The first time I received telemetry from DOVE satellite I used a simple
terminal program to store data into an Ascii file and then I decoded them
with existing software. Usually this software showed last data received in
the last passage. This was quite interesting but I thought of a program
able to analyse the evolution of the data.
Then I create a simple but very nice program that show the last frame and
also each channel from the first frame to the last, stored into a text file.
Every time that I take a new frame from the Dove I append data to this file.
Unzip the DUVTLM.ZIP file into a directory called i.e. \DOVE.
You must have the following files for the correct use:
DUVTLM.EXE The executable file
DUVTLM.DOC This file
DOVETLM.DBF The values for each channel (do NOT change them!)
DUVTLM.ITA Document in Italian language
DOVE1.TXT Example 1 of data received
DOVE2.TXT Example 2 of data received
DOVE3.TXT Example 3 of data received
Well, run the program from the DOS prompt. After the program logo you'll
be able to write the name of the text file to be decoded. Try with the
examples supplied in the Zip file, so write DOVE1.TXT
If the program doesn't find the file it will appear a message.
If the file is found, the data are imported into a temporary DBF file
and then last frame will be showed on the screen. You'll see the last
Uptime, up in the video and then all the data decoded (usually from 00 to
38 hex) with the description of the channel, the value and the unit.
Now the nice part of this program.
Lower in the screen you'll see a question:
Trace what data (00-38) or AL (all) or QU (quit) ?
You now can see all the frames for each channel choosing the right one;
input a value (in hex) as for example 22 (BCR Set Point) to see the changes
of this value in all your stored frames. To see all channel just write
AL (for ALL), to quit the program write QU.
For each channel you'll see all the frames with the Uptime, the day and the
time of the reception (n/a=not available), the value and the variation between
every value. If you have a long story file data must exceed the page: press
a key for the next page. When a channel is completely analysed you can press
Q to back to the first screen, the last frame decoded.
If you decide to print the screens just press the PrtScr key on the keyboard.
That's all. The program is writtem using Clipper 5.2 I'm not a professional
programmer so excuse me for any bugs but please inform me for any problems
and/or suggestions for the next releases.
You can free distribute this program without modify the files. This software
is FREE, anyway if you found this program useful you can send any form of
contribution for the life of my FREE BBS devoted to HAM/SWL/Space.
Thanks for your support.
