Examples

DECINFO LIST

This entry lists all the current data monitor/decoder configurations. If no configuration file exists, one is initialized with the settings in the table in Chapter 2's Configuring the Data Monitors.

DECINFO ADD LOCAL DEC=FOUS67 TORNADO

This entry adds the decoders FOUS67 and TORNADO to the data monitor LOCAL.

DECINFO EDIT LOCAL TORNADO ACTIVE CONFIG=TORN.CFG "Tornado Warning Decoder

This entry activates the TORNADO decoder running under the data monitor LOCAL and attaches the label Tornado Warning Decoder. The configuration information for this decoder is in the TORN.CFG file.

DECINFO EDIT LOCAL FOUS67 ACTIVE "FOUS67 Decoder

This entry activates the FOUS67 decoder running under the data monitor LOCAL and attaches the label FOUS67 Decoder.

DECINFO EDIT LOCAL FOUS67 CONFIG=FOUS67.CFG

This entry changes the name of the configuration file for the FOUS67 decoder to FOUS67.CFG.

DECINFO SET LOCAL ACTIVE

This entry activates the data monitor LOCAL. The next time the STARTXCD program checks the data monitor, LOCAL is started.

DECINFO DEL DEC NGMMOS DM=DMMISC

This entry deletes the decoder NGMMOS from the data monitor DMMISC. To delete the decoder and also remove it from the Decoder section of the Status Display Window, complete the instructions below.

Logon to the workstation as user oper.
Run command xcdadmin stop from the oper xterm.
Run command ldmadmin stop from the oper xterm.
Exit any preexisting Status Display Window by closing the window.
Start a McIDAS-X session as user oper.
Run command LWU DEL DECOSTAT.DAT from the McIDAS-X session to delete the preexisting file that has the information for the statdisp program.
Run command DECINFO DEL DEC NGMMOS DM=DMMISC from the McIDAS-X session to delete the decoder NGMMOS from the data monitor DMMISC. (Note: If you want to make the decoder inactvie [rather than delete it entirely] and want it removed from the Status Display Window, run this command instead: DECINFO EDIT DMMISC NGMMOS INACTIVE.)
Run command EXIT from the McIDAS-X session to end it.
Run command ldmadmin start from the oper xterm.
Run command xcdadmin start from the oper xterm.
Run command xcdadmin statdisp from the oper xterm to open a Status Display Window. Note that NGMMOS is no longer listed in the Decoder section.
