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.

Installation Notes

†To determine if the target Raspberry PI OS is 32-bit or 64-bit, run getconf LONG_BIT as a shell command and then choose appropriate M5 Monitor Service Debian package (ARM for 32-bit or ARM64 for 64-bit).

‡Installing these Windows x64 applications with local admin priveleges allows choosing installation type of per-machine (everyone) or per-user (default for non-admin users) by clicking on the Install drop-down button and selecting the Config option.
