Caution: Users can delete the default file(s). If this is done and a new user default logging
configuration is not saved, the system will use the factory defaults when rebooted, restarted or
power cycled.
Use the settings gps_logging:ftp or gps_logging:rt command to ensure the system is using the
desired settings based on the newly loaded configuration file. Use the save command to save the
current system settings and this will also save the log settings and the system will use these
settings after a power cycle, restart, or reboot.
2.10.4 System Configuration Files (Syscfg)
The system is capable of allowing users to monitor and verify system configurations using the
syscfg configuration file and command. The local configuration file can be set up so critical
system parameters can be checked against user defined nominal values and when the system
settings do not match the nominal values the system provides a user defined alarm string to
describe the configuration mismatch. This applies to any data set the system generates on Port
1900. Users can define the field and the nominal value. Users are cautioned that these values
reported on Port 1900 are checked and must exactly match the value in the syscfg file. As an
example, if you are operating in the dynamic positioning mode you would not want to set a
nominal value for the altitude, latitude or longitude. You can however set the nominal value to
“dynamic” for the positioning mode to alert you if someone places the unit in the incorrect
positioning mode.
To modify the file there are three fields used to set each monitored parameter up. The first is the
address which is the exact value reported on port 1900 for the field you wish to monitor, in the
example it is monitoring the longitude for the GPS receiver. The second field is the expected
value, what are you expecting the unit to report. The last field is the error message itself; you
have the ability to set the alarm text that is reported when an alarm occurs.
# {
# "address": "status:gps:position:lon",
# "expectedValue": "-1.052389554858673e+02",
# "errorMsg": "Incorrect longitude setting"
# },
By default the system is operating in the “standalone” mode and in this mode these parameters
are not checked against the information provided on Port 1900. To enable this feature users will
need to set the nominal values in the /mod/tsc/syscfg/localcfg.py file. If no user specific
parameters are set the system will use the factory default file /usr/tsc/syscfg/syscfg_default.py.
Once the settings are entered users can turn this feature on using the syscfg command. See
Appendix D for examples.

Users can export the file using the --export option, download it via FTP, and edit the file in an
editor of their choice. A Linux editor is recommended to prevent the Carriage Returns/Linefeeds
from becoming an issue. Once the file has been edited users can upload the new file and then use
the --import option to bring in the new file. Once successfully imported the system will load and
begin using the imported file. See Appendix D for the detailed command information.
