- CONSORCE CODE AND LOGGING PROGRAM
-
-
- GETTING STARTED
- 1. Turn on your printer if you are going to print out the log.
-
- 2. Insert the program disk in drive A. It is recommended
- that the program disk contain the autoexec.bat file to cause
- the proper prompts to appear for date and time
-
- If you wish to have the logs and messages on a second
- diskette then insert that diskette in drive B.
-
- 3. If the system power is off turn it on and if not hit CTRL
- ALT DEL keys to reboot the system
-
- 4. When the prompts appear answer the date and time prompts
- asin normal DOS load. Be sure to enter these if you wish to
- havethe log correct. The next prompt is for the filename of the
- logfile.
-
-
- Following that is the filename for the print file and then
- the filename for the message file. The logfile must exist or must
- be created after the program starts and before any other
- function that would use it.
-
- 5. At this time a screen will come up and display the
- program name and version. Hit the enter key and you are ready to
- go.
-
-
- FORMAT OF THE SCREEN
- The screen is divided as follows:
-
- Lines 1 through 10 are the transmit buffer. All
- characters entered in this area are transmitted out using the
- current code type. At this time only morse is implemented.
-
- Lines 11 through 20 are for the receive buffer. No
- receive functions are implemented at this time.
-
- Lines 21 through 23 show function keys and current status of
- the program.
-
- Line 24 is used for entering certain data to the program such
- asthe speed, received log data , etc. This will be explained
- inthe section on operating the program.

-
- FUNCTION KEYS
-
- Lines 20 and 21 are used to display the function keys.
- These keys change the values of status indicators or call
- certain functions as described below
-
- SF--------SHIFT AND A FUNCTION KEY. The following are pf keys
- but with the shift key also pressed.
-
- 1/CK------DUP CHECK. This key causes the binary tree of calls
- to be tested for the existance of the present ID.
-
- 2/ID------ENTER NEW ID. You will be prompted on line 24 for a
- new id to be entered. This id will automatically be
- checked for duplication.
-
- 3/RXD-----ENTER NEW RECEIVED DATA FOR THE LOG. You will be
- prompted on line 24 for new received data. This data
- will be put in the log and printed.
-
- 4/SN------ENTER NEW SERIAL NUMBER. You will be prompted on line
- 24 for a new serial number. This number is automatically
- updated each time a log entry is made with S/F10.
-
- 5/RPT-----REPEAT THE TRAMSMIT BUFFER SCREEN. The cursor returns
- to line 1 column 1 and transmit takes place if active.
-
- 10/LOG----ENTER DATA TO THE LOG. This key enters new data to the
- log and to the dup checking tree. It will not be
- entered if it is a duplicate call.
-
- A:--------ALT KEY. The following are alpha keys on the keyboard
- pressed at the sime time as the ALT key.
-
- A/AC------ASCII CODEB/IF------INITIALIZE FILE. This key is used
- to initialize a log file.
-
- C/BC------TOGGLES USE BAND AS PART OF CALL FOR DUP CHECK.
-
- E/GM------RETRIEVE MESSAGE FROM MESSAGE FILE
-
- G/GT------STORE MESSAGES TO BUFFER. This key changes the value of
- msg. When msg is TRUE KEYS F1-F10 STORE the transmit
- buffer first 256 characters to the message buffer and
- when FALSE the partition of F retrieves the message and puts it
- in the transmit buffer.
-
- K/LG------TOGGLES WRITING DATA TO LOG
-
- FILE. Changes logd.
-
- M/MC------MORSE CODE MODE.
-
- O/ON------TRANSMIT MODE ON/OFF TOGGLE. If TRUE the transmit
- screen buffer is transmitted else no transmit occurs.
-
- P/PT------PRINT LOG ENTRIES.
-
- R/RS------RESET. The screen is cleared and certain defaults are
- reset.
-
- S/SP------TRANSMISSION SPEED RESET. You will be prompted for the
- speed on line 24.
-
- T/TY------BAUDOT RADIOTELEPRINTER CODE MODE.
-
- W/BND-----ENTER THE BAND IN USE FOR THE LOG.
-
- X/XD------ENTER THE TRANSMIT DATA FOR THE LOG.
-
-
-
- STATUS INDICATORS
-
- The rest of line 21 and Lines 22 and 23 show the following
- status indicators:
-
- SP--------TRANSMISSION SPEED
-
- SN--------PRESENT VALUE OF THE SERIAL NUMBER. This can be
- manually set. It is incremented each time a new call
- is successfully entered in the log
-
- ON--------THE PRESENT STATE OF TRANSMISSION. TRUE indicates
- that data in the transmit screen will be sent.
-
- MG--------IF TRUE KEYS 1-10 ARE USED TO STORE A MESSAGE. FALSE
- AND KEYS F1-F10 ARE USED TO RETRIEVE A MESSAGE.
-
- CB--------TRUE AND THE BAND IS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE CALL DUP
- CHECKING. FALSE AND THE BAND IS NOT INCLUDED.
-
- RD--------TRUE AND RECEIVE DATA HAS BEEN ENTERED SINCE THE LAST
- LOG ENTRY. This must be TRUE before log entry SF10) is allowed.
-
- PT--------PRINT LOG ENTRIES IF TRUE.
-
- ID--------LATEST CALL ENTERED.
-
- LD--------TRUE AND LOG functions active. FALSE and no log
- functions are active including DUPCHECK.
-
-
- LOG DATA STATUS LINE
-
- The line 23 is used to display important log data to keep it
- in view even if you wish to make changes. For example RECEIVED
- DATA may change because of a receive error or a change by the
- other station.
-
-
- SN--------PRESENT VALUE OF THE SERIAL NUMBER WHICH IS
- UPDATED WHENEVER A SUCCESSFUL LOG ENTRY IS MADE.
