ADP Software Manual Version 6.42 (November 1, 2000) 1
SECTION 1. Software Summary
This section gives a summary of all programs provided with the ADP Software Version 6.42.
The software includes programs for real-time data collection, data conversion, compass
calibration, recorder data extraction, and direct communication with the ADP. A list of the files
on the diskette, with a description of their basic function, is shown below.
• README ASCII text file containing a summary of the programs on the
diskette.
• ADPSA.EXE Real-time data collection (see SECTION 2).
• COMPCAL.EXE Compass calibration (see SECTION 4).
• GADPAMP.EXE Data conversion programs. These extract different portions of
GADPCTL.EXE ADP data from the binary files to an easily accessible ASCII
GADPGPS.EXE format (see SECTION 3).
GADPHDR.EXE
GADPSNR.EXE
GADPSTD.EXE
GADPVEL.EXE
Extraction programs for using with ADP optional features:
• GADPBT.EXE (Described in Part 5)
GADPCTD.EXE ( Part 5)
GADPPRES.EXE ( Part 5)
GADPWAVE.EXE ( Part 5)
• MAGDEC A useful utility, which provides compass magnetic declination at a
specified position and time (SECTION 7)
• SONREC.EXE Recorder data extraction (see SECTION 7).
• SONTERM.EXE Terminal emulator (see SECTION 5).
Additionally, the diskette includes a directory called SOURCE. This directory contains source
code, written in C, for all ADP data conversion routines (the GADP___.EXE files). This code
allows the user to easily write their own software to access the ADP binary data files. The code
should be easily understandable to anyone with basic experience programming in C.
