DBBC Setup for IVS

Open a VNC session to the DBBC you want to configure from the Applications menu on Ops2:

In C:\DBBC_CONF\ are several configuration files for different experiment types. The default configuration is kept in dbbc_config_file_v102.txt and this will be loaded when the server software is started.

Check to see if a program called DBBC Control net is running. If it's not running, start it. There's a link to it from the desktop. If the DBBC has had a power cycle or if there have been timing problems, or if you just want to be cautious, say “y” when asked if you want to use the default config. Configurations will take about 2 minutes.

If you did reconfigure the DBBC, synchronise the DBBC to the station pps with the following command from eRemoteControl

dbbc=pps_sync

The Field system will load the necessary configuration for the experiment later if the default is not correct.

Lastly, make sure the Client software is NOT running on the DBBC. The Field System can't connect to the server if another client is running. Look for DBBC Control net.exe running in a terminal window. If you find it, exit it.

Now all DBBC commands can be issued from the field system software or eRemoteControl. Any native DBBC command can be sent via these interfaces with a dbbc= prefix (such as the pps_sync command above). Many commonly used DBBC commands have been set up in the Field System so that they look like old Mark4 rack commands to make compatibility between different hardware systems easier. For example, the bbcNN commands in the dbbcsx8 procedure and the 'ifX commands in the ifdsx procedure. —- Just for reference, the configurations used for IVS are: * dbbc_config_file_102_geo.txt for R1 and R4 geodesy * dbbc_config_file_102_aust.txt for AUSTRAL sessions * dbbc_config_file_102_apsg_crf.txt for APSG, CRDS and CRF geodesy * dbbc_config_file_102_T2_OHIG.txt for T2 and OHIG * dbbc_config_file_102_point.txt'' for pointing observations
