SYSTEM MANUAL
VERSION 1.2.11
3-76 SECTION 3 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Commanding DESC Operations
3:146. Limited commanding of the CONTROL platform is available via uploading COMMAND.REM file
containing one line of text with the following possible contents:
• REBOOT DESC -- reboot CONTROL platform
• STOP DESC -- send STOP command to DESC
• GO TO DIAG -- send Switch to Diagnostic mode command
• SOFT STOP -- equivalent to GO TO DIAG
• GO TO AUTO -- send “Switch to Automatic mode” command
You can enclose commands in angle brackets, so any text outside the angle brackets will be ignored.
Updates to PROGSCHED
3:147. Contents of the active PROGSCHED at the sounder can be updated by uploading the [edited]
PROGSCHED file to the DCART incoming folder /digisonde/dpsmain/aux2dps as DCD.REM or
PROGSCHD.REM.
3:148. DCART first checks your PROGSCHED file for correctness, and does not update the active
PROGSCHED if it finds any error. When updating the active PROGSCHED, DCART will not interrupt the
currently running program. Instead, DCART waits until the running program completes then replaces the ac-
tive PROGSCHED with your PROGSCHED, and switches back to Automatic mode.
3:149. The message “System Progsched has been changed through file channel interface” is written into the
logfile, if the operation finishes successfully. Otherwise the appropriate error message is written into the logfile,
which shows the PROGSCHED error in details.
NOTE
Development of new programs, schedules, and SST planning rules shall always start
with downloading currently active PROGSCHED from the sounder site. Active
PROGSCHED file resides in /digisonde/dispatch/Control folder as file progsched.
Uploads of the edited PROGSCHED files shall not be done by overwriting the active
PROGSCHED file in /digisonde/dispatch/Control folder. Instead, upload PROGSCHED
to /digisonde/dpsmain/aux2dps and rename it to DCD.REM.
Control of Dispatcher
3:150. Simple remote control of Dispatcher operations is provided by uploading remote request files (.REQ)
to incoming folder /digisonde/secure/incoming. It is possible to:
• Restart DATA platform by placing RESET.REQ file with single line containing digit 2,
• Re-read Dispatcher configuration file DISPATCH.UDD by placing an empty NEW_SETTINGS.REQ
file.
Upload of Campaign Requests
3:151. DCART supports standard remote campaign requests (RCR) files generated by the ADRES request
subsystem of the DIDBase. RCR files have two or more lines of plain text as described in Table 3-16.
