- A to echo "address\r\n" - artifact of IMET, simple confirmation
of 'life'
- NOTE: address is NOT USED currently, but may be set/modified by UOK
command below.
- CLOCK to see current date/time setting. Responds with
"yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss\r\n"
- CLOCK=yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss to set date/time; Sampling
MUST be STOPPED to set the clock.
- D responds with a single line of data (subset of full logged data)
from most recent sample interval;
each line is terminated with \r\n
Firmware Ver 2.50 displays:
- E responds with data from most recent sample interval on individual lines with headings;
each line is terminated with \r\n
Firmware Ver 2.50 displays:
H-BPR: 1012.32
HRH: 72.34 24.123
LWR: 389.2
PRC: 43.65
SCT: 5.107 1.0127
SWR: 994.23
WND: -12.31 4.76
BAT: 12.43 13.12 0.0 0.0 (BAT 1-4 correspond to MUX_PARM_# 5 - 8; see 'D' command above)
- FB read 512 byte blocks of memory (HEX-ASCII)
On entry, the prompt "Start block # -> " is displayed; the first
block (and default block) is 1; each successive block is 512
bytes farther into the card (note that the first 'record' is written
at block 257 - the first 131072 bytes are reserved); enter a value,
terminated by \r, to get first block. Enter X to exit, any other key
for the next block;
sampling MUST be STOPPED)
- Blocks are displayed in HEX-ASCII, 32 bytes (64 characters) per
line by 16 lines, each terminated "\r\n". A blank line is inserted
between successive blocks.
- On completion, i.e., you sent an X to exit, an extra "\r\n" is sent.
- FC read current record configuration; currently responds
with "Defaults Only\r\n"
See Record Format.
- FR read records
On entry, the prompt "Start record # -> " is displayed; the first
record (and default record) is 1; each successive record is "sizeof LOGR_record"
bytes farther into the card (note that the first 'record' is written
at block 257 - the first 131072 bytes are reserved); enter a value,
terminated by \r, to get first record. Enter X to exit, any other key
for the next record;
sampling MUST be STOPPED)
- FS report current card status (size, used, unused). Each line is
terminated in "\r\n".
Example:
PCMCIA CARD present - CARD OK!
FLASH card capacity: 20839680
Records used: 114; available: 21326
- GO to start sampling (power up default - only used to restart
after STOP for testing, new configuration, etc.) Responds with
"Sampling GO\r\n". Sampling MUST be STOPPED.
- HELP displays a brief list of all the commands. Each line is
terminated in "\r\n". A truncated HELP output is displayed
when LOGR53 is running (GO mode); i.e., only those commands
available while running are displayed. To access the full
command set, the LOGR53 must be STOPPED.
Example of output in STOPPED mode:
Firmware CBLAST/SECNAV v2.50
A - Address acknowledge
CLOCK(=YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS) - Read/Set RT clock date/time
D - Send latest standard data
E - Send latest extended data

FB - Read any block, hex
FC - Current record configuration
FR - Read data record, formatted

Sampling GO
NOTE: Power to failed modules is cycled OFF for 45 seconds, then restored;
At the next 1 minute interval, new data will NOT be ready on some modules - new data will
appear at 2 minutes after the power was originally cycled off.
- STOP to stop sampling and allow configuration changes
or testing. Responds with "Sampling STOP\r\n".
- TA Test A/D module
- On entry, displays "A/D Module test command", then continuously
polls 8 A/D channels by sending a 'P1' thru 'P8' command to the
default module address (e.g. #LAD01P3)
- displays all 8 values on one line
Example:
A/D Module test command
ADI: 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 12.43 13.21 0.0 0.0
- Updates about every 5 seconds.
- To quit, hit ESC.
- NOTE: there is about a 2 second timeout delay on a bad/missing module;
returns: ADI: not responding (not installed?)
- TM Test all modules (MET/SST only, fixed format)
- On entry, displays "MET/SST Module test command", then continuously
tries to poll the standard 8 modules by sending a 'C' command to the
default module address (e.g. #HRH01C)
- displays one module per line, full 'C' command return string
Example:
MET Module test command
H-BPR: 976.32
HRH: 0.000 0.000
LWR: 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000
PRC: not responding (not installed?)
