-  --host        the address to connect to
-  --port        the port to use
-  --file        file to read from (as opposed to host and port)
-  --interval    The time between creating new files in hours
-  --output_dir  specifies the folder to write all the files
-  --mode        sets the statistics type to be decoded options: "SST", "XST", "BST"
-  --debug       takes no arguments, when used prints a lot of extra data to help with debugging
-  --decimation  Configure the writer to only store one every n samples. Saves storage space
