NAME

RadarSim - Create Radar playback object within a SIRS (Stand-alone Interfacility and Radar Simulator) scenario.

SYNOPSIS

RadarSim name -dev Output_device -srv Surveillance_file [-wx Wx_file] [-rs232 [0..1]] [-invert [0..1]] [-rate baud_rate] [-type [lrr..srr..asr11]]

DESCRIPTION

RadarSim creates a Radar playback object which will func- tionally act as a radar during a SIRS scenario. The RadarSim requires a surveillance file, which consists of a list of time-stamped radar messages to be played back.

Options

-dev Specifies the output radar transmit device to use. Radar transmit devices are named /dev/rdrtx0 thru /dev/rdrtxN, where N = 2*number of radar transmit cards in system (each device uses 4 channels, or 2 devices per card). Devices present on another SIRS tool may be specified by prefixing "hostname:" before the device.

-srv Specifies the filename from which surveillance msgs will be generated.

-wx Specifies the filename from which wx msgs will be generated.

-rs232 If this option is set to 1, line driver outputs will be forced to rs232.

-invert If this option is set to 1, data logic levels will be inverted.

-rate Allows user to specify a non-standard baud rate. Must be a multiple of 2400.

-type Perform some radar specific tuning. lrr -- don't activate 4th serial channel; ignore any wx file; don't generate SCIP control msgs. asr11 -- force all msgs to channel 0; don't generate SCIP control msgs; mask out flags field on all msgs.

CREATION ACTION

On creation, a window is created in the 3rd column of the virtual X-display. The radar device is initialized (starts idling), and the radar file position is set based on the value of the global variable SimTime.

START ACTION

Radar transmission begins when the start command is received, and will continue until exit. Message statis- tics will be updated in the window, and represent the mes- sages uploaded to the device, not the number of meesages transmitted over the wire.