SCT: not responding (not installed?)
SWR: -4.3
TMP: not responding (not installed?)
WND: not responding (not installed?)
- Updates about every 5 seconds (longer if missing modules)
- To quit, hit ESC.
- NOTE: there is about a 2 second timeout delay on each bad/missing module
- TP Test PTT serial comms
- On entry, displays "PTT test command",
- NOT IMPLEMENTED
- Sampling MUST be STOPPED to use
any test command.
- UOK enter configuration update mode (held in EEPROM)
- Commands tagged with * will respond individually with their
current settings if terminated immediately with <cr>; i.e.
to see the current address, send ADR<cr>
- Remain in update mode until ABORT or WRTOK command.
- Sampling MUST be STOPPED to enter update mode.
- ABORT to quit this mode without update; responds with
"quitting...\r\n" after restoring original settings.
- * ADR=xxxxx to set 1 to 5 character address (default
is LOG01). These must be alpha-numeric. NOT USED in Ver 2.x
- * CD=xxxxxxx to set a free format, 7 characters max, configuration
date. For reference only, not used internally by instrument.
Displayed in STAT command.
- FEOK erase entire FLASH memory card.
NOTE that this command has nothing to do with EEPROM;
it's here to make it harder to do accidently! After erasing FLASH memory
you may exit the UOK command by using ABORT.
Requests 'Y' confirmation before proceeding.
- FE1OK erase first 1/2 MB of FLASH memory card. QUICK FOR USE IN TESTING!!!
If you aren't sure whether data has been written past the 1/2 MB point, use FEOK above!
NOTE that this command has nothing to do with EEPROM;
it's here to make it harder to do accidently! After erasing FLASH memory
you may exit the UOK command by using ABORT.
Requests 'Y' confirmation before proceeding.
- * RI=xxxx to set the logging interval (typically 60 seconds)
The interval may be fro 15 to 3600 seconds, in multiples of 15 seconds only!
Displayed in STAT command.
- WRTOK to write all EEPROM parameters.
Update mode exits upon completion of write.
- XMODE XMODEM Dump PCMCIA card via RS232 console
Standard 40MB FLASH cards will take FOREVER to read this way -
the preferred method of reading data is to remove the FLASH card
from the LOGR53 and read it on a Linux-based laptop with PCCard slot
per Linux PCMCIA FLASH Card Reading
- Sampling MUST be STOPPED to dump data.
- This command is rudimentary; if you must dump data this way,
use the FR command to display any record and see if it's where you wish
to begin. Records are currently 64 bytes long, so you'll get
16384 records per dump request. (Record length is likely to change).
- Command dumps up to 1 MB of data from the requested starting record. The dump will
end after the last valid record is reached, so if there is not actually 1 MB of data
after the requested start record, the dump will stop (saves you time - you'd want it
that way!)
- On command entry, requests: Start record # (0 aborts) ->
- i.e. to get first MB of data (16384 records -> about 11 days), enter 1 as start record
- add 16384 to your start record number to find the start of subsequent 1 MB blocks of data;
i.e. if you entered 1 to start at the first record on the FLASH card, subsequent 1 MB blocks
of data start at 16385, 32769, 49153, 65537, etc...
- Typical example - the following description assumes PCPLUS for terminal software,
but any terminal program capable of XMODEM transfer should work.
- On entry, LOGR53 will prompt:
Start record # (0 aborts) ->
Enter a valid record # (see discussion above)
- Next, you'll be prompted:
Set terminal speed for 38400 then hit any key
- After setting speed and hitting a key, you will see:
XMODEM Send Function
Waiting for start...
- Start a transfer (PgDn in PCPLUS) - on completion, you will see something like:
Sent 238 blocks - done
Restore terminal speed to 9600 then hit any key
NOTE:"blocks" here are XMODEM blocks of 128 bytes each
- After resetting speed to 9600 baud and hitting a key, LOGR53 will send a
"\r\n"
- Ignore occasional gibberish when changing baud rates!
