2. When prompted to Enter Corridor Count, enter the number of corridors that you have
on your system.
In the example that has been used in this appendix there would be four (33A, 33D,
15A, 15D). The maximum count supported by the simulator is 16.
3. Press ENTER.
The corridor names are displayed line-by-line. You can type arbitrary text to generate a
test message.
A sample session is shown below:
Enter Corridor Count [4]: 4
Enter Alert type for Corridor 0 (15-A)[ ]:
Enter Alert type for Corridor 1 (15-D)[ ]: MBA
Enter Alert type for Corridor 2 (33-A)[ ]:
Enter Alert type for Corridor 3 (33-D)[ ]:
Sending product to IRIS.
Enter Corridor Count [4]:
tdwr_sim sends a simulated TDWR product to IRIS, which is transmitted to each
ribbon display that is configured to show alerts for the selected corridor (in this case
15–D).
This causes the ribbon display to have a warning message as shown below.
4. To clear an alert, press the SPACE BAR to replace the warning with a blank line.
If no new message is sent to the ribbon displays for 150 seconds, the text NO DATA
AVAILABLE is shown on all ribbon displays.
5. To stop tdwr_sim, type CTRL+C.
