1. Installation 2. Schedule file 3. Test running, please 4. Sounding mode 5. Beam sequence 6. Notes |
new Tiger Tasmanian Radar's code!!!, correct Sanae Radar's code!!!, new Kerguelen Radar's code!!!, and also new Kodiak Radar's code!!!.. |
to the previous version 1.00. This provides a way to reduce the amount of smr files. The rest part has no change except a fix in usage message. |
to the previous version 1.01. This provides a way not to change your default summary beams. The rest part has no change. |
Just a small change regarding -nosmrch and -smrsep options. The rest part has no change. |
You need at least QNX 4.24 or 4.25 for QNX OS to be Y2K compliant (The latest version is QNX 4.25C as of Jan.12, 2000), and you need Radops2000 version 4.10A to create SuperDARN Y2K data file names!!! **************************************************************************** |
Get BasyouhuC200002 ver.1.03 installation package from http://www.uap.nipr.ac.jp/SD/BasyouhuC200002/ (here!) The installation package file you should get is BasyouhuC200002.tar.gz (check if the size is 36164 bytes & cksum = 714108217 on QNX) (You can get this by clicking it durin pressing 'shift' key, hopefully...) (If you cannot get/save it, please try the following... Install packages to choose one.) Put it on your Radops QNX PC. (Be sure the file name shuold be "BasyouhuC200002.tar.gz" or "BasyouhuC200002.tar.F". If it's not so (e.g. BasyouhuC200002_tar.gz, BasyouhuC200002.tgz), rename it after transfering it to QNX...) (If you use older QNX (earlier than v4.24) whose "install" program does not support gzipped packages, first you should uncompress it by gunzip, and then freeze it by doing "freeze -v BasyouhuC200002.tar" to create "BasyouhuC200002.tar.F" before going ahead...) (Or you can get "BasyouhuC200002.tar" or "BasyouhuC200002.tar.F" directly from this web. Press "Install packages" above.) (If you don't have gzip/gunzip on QNX, you can get it from Quics! Press here to get "gzip.tar.F"!) Do the following on your Radops QNX PC. install -u BasyouhuC200002.tar.gz (If you get or create "BasyouhuC200002.tar.F", do instead like... install -u BasyouhuC200002.tar.F ) and follow the setup instruction to complete the installation process... (Julian, now you can install it in any directory you like...:-) This should work for Radops2000 version 4.01, 4,10 and 4.10A on QNX 4.22A, QNX 4.24, QNX 4.25/4.25A/4.25B/4.25C, I hope. *** CAUTION ***************************************************************** You need at least QNX 4.24 or 4.25 for QNX OS to be Y2K compliant, and you need Radops2000 version 4.10A to create SuperDARN Y2K data file names!!!! ***************************************************************************** If you encounter any problem, please let me know it as soon as possible. PS. You can also see source codes here on this web. BasyouhuC200002.c BasyouhuC200002.h makefile report2.c sync2.h ntp.h forbid_freq_check.h option2.h show.h freq_band.h pulse_code.h
2. Schedule file
Add the following entries to your schedule file for Feb., 2000 manually!
(We strongly recommend you use this file to create your schedule file!!!
to avoid any unexpected mistyping!!!)
(The same documentation as this is included in the installation package.
Its file name is "00Readme" found in the source directory where you install.
You can use it to create your schedule file
(and you can also aviod any unexpected mistyping!!!).

where... xxx : day-time start_freq/band (in kHz)
yyy : night-time start_freq/band (in kHz)
Please specify these 2 best frequencies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to get as much ionospheric echo as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Please avoid your restrict freq bands, of cource...)
(Default intt is 3 seconds.
If intt=4sec is much much better than intt=3sec to get much more echoes,
please don't hesitate to change it by '-it' option...)
*** a new feature in ver.1.01
If you want to reduce the amount of smr files, you can specify
'-smrsep smrsepsec' option.
'smrsepsec' is miminum separation in seconds bewteen the last
recording time and the next recording time for each smr beam.
(The default value is just 0(L)(second).)
E.g.
BasyouhuC200002 -df xxx -nf yyy -smrsep 60
if you want to record smr files only once per minute for each beam
to reduce the amount of smr files.
*** a new feature in ver.1.02
If you don't wanna change your default summary beams
(which are SMR_BEAM_A and SMR_BEAM_B defined in your
/radops/usr/include/default.h),
just specify '-nosmrch' command line option.
If you want sd_summary to record only 1 smr beam,
make sure that SMR_BEAM_A is the one you want,
and also SMR_BEAM_B is -1(not between 0 and 15).
(But if you specify this -nosmrch option,
-smrsep option did not work.
For both options to work simultaneously,
you should use version 1.03 (see next)).
*** a new feature in ver.1.03
Even if you specify -nosmrch option,
-smrsep option will also work now.
If you need more info, you can see the online usage of this RCP by doing
use BasyouhuC200002 (|more)
or read the source code or ask me...
3. Test running, please...
After reading the explanation of the sounding mode below, please run this RCP before the Feb. DT(Feb 11) if possible although only a few DT days left before them. Please test this RCP with the 2 options, -df and -nf at your radar site. (It's good enough for this RCP to run just for 10 to 15 min or so.) And please report any problem to me ASAP if any. Please make sure again that you specify '-df' and '-nf' options for your test run as describled above. You can see display task's display or 'errlog' file to check if intt is correct or not, and if beam sequence and freqency setting are correct or not. This RCP will output time/bmnum/start_freq/scan for each beam in errlog file ONLY IF you specify higher verbose level by '-v N' (N=2,3,4...) command line option to this RCP(default:N=1). Many thanks for your great efforts to check and run this RCP!!
4. Sounding mode
This BasyouhuC200002 is a modified version of Basyouhu scan which ran for our Special Time in Feb.,1998 and Jan. to Aug., 1999, and Jan.,2000 (and BasyouhuP200002 which will be run in Feb., 2000). (If any of you cannot perform intt=3 on your radar, let me know soon.) For most radars for most days, various Basyouhu scans will be made to get 2 high time resolution special camping beams data with optimized high time resolution global convection data simultaneously. intt=3sec,frang=180km,mpinc=2400,rsep=45km as usual, but no GPS synchronization. (If intt=4sec is much much better than intt=3sec to get much echoes, please don't hesitate to change it by -it option...) CP=5247 Detailed beam sequences for all the radars will be shown below...
5. Beam sequence
Each beam sequence for each radar is almost completely different
from ones for the other modes/radars.
I try to summarize all the sequences here...

* N : will (be able to) be treated as normal beams
* S : will (be able to) be treated as special beams
6. Notes
'vlptm' is now not good for any beam sequences which include camping beams.
This is because vlptm regards any beams with scan!=0 as start_beam
which means any special camping beam whose scan value is negative
will be regarded as a start_beam and which is meaningless.
If you change vlptm code a bit you might get much more proper vec files
for some of special programs including Basyouhu...
A line 277 in vlptm.c both in Radops2000 version 4.01 and version 4.10,
if (scan && (bmbak != -1)) { ....
shuold be modified to
if ((scan==1) && (bmbak != -1)) { ....
(or if ((scan>0) && (bmbak != -1)) { .... (this is my favorite...)).
I strongly recommend you to adopt this fix
to get proper vec files even when we do any other mode than normal_scan.
(before grid files officially become used for the ISTP KP data
or before next Radops is available.)
How do Mike and Rob think about this?
That's it.
Many thanks in advance!
Regards,
Sessai
