15.11.2. Iridium Header Examples
The following examples illustrate how to use the new header.
15.11.2.1. Example 1
Message requiring one packet (i.e., non-extended), formatted pseudobinary B interleaved,
containing 6 values (42, 69, alternating).
Self-timed
0B1@AAhAktAAhAktAAhAkt
Entering Alarm
2B2@AAhAktAAhAktAAhAkt
Exiting Alarm
4B3@AAhAktAAhAktAAhAkt
15.11.2.2. Example 2
The same data in SHEF format:
Self-timed
0:HG 0 #1 42.00 42.00 42.00 :EM 0 #1 69.00 69.00 69.00
Entering Alarm
2:HG 0 #1 42.00 42.00 42.00 :EM 0 #1 69.00 69.00 69.00
Exiting Alarm
4:HG 0 #1 42.00 42.00 42.00 :EM 0 #1 69.00 69.00 69.00
15.11.2.3. Example 3
An extended command response where the total size of the command response is 512 bytes
(note: total size is of the response itself, and does not include the overhead of the telemetry
headers used to convey it). The example uses a message id of 0:
Packet 1
7,0,0,512:bytes 0 thru 319
Packet 2
7,0,320:bytes 320 thru 511
15.11.3. Tx Station Name
There is an option to include the station name in the Iridium Header. The setting is called Tx
Station Name and it defaults to disabled. That setting is accessible only via the terminal
(LinkComm->Tools Menu->Terminal). To enable it, type
Tx Station Name = On
o After all the headers, system will append ,N=Station Name:
o If the station name were Two Creeks, it would be ,N=Two Creeks:
STANDARD
WITH STATION NAME
0B1@AAhAktAAhAktAAhAkt
0,N=Two Creeks:B1@AAhAktAAhAktAAhAkt
4:HG 0 #1 42.00 42.00 42.00 :EM 0 #1 69.00
69.00 69.00
4,N=Two Creeks::HG 0 #1 42.00 42.00 42.00
:EM 0 #1 69.00 69.00 69.00
7,0,0,512:bytes 0 thru 319
7,0,0,512,N=Two Creeks:bytes 0 thru 319
7,0,320:bytes 320 thru 511
7,0,320:bytes 320 thru 511
For extended packets, only the first message carries the station name. The name field comes
after all the other headers.
