 Import_ida acquires data from one or more Project IDA data servers, reformats them into !TracePackets and loads them into an Earthworm transport ring. The communication with the data server(s) is done using the idatap-1.2.1 toolkit available from the University of California, San Diego via

 Network timeouts are dealt with transparently to the application by the idatap library, which will retry and reconnect as necessary until successfull or until a more serious error occurs, at which point import_ida assumes the responsibility for reestablishing the connection. The import_ida.d parameter file includes an option for specifying the policy to follow when reconnecting after a loss of communication. One may chose to request the next packet in sequence (to minimize gaps in the acquired data set) or to request the most recently available data (to minimize delays).

+# import_ida parameter file
 
+#  Basic Earthworm setup:
+
+MyModuleId         MOD_IMPORT_IDA # module id for this process
+OutRing            WAVE_RING      # output ring
+HeartBeatInterval  30             # seconds between heartbeats
+
+# We need to assign unique pin numbers to each net/sta/chan triple that
+# gets sent to the output ring.  Give the name of the file that contains
+# this information.  The format of this file must be the same as what
+# pick_ew expects.  You can create your own file with IDA specific
+# entries (see ida.sta for an example), or you can add the required 
+# information to the pick_ew station file.  The picker parameters are
+# not required here, and as far as this program is concerned those fields
+# may be left blank.

+PinnoFile          ida.sta
+
+# It is up to the user to insure that there are entries in the above file
+# for all expected net/sta/chan triples, however the program will work even
+# if the database is incomplete.  In such a case, an unresolved net/sta/chan
+# will be assigned a default pin number of 12345.  You can override this
+# default by specifying an alternate value.

+DefaultPinno       12345

+# Define the policy to follow when reconnecting after circuit timeouts.
+# There are two choices: MINIMAL_GAP, or MINIMAL_DELAY.  If the former
+# is selected then the program will request the flow start at the end of
+# whatever has been received so far.  If the latter is selected then the
+# program will request the flow start with the most recent packet available
+# on the server.

+# code which gets loaded into the packet headers.  If you want to override
+# this with some other code, enter it here.
