A simple logging GUI for MISO TowCam: https://www2.whoi.edu/site/miso/miso-instrumentation/towcam/ The GUI displays live feeds of TowCam altimeter, depth, and forward-looking altimeter (if installed) for use during operations.
- Source repository: https://github.com/WHOIGit/TowCam/
The TowCam GUI requires Qt6 (https://www.qt.io/download-open-source) and CMake (https://cmake.org/). Obtaining Qt and CMake varies by OS. Additionally, for XCode (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) is required for building TowCam for Apple OSX.
To build TowCam:
git clone https://github.com/WHOIGit/TowCam # Clone this git repository
cd towcam
mkdir build && cd build # Make a build directory
cmake .. && cmake --build . # Configure and build the 'towcam' application.
cpack -G $GEN # Package the application. Typical values of $GEN would be:
# Windows: ZIP (ZIP archive w/ Qt libraries)
# Linux: TGZ (gzipped tar archive (.tar.gz) w/ Qt libraries)
# OSX: DragNDrop (Disk image (.dmg) with shortcut to Applications for install)
The GUI looks for a file named towcam.ini in the Desktop folder. An example configuration file
is provided in this repository.
Data is logged to a folder named towcamData that will be created in the Desktop folder.
