Properties

Listing properties which are read by an HCSS application

The Configuration class can issue log message to list properties read by the application. Those log messages must be enabled by adding the line

herschel.share.util.Configuration.level=FINER

to the logging configuration file which default filename is ${HOME}/.hcss/userlogging.properties

To filter the property access message a "grep" command can be used, for example

cus -listdefs | & grep "FINER: property"

MIB to PIB conversion

This example shows how I converted the EGSE MIB into a PIB :

mkdir /home/ewieprec/tmpmib

cp -r /home/ewieprec/tmp2/tmp/PACS-MIB/FM_0.1 /home/ewieprec/tmpmib

cp /home/ewieprec/cvs-pcss-src/pacs/mib/egse/*.dat  /home/ewieprec/tmpmib/FM_0.1/ascii-tables

// Due to a bug I needed to edit /home/ewieprec/cvs-hcss-src/develop/main/herschel/binstruct/TmVersion.java
// and uncomment the first //_telemetryDefinitionsLoaded = true;  // FIXME: for generating PIBs from
// jake it
// Only for this conversion !!!!

mib2pib -sourcedir /home/ewieprec/tmpmib -outputdir /home/ewieprec/tmpmib -pibversion FM_0.1 -mibversion FM_0.1 -debug ascii

cp /home/ewieprec/tmpmib/FM_0.1/* /home/ewieprec/pcss/data/pib/FM_0.1  

// Remove the bug fix in TmVersion.java

Now test in PCSS

Checking for jumps in the source sequence count of TM packets

Use the TmPacketDumper tool to get a dump of the header of the TM packets, retrieved either form the router or an packet file. The following "gawk" script checks for source sequence counter jumps and will dump the previous line of the TmPacketDumper output (for this APID!) and the current line.

TmPacketDumper -f test3.tm | gawk '{if (c[$4] !=$6 && o[$4]!="") { print o[$4] "\n" $0 "\n" }; if ($6 != 16383) c[$4]=$6+1; else c[$4]=0; o[$4]=$0 }'
