5.3.2 Menu ’Groundstation’
This menu is used to switch between the different Ground Stations.
5.3.3 Menu ’Settings’
This menu is used to configure the user preferences of the TSC. The configuration parameters are
found in the home directory of the current user under
[home]/.tsc/settings/settings_tsc.conf or
[home]/.tsc/settings/settings_startup_tsc.conf.
NOTE: These files should not be edited manually.
The menu items are:
S Beep on error: : Enables/disables the error beep.
S Logging... : Opens a dialog, see Fig. 5−4, to configure logging settings.
S New Log File : Forces the creation of a new file.
S Load Settings : Loads the settings, which are saved in the settings_tsc.conf file.
S Save Settings : Saves the current settings to the file settings_tsc.conf.
NOTE: The menu item ’Beep on Error’ is hidden by default and the option itself is enabled. To
make this menu item visible, change the corresponding user role configuration file (refer
to section 3.5.1) and set the popUpAndBeep(enableMenu) parameter ’0’ to ’1’.
Example:
Load TSC configuration file into editor with
nedit /usr/local/tsc/.tsc−config/supervisor_user.config
Change parameter: popUpAndBeep(enableMenu)0 to 1
Save and quit the editor. Start the TSC again and select the menu settings. Disable Beep.
Save your settings.
The dialog appearing after selecting the menu item ’Logging ...’ has the following layout (see Fig.
5−4):
The first field shows the name of the log file currently in use. The name is automatically generated and
cannot be changed.
The next two fields define the conditions under which the current log file is closed and a new log file
is generated. If the corresponding option buttons are enabled, a new file is allocated, if
S the maximum size of the log file in KB or
S the maximum age of the log file in minutes
is reached.
If none of the option buttons is enabled, the log file will grow until it runs out of available disk space.
If both option buttons are enabled, the first condition met triggers the creation of a new log file.
The ’Logfile Lifetime’ parameter defines how long the log file is allowed to exist before deletion. The
TSC installs a cron job, that runs every 24 hours. It deletes all logfiles whose write access timestamp
is older than n days ago (n = logfile lifetime parameter). The cron job also starts, if no instance of the
TSC is running. Logfiles currently in use by a TSC are not deleted.
