The SIMA software project involves the cooperative effort by Joe Gerencher, builder and maintainer of the seismic system, and Mike Sands, programmer who wrote the SIMA code for the near-real-time Internet broadcasting and reception of the seismic signals.

"News/Home" is this page.  It is where you find the basic explanation for the SIMA application web site. 

"Download" allows you to obtain the free SIMA client software to display seismic traces.  If you have appropriate seismometers, it also contains the free software to collect and broadcast seismic traces and join the community of stations that are willing to share their signals over the Internet. 

"Station Registry" provides information about stations that are currently broadcasting via this software.  Eventually, it will be automated to allow new stations to voluntarily register at this site as well, but for the present time, new stations must be hand-entered.

"Additional Info" provides detailed information about recommended procedures and useful suggestions for installing and running the software, and specific information about the seismometers at Moravian College, which is home to this project.  It also contains a link to all known bugs in the SIMA software.

"User's Manual" contains a printable guide to the use of all the software that is offered on this site.
