Online at Last

After some splendid gadgeteering by Steve the roving schoolboy seismologist is now online, streaming live seismic data to the entire interweb.
Live seismic data from Oklahoma.  Top is from amateur site Oklahoma-Shakes, bottom is from Ben's geophone, each line shows 1hour of data wrapping around to the next hour on the next line (8 hours total) time is UTC (or GMT for the oldies)

If you want to track seismic data from Oklahoma from here in the UK these data streams can be viewed online by installing the software jAmaSeis from https://www.iris.edu/hq/inclass/software-web-app/jamaseis
This free software runs on any computer and lets you monitor live data from remote stations.    Choose remote station KEYWB  for Ben's seismic station or MAOK for another station in Oklahoma  in the source configuration wizard (MAOK is a bit quieter than Ben's as it located away from people on a ground-floor location)

HINT you can adjust the amplitude of traces by clicking on the SCALE button (bottom right) for each trace

    My Antivirus (Symantec) rejects the Windows 64bits installer and says there is a malware inside.
