TECHNICAL NOTES
REF TEK Interface
SOFTWARE SUITE (RTI)
The RTI software suite was developed for network station communication, command/control, real-
time and interactive data viewing of 130 Recorders over LAN/WAN. RTI is a multi-platform software
suite and runs on Windows, Linux, or Solaris Notebook/Desktop computer.
RTI Includes
►► Ref Tek Protocol (RTPD)
REF TEK Interface (RTI) Architecture
►► Archive Utilities
►► Data Clients:
–– REF TEK Network Monitor
–– REF TEK Standard Firmware (RTCC)
–– REF TEK Command Firmware (SMCC)
►► RTDisplay
►► Data Utilities

corrected communications with REF TEK DAS units over a variety of report of a network of 130 DAS units to the user. It requests status from
physical media. This is accomplished using REF TEK Protocol (RTP), all connected REF TEK 130’s and acts as a HTML server to present the
a UDP-based error-correcting protocol developed by REF TEK. RTPD information to the user.
does not directly configure or control the media, but depends on the
workstation’s OS and device drivers to provide network protocol support
for the selected media.
RTPD receives recording packets and stores them in a REF TEK data
archive. RTPD allows client programs (data source modules) to receive
the recording packets and to issue commands to a DAS and receive the
responses. Multiple clients can attach to RTPD simultaneously.
The REF TEK 130 DAS supports RTP over Ethernet and RS-232
serial links. RTPD functional diagram is shown on the front page of
this brochure.
ARCHIVE UTILITIES
The REF TEK Archive Utilities are installed with RTPD. These utilities are
required to create a data archive for RTPD to store incoming data. In
normal operation, an archive is created by using Arccreate and filled by
RTPD.

A data client can reside on a different workstation or even a different

clients with RTPD.

RTCC
The REF TEK Command and Control program (RTCC) is a multi-platform
interface for command and control of either single or multiple 130 series
DAS units. It can connect as a data client to RTPD or communicate
directly with a DAS over a TCP/IP (LAN/WAN) connection or through a
physical serial connection.
RTCC acts as an is a HTML server to present the information to the user.
RTDISPLAY
RTDisplay is a multi-platform data client to RTPD thatreceives a copy of
all data packets and provides viewing of REF TEK data in real-time. The
user has the ability to pick and choose which channels will be displayed.
RTDisplay provides many user options for viewing real-time data
including: volts or counts, filtered or unfiltered data, PSD of displayed
data, etc. Ordering Information
