提供资金购买硬件和软件， 提高米勒斯维尔的UNIDATA系统的能力 宾夕法尼亚大学。 UNIDATA计划是一项国家计划， 帮助大学使用计算和通信的计划 访问、显示和分析科学数据的技术。 UNIDATA开发的软件套件能够运行 在多个硬件平台上和跨多个硬件平台。 米勒斯维尔有 积极和创造性地参与UNIDATA方案 数年 为了进一步提高他们的能力 米勒斯维尔将获得一个工作站和局域网 (LAN)硬件与软件 局域网将允许现有的个人电脑- McIDAS系统（UNIDATA套件中基于PC的程序， 软件）与另一个UNIDATA软件系统接口， 科学数据管理/本地数据管理软件。 的 该设备的采购是地球部的一部分， 科学的战略计划，以继续和加强其 参与UNIDATA计划;大大扩大使用 在课堂上使用实时数据的PC-McIDAS;并支持 开发研究机会。 设备将运行 作为额外的工作站和接收器/管理器， 文件服务器的现有OS/2为基础的PC-McIDAS系统。

Funds are provided to purchase hardware and software to enhance the capabilities of the UNIDATA system at Millersville University of Pennsylvania. The UNIDATA program is a national program to help universities use computing and communication technologies to access, display and analyze scientific data. The suite of software developed by UNIDATA is capable of running on, and across, multiply hardware platforms. Millersville has been an active and creative participant in the UNIDATA program for several years. To further enhance their capabilities Millersville will acquire a workstation and local area network (LAN) hardware and software. The LAN will allow the existing PC- McIDAS systems (a PC-based program in the UNIDATA suite of software) to interface with another UNIDATA software system, the Scientific Data Management/Local Data Management software. The acquisition of this equipment is part of the Department of Earth Sciences' strategic plan to continue and strengthen its participation in the UNIDATA Program; to greatly expand the use of PC-McIDAS with real-time data in the classroom; and to support and develop research opportunities. The equipment will operate as both an additional workstation and an ingester/manager and file server for the present OS/2-based PC-McIDAS systems.
