3.5.2 Runtime Settings
The runtime settings of the TSC are user−specific. This means the settings files are located in the
home directory of the specific user. These files are generated by the TSC and must not be edited
manually.
The two settings files are located in the directory
[home]/.tsc/settings/. [home] is to be replaced
with the user’s home directory, which is extracted from the environment variable $HOME. If this vari-
able is not set correctly, loading and saving of these files can fail.
The files are
[home]/.tsc/settings/settings_tsc.conf or
[home]/.tsc/settings/settings_startup_tsc.conf.
(see section 5.3.3 for details)
3.5.2.1 Settings File
The file settings_tsc.conf can be saved and loaded manually by the user or automatically by the TSC.
This depends on the TSC settings in the ’Settings’ menu (see section 5.3.3).
3.5.2.1.1 Starting Settings File
The settings_startup_tsc.conf file is loaded and saved automatically during TSC start−up and shut-
down, respectively. The following configuration parameters are stored:
S State of the window (normal or minimized)
S Size of the window
S Last selected page
S Logging parameters (log file directory, etc.)
S Size and position of the log message window
3.5.3 Ground Station List
The Technical System Control (TSC) is to monitor the Ground Station state and to alarm a user in case
of a malfunction. The TSC can be switched to control another Ground Station. This requires that the
TSC needs a list of available ground stations.
On a RCMS the Ground Station list of the MTSC is used by the TSC. The data file data.xml is located
in the directory /usr/local/etc .
To add or delete a Ground Station to the system (changing configuration), a user with supervisor per-
mission can perform that via the MTSC application (see section 4.3).
On an LCMS, where no MTSC is installed, the TSC is using its own gs_list.conf file. This file is located
in the directory /usr/local/etc . The file defines the available Ground Stations, how they can be
accessed, and their names. By default, the first Ground Station of the list will be connected.
