M5 Interrogation Software

Description

M5 software operates unattended at interrogation sites registered with PTAGIS, collecting and submitting observations of PIT tagged fish in near real-time. Please review the help file for more information about installing, configuring and operating this software.

M5 is comprised of multiple components, each with separate installers:

• M5 Monitor Service is a long-running background service without a user interface that processes data from connected transceivers into files and uploads them to PTAGIS. Can be installed on Windows or Linux platforms.
• M5 Control Panel is a client application (pictured above) used to configure and operate a connected M5 Monitor Service running on the same or different machine.
• M5 File Manager is an application to correct and resubmit rejected M5 data files.
• M5 Terminal Utility is an application used to configure transceivers and troubleshoot connections.
