3. SAT SCD/ARGOS Configuration
The SAT SCD/ARGOS PTT must be configured before you deploy it. Two
numbers are used to track your data through the system. The first number is
your Program ID, the second number is your SCD/Argos ID. The PTT can use
up to 4 SCD numbers and up to 4 ARGOS ID numbers. You must have your
SCD/Argos ID numbers before you can configure your PTT. The SCD/Argos
ID number and transmission repetition rate is written to the SAT SCD/ARGOS
PTT during configuration.
3.1 SAT SCD/ARGOS Power Supply
During configuration, the PTT is powered through the SC532A. For a power
supply the SC532A uses a 12 volt DC wall regulator/transformer or a direct
connection to a 12 volt battery. The SC532A has an internal jumper. The
jumper changes the operational mode of the SC532A. In the “PROG” or
program mode, the SC532A will provide the interface between a computer and
the SAT SCD/ARGOS. The SC532 mode is used for storage modules. When
using the SC532A to configure the SAT SCD/ARGOS transmitter, configure
the jumper for “PROG”.
The SC532 will not work in place of the SC532A.
3.2 Pttcomm.exe
Included with each SAT SCD/ARGOS is a disk containing support software.
The information on the disk should be copied to a computer. Load the disk in
the disk drive and execute “Setup.exe”.
The computer must have a working RS 232 port. Pttcomm.exe is a 32 bit
windows-based program. Run Pttcomm.exe; use “File/Open” to open the
configuration file “SCD_Argos.cfg”.
Edit your SCD/Argos ID number, or numbers if you are using more than one.
By setting an ID number to zero, the buffer is turned off. All buffers not being
used should be set to zero.
Scroll down to “SCD Transmission Rep Rate” and “Argos Transmission Rep
Rate”. Enter the appropriate repetition rate for each field.
The Argos channel number and SCD2 channel number can be set to a value
between 0 and 10. Channel 5 is the center channel.
In most cases, “Transmission On Time” and “Transmission Off Time” will not
need to be changed. Transmission on time is the time the transmitter continues
to send bursts of data at the transmission repetition rates. Transmission off time
is the amount of time the PTT is shut down after the transmission on time has
been completed. Transmission on/off time starts when the PTT is powered up.
Transmission on and off time can be used to control the duty cycle of the
transmitter. The transmission off time is not synchronized with the time of day.
