2.1.1. General
Configuration programs bc635PCIcfg.exe, bc637PCIcfg.exe and a System Clock Utility Tray-
Time.exe are included with the TFP module.
When installing the SW from the supplied CD as described in "1.2.5. Installation Under Windows "
on page 14, the installer will create a folder in 'program files' titled 'bc635PCI Configuration Software'
containing bc635PCIcfg.exe, TrayTime.exe, and bc635pciReadEvent.exe. The bc635PCIcfg
clock.exe icon is also copied to the system desktop.
When installing the SW, the installer will create a folder in 'program files' titled 'bc637PCI con-
figuration Software' containing bc635PCIcfg.exe, TrayTime.exe, and bc635pciReadEvent.exe. Icons
are copied to the system desktop.
The System Clock Utility, TrayTime.exe, (described later in this chapter) is a system tray utility that
queries the TFP and periodically sets the computer's system clock at a user-defined interval. The util-
ity may run either as a standard application or as a Windows Service.
The bc635PCIcfg.exe program allows the user to access the TFP card and demonstrates the card's
functionality. This program is designed to operate under Microsoft Windows XP/Vista. This utility
may be used to query current settings, modify settings, and retrieve or monitor data generated by the
card. This program requires the runtime driver to be available in order to operate. The background win-
dow of the program provides time, as well as information regarding the clock status, interrupt bit
status, and clock reference source type. A full menu system (described in the following paragraphs)
has been designed to provide access to the card. Each associated pull-down menu provides a logical
grouping of commands. Most of the pull-down menus also include a Current Settings selection that
provides a review of the logical group.
The bc637cfg.exe program allows the user to access the GPS functions of the bc637PCI-V2 and
bc637PCIe TFPs.
2.1.2. Quickstart Guide to Operating bc635PCIcfg.exe
Click on the desktop icon to execute the program bc635PCIcfg.exe that is an interface program for
both the bc635 and bc637 cards. The bc637 may be set to GPS mode, and will initially display time
based on the Real Time Clock until GPS lock is achieved. The bc637 unit is locked to GPS, and
decoding time when the tracking LED in the GUI left-hand corner is green. The bc635 may be set to
decode a time code. For testing, you may set the board time manually using the Time menu and
selecting Set Time.
