<br />. <br /> <br />Three ISC 2427 color CRT terminals, a Sanyo MBC-775 color CRT terminal, a <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Tektronix 4105A color CRT terminal, an LA 120 console printer, a 600 LPM <br /> <br />printer, and an ISC X-V color plotter are located in the Division of Water <br /> <br />Resources I Denver office. Each of the seven Division offices has been pro- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />vided with a Wang PC-XC3 computer having 256 KBytes of CPU. A memory expan- <br /> <br />sian board increases the memory by 512 KBytes. Each un it has a software <br /> <br />communications and productivity package, color display CRT terminal, printer, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />and modem. Thirty-two EPSON HX-20 portable remote terminals have been distri- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />buted to fi e ld staff and Water Commi ss ioners through the Di vi sian offices. <br />These termi na 1 s are capable of prograrmli ng the DCP I s vi a an RS-232 port and, <br />being equipped with acoustic couplers, can provide for system access via phone <br /> <br />communications. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Figure 1 illustrates the system configuration. <br /> <br />Figure 2 illustrates the configuration of the Direct Readout Ground <br /> <br />Station. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Figure 3 illustrates the central computer hardware configuration. <br /> <br />Figure 4 illustrates the data management software configuration. <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />The communications link for data transmissions is the Geostationary <br /> <br /> <br />Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES). GOES is a federal communications <br /> <br />, <br />I <br />L <br />;. <br /> <br />satellite operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, <br /> <br />National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NOAA-NESDIS). <br /> <br /> <br />The GOES satellites are in an equatorial, geostationary orbit at a point <br /> <br />22,500 miles in space. <br /> <br />This type of orbit allows for a continuous <br /> <br />, <br />~. <br /> <br />1 i ne-of -s i ght to be mai ntai ned with both remote transmitters and the Direct <br /> <br />Readout Ground Stat ion. <br /> <br />NOAA-NESDIS has provided the Colorado State <br /> <br />-s- <br /> <br />. <br />
