    • main

      public static void main(String[] args)
      PAMGUARD can be started in three different modes.

      Normal mode (no args in) is for everyday data processing and collection.

      -v = Viewer mode which will connect to a database and re-display data from a given time period.

      -m = Mixed mode which will connect to a database, Sounds are analysed from file and new results written to the database, but other data, such as GPS data, are read from the database synchronised in time to the audio data to correctly reconstruct tracks, etc. PAMGuard generally needs more memory than allocated by default and you'll need to tell it where various library files are for access to Windows i/o devices. You will therefore need the following two commands to the jre, which if you're running from Eclipse are entered into the Arguments / VM arguments section of the run configuration: -Xmx6g -Djava.library.path=lib64
