Hi!

If Seti@home.exe find a possible signal, is there anything implented in the program that tells that an possible signal is found?

It should be much funnier if we could get an popup window IF any strange signal is found.

Once in the time i was using my pc to search for keys for pirate-tv. And if any key was found a window popped up and told that a key was found.

Cant it be possible to do such a thing in seti?

Yesterday i searched an area, that looked stranger than those i have searched before.
But i dont have a clue if there was anything unusual exept the graphic staples on the left side...

Regards
Patrik

I haven't heard of any mechanism to indicate good from bad signals. There are several third party programs for looking at your data. I haven't happened to use any. Perhaps someone else with links can provide them for you. BoincSpy, BoincDV, BoincView, and BoincLogix are a couple of third party programs that come to mind. Most of these are 'control' programs, but I believe that there's one that shows the sky and where your WU came from.

Thanx

I guess i can see on the homepage if there were anything intresting in my unit

Okay each chunk we download is part of a larger chunk. Most of the time until that alrger chunk is put back together there will be no clue whether you have uncovered a signal or not. IF something interesting is found then other telescopes will be pointed to that point in the sky to try and reproduce what was thought to be found. IF that pans out then more telescopes will be trained on that point in the sky and serious recording will begin to take place. After all that the recordings will be analyzed. Only AFTER all that can anyone say that a signal has been found, up until the analyzation process is completed, it could just be noise.
