SHOWCast_Cloud_1

Hi community,

On SHOWCast v 2.1.0 we’ll have a great new optional feature: automatic download from the cloud, easily configured by user.

SHOWCast_Cloud

This would be used on three situations:

  • GNC-A Users who want to complement the data available on the broadcast
  • Non GNC-A Users who want to use SHOWCast with data available on the cloud
  • Non GNC-A Users who do not want to use SHOWCast visualization interface at all, and just want to download data from the cloud routinely, and easily.

It will be just a matter of configuring what you want to download and double clicking at the “cloud_download_start” utility:

SHOWCast_Cloud_2

Easy isn’t it?

These will be the initial datasets available:

  • The bands they want to download (if applicable)
  • The minutes they want to download (’00’, ’10’, ’20’, ’30’, ’40’ or ’50’)
  • The folders they want to store the downloaded data
