glmpcmbd.xml
glmpcall.xml
These scripts are used in conjunction with GLMPC Terminal for viewing glider positions
and specifying glider waypoints on a displayed map. Each time a glider comes to the
surface during a mission, these scripts transfer up to the latest 30 SBD files to the Dock
Server. Once transferred, they transfer the GLMPC created waypoint file (which
defaults to goto_l10.ma, but which can be renamed) to the glider and direct it to reread
this MA file and resume its mission.
NOTE: The
nondirect
scripts (eg.
glmpc.xml
) expect the device type to support Carrier
Detect – i.e., the glider is connected by a freewave transceiver or an iridium modem.
The
direct
scripts (ie.
glmpcdirect.xml
or
glmpcdirectall.xml
) should be used when
the device type is direct.
NOTE: Since the GLMPC created waypoint file can be renamed, glmpc scripts transfer
all files in the 'toglider' directory to the glider (when it surfaces) to ensure that any new
waypoint files are transferred. Consequently, the user should be aware that any other
files placed in the 'toglider' directory on the Dock Server machine will also be
transferred.
NOTE: These scripts assume that the mission glmpc.mi is running on the glider.
However, all files in the 'toglider' directory are also transferred when the script is first
started, independent of whether a mission is being run (as long as the glider is
connected). This ensures that the glider does not have to be running a mission to
receive the first waypoint file.
IridCallback.xml
This script minimizes iridium phone connect time when a glider is just drifting on the
water surface and in GliderDOS. It repeatedly directs the glider to callback in 30
minutes.
