GPSSK User's Guide (TAIP)
D.2 TAIP.C Source File
The sample source code for encoding and decoding TAIP messages is provided as a guide
for the system integrator who is developing a communications controller that handles
TAIP. There is no warranty of any kind on this software. Use it at your own risk.
The distribution diskette is not copy protected. Before using GPSSK or installing on your
hard disk, make a working copy and put the original diskette in a safe place. During
normal use, GPSSK will save configuration information to the diskette or current
directory. Storing the original diskette away will allow you to restore the original
configuration should you encounter problems.
Copy the files GPSSK.EXE and GPSSK.HLP to a hard disk directory.
D.3 GPSSK Start-up
At the DOS prompt in the directory containing GPSSK, enter the command:
GPSSK
When the program is finished loading into memory, the GPSSK title page will be
displayed. The program will then wait for 10 seconds to begin normal execution; you may
bypass the 10 second wait by pressing any key after the title page is displayed.
The function key menu will be displayed on the bottom of the screen. GPSSK is structured
as a hierarchy of menus. The function keys control access to the menus.
To terminate GPSSK, simply back out of the menu structure by pressing [F9] until
GPSSK prompts you to confirm your desire to exit the program.
At start-up, GPSSK will attempt to initialize itself by querying the sensor for some basic
information. If you wish to abort the sensor initialization process and use GPSSK to replay
stored data, enter [Ctrl] + [X] (hold down the control key and press x). If initialization has
been aborted, you must restart GPSSK when you wish to communicate with the sensor.
D.4 On-line Help
Once GPSSK is running, on-line help is available to assist in performing all the GPSSK
operations. Help is context sensitive and will display information regarding the current
display or menu. A brief overview of GPSSK is available in the main menu's help screen.
There are several command line options available. For help with command line options,
run GPSSK with the /HELP argument:
GPSSK /HELP
The help available on the GPSSK main menu will explain menu operation and the menu
hierarchy.
