IntroductionThe RADSCOM program supplied with the AVA is designed to provide support functions for proper andeffective operation of the AVA system, including two principle roles of loading and unloading aircraft data orsetup files to and from the AVA CADU.a. Loading Aircraft Setup Files (scripts) or Historical (backup) Data from a Personal Computer (PC)These operations are performed when new or updated aircraft script files become available, or after theCADU database has been rebuilt. The aircraft specific script file is required to be resident in the AVACADU prior to any measurement on the intended aircraft. For detailed instructions on this procedure, referto sections 4 and 6.b. Backup Aircraft Data from the CADU to the PCThe backup operation is usually performed when the CADU internal memory space is filled and the userwants to make new measurements, or when measured data needs to be transferred to another system oraviation facility. Using these instructions, the user can store the data from the CADU onto the PC. Thenthe data can be deleted from the CADU to obtain more memory space for subsequent measurements, ifdesired. For detailed instructions on this procedure, refer to section 5.2. Installing or Updating RADSCOM on the PCThe following paragraphs provide instructions on configuring the IBM PC/AT (or IBM compatible) for using theRADSCOM program.a. Hardware RequirementsThe RADSCOM package assumes the operator is using an IBM PC or compatible computer and MicrosoftWindows™ 95/98. The computer must also have an available RS-232 serial port. The communicationpackage assumes that the serial port is configured as COM1 and will automatically set the baud rate, stopbits and parity to be compatible with the AVA. If the computer’s RS-232 port is configured as COM2, usethe RADSCOM selection menu "Set Serial Port To Use (default=1)" to set the serial port to the correct COMnumber, by entering the number "2", when prompted.b. Installing RADSCOM Program on a Hard Drive from Floppy DiskNOTEThe following steps are required for initial installation ofRADSCOM onto the hard drive of the PC, or if theversion of RADSCOM on the hard drive is beingreplaced.(1) To install or update the RADSCOM or aircraft configuration disks on a PC, insert the RADSCOMprogram disk into the disk drive.(2) On the PC, select “Start”, “Programs”, and then click on “MS-DOS Prompt”.(3) On the PC, change the current directory to the letter of the disk drive (A:, B:, etc.), type "RCOM", andpress the <RETURN> key. The RADSCOM Initial Menu, figure 1, will appear on the PC display screen.(4) On the PC, press the down arrow to move the highlight bar over the selection “Maintenance Utilities”and press the <RETURN> key. The Maintenance Utilities menu will appear, see figure 2.(5) On the PC, ensure the highlight bar is over the selection “Install RADSCOM on a Disk” and press the<RETURN> key. An old RADSCOM directory on hard disk may be deleted prior to installing a newone. This is accomplished by responding with a "Y" to the question on the display. This is therecommended method, unless the old directory contains stored data or custom files.
