SirTune consists of an object file (for data collecting) as well as SOUL files (for reporting). As of SirTune 7.1, the object code was integrated into Sirius Mods, and as of Model 204 7.5, Sirius Mods was integrated into the Model 204 nucleus. Thus, if you are running Model 204 7.5 or later and you are authorized to use SirTune, the necessary object code is already installed into Model 204.

In addition to the object code, you need to download and install the SirTune SOUL files to run SirTune reports, and this is covered in the following section.”


SirTune object file

You can download the SirTune object files from the Rocket Software website "Rocket M204 Customer Care" page (http://m204.rocketsoftware.com). The download process requires a Model 204 user ID and password.

  1. On the "Rocket M204 Customer Care" page, go to the "Downloads and Uploads" section and click the "Download object files" link.

    After providing Model 204 login credentials, you access the "Download object files" page, which contains a dynamically-generated list of the various Model 204 object files that you are authorized to download.

  2. Select the link(s) to the currently available object file for the version you require. Since the SirTune object file is integrated into the "Sirius Mods" object file, select the "Sirus Mods" link (V6.9 or higher) for the appropriate version of Model 204.

    Clicking a link generates an object file for SirTune that is pre-configured for your site, with all maintenance and authorization ZAPs applied.

Running an earlier version of SirTune with Sirius Mods version 6.9 or later is not recommended, since older versions of SirTune are not upgraded to work with new versions of Sirius Mods, RKTools, or Model 204.

SirTune SOUL files

SirTune report generation is performed by a SOUL program that is distributed as part of the RKTools product family in the SIRIUS file (prior to RKTools version 7.7) or the M204PROC file (as of RKTools 7.7).

  • If your site uses RKTools, verify that file SIRIUS or M204PROC contains the program SIRTUNEREPORT. If the RKTools version is 7.7 or higher, you can use the RKWeb interface to view SirTune report output on your browser. RKTools installation has information about RKTools and RKWeb installation.
  • If your site is not licensed for RKTools, you are still authorized (as a user of SirTune) to download the SIRIUS or M204PROC file. You can download the file from the Rocket website:
    1. On the "SOUL files" page, click the "SOUL files" link in the "Downloads and Uploads" section.
    2. On the Rocket M204 Customer Care page, find the appropriate row for your version of RKTools, and click the "Download Procfile" link.

    You don't need to do the entire RKTools installation: just download and restore the SIRIUS or M204PROC file, and make it available to your SirTune report jobs.
