SECTION 3 OPERATION
Operation of the radio is accomplished by utilizing a special software
program to configure has radio for the proper configuration and than
connecting the system into the target platform for audio data transmission and
reception.
The following sections describe the radio operations from the perspective
of configuring the unit for the proper radio channel characteristics prior to
final system installation.
3.1 Minimum System Requirements
This package requires a PC executing under the windows operating system. The
version of Windows may be Windows 95, windows 98, or Windows 2000. At a
minimum, the system should include:
o 16 Mb RAM (32 Mb recommended)
0 Color monitor (minimum of 600x800 pixel resolution)
0 2 Mb available hard—drive disk space
0 Serial port (COMl: through COM4:)
0 . 3 1/2 “ floppy disk drive
3.2 Software Installation
The control software for the radio is provided on a set of 3 1/2” floppy
disks. The first disk of the set will contain the program “setup.exe".
Executing this program activates a standard windows software installation
process with full instructions as to required user actions. The installation
will create the program “str1600.exe" in the specified install directory.
3.3 Conventions and File Structures
The radio control software supports standard Windows type operation,
including menu based selection processes. Throughout the remaining portions
of this document, a reference such as “select aaaa : bbbb” indicates a Windows
type menu selection process where aaaa is the text name which appears at the
top of the active program screen and bbbb is the submenu item displayed once
the ease menu is selected. Further submenu items are preceded by the same .-
and then the text name of the lower submenu item.
In addition to the STR1600.exe program, the install directory will also
contain the file “prefs.cfg” after the first execution of the program. This
file is utilized to record user settings (e.g., communications port selection)
such that these configurable items can be carried forward across executions of
the program.
The radio control program utilizes Labview, a; software package from
National Instruments. The install directory also contains other support files
associated with the run—time version capability required of Labview for the
control program.

3 . 4 Getting started
3 . 4 . 1 Radio Int-rconnect
Before taking any actions from the control program with TACTICAL radio, the
radio must be connected to a primary power source and to the PC via a special
programing interface cable and adapter. The following figure depicts the
required interconnects.

Cable
FIGURE 3-1 RADIO To PC INTERCONNECT CONFIGURATION
The 13.6 VDC power supply need only support the radio operation in a quiescent
mode (i.e., < 0.7 A). The power up sequence of the radio versus the PC is not
critical.
The interconnect from the radio to the PC is via an interface cable and
adapter provided with the software (SRI P/N 50—STR1600—200). The cable
consists of a DB9 female connection on one end and an RG45 male connector on
the other end. The D59 end should be plugged into any standard serial
communications port on the PC. DB9 to D525 adapters may be utilized as
required.
The interface adapter accepts the RG45 connection on one side and interfaces
with the STR-1600 female DB-25 front panel connector on the other. The
adapter also includes an LED and a momentary push button switch on the sides
of the plastic housing.
3.4.2 Power-on Sequence
Once the above configuration has been established, the primary power supply
and PC should be powered on and initialized. when the primary power is
activated to the radio . the LED on the side of the programming interface
adapter should illuminate. This indicates that the radio has successfully
powered up in an “ON” condition.
11
If the LED fails to illuminate within two (2) seconds, the user should attempt
to establish an “ON” condition by momentarily activating the push button on
the side of the programing interface adapter and then releasing it. If a
radio has been inadvertently left in an “OFF” condition, this will toggle the
state, which should then illuminate the LED‘ If this action fails to correct
the problem, the user should validate the primary power connection to the
radio and then attempt the “0N”/”0FF” toggle switch again.
3 .4 t 3 Reading the Radio Configuration
Assuming the above process is successful, the user can proceed to activate the
STRlGOO.exe program. This will result in the following sample screen on the
PC's monitor.
r/quR
FIGURE 3—2 CONTROL SOFTWARE INITIAL SCREEN
If this is the first time the program is being utilized or if the operator has
changed the PC’s serial communications port being utilized, the first action
taken by the user should be to establish the correct port selection. This can
be accomplished by selecting Com Port : OOM1:, Com Port : COMZ:, Comm Port :
comm, or Port : COM4:. The port selection will immediately be changed
and the new configuration will be recorded to disk for future executions of
the program
After this action, the user may select Radio : Read Radio. This will cause
the software to interrogate the interconnected radio and then update the
displayed fields. The Serial Number field should reflect the five (5) digit
serial number from the product label on the radio r. gThe model number will
indicate the specific model of the radio and the low and high frequency values
will indicate the valid operational frequency range of this particular model.
The right hand side of the screen indicates the current settings for the eight
(8) preset channel selections of the radio. This includes the channel
12
frequency, bandwidth (i,e., wideband at 25 KHz or narrowband at 12.5 KHz) and
output power level (i.e., 5 Watts or 30 Watts).
3.5 Altering the Radio Configuration
3.5.1 Changing Individual Channel fittings
Once a radio has been read as described above, the channel configuration
fields on the right hand side of the screen may be edited. The frequency
field may be changed via standard text edit methods, or it may be incremented
or decremented via the arrows located at the side of each setting. The
bandwidth and power selections are toggle controls which flip states each time
the user selects the button.
After establishing the changes to all channel settings, the user should select
Radio : Write Radio. The system will again interrogate the radio as to it’s
current settings, modify the channel configurations according to the edited
fields, and then write the new configuration back to the radio.
By interrogating the radio again prior to modifying it’s settings, the
software insures the correct configuration update even if a new radio has been
connected to the PC since the last read radio action. As such, a user may
establish a channel configuration and then write the data to multiple radios
simply by connecting a new radio to the PC and invoking Radio : Write Radio,
The fields on the left hand side of the screen will be updated each time this
action is taken‘
The software does not preclude the operator from establishing invalid
configuration settings, but it does prevent these settings from being written
to the radio. As such, an operator may edit a channel frequency field to
values outside of the indicated range for the current model, but it will
notify the user of the error and abort writing the configuration after the
Radio : Write Radio action is taken. Similarly, channel frequencies not
centered on 25 KHz steps for wideband or 12.5 KHz steps for narrowband will be
cause an abort of the configuration update.
3. 5.2 Setting/ Changing Modal Defaults
The radio control software supports user default settings for each of the
six(6) model types. An operator may establish settings for the eight (8)
channels pertaining to frequency, bandwidth, and output power levels and then
store these as the default settings for that model type. This information is
stored on disk and, as such, the settings will carry across executions of the
control program,
To establish a particular model default, the user must connect a radio of that
model type to the PC. Selecting Radio : Read Radio will update the display to
the information appropriate for that model of radio. The user then may change
the frequency, bandwidth, and power level settings that should be utilized for
the defaults. After carefully checking the configuration, the operator should
select File : Save Current Settings as Default for this Model. After
interrogating the user as to the validity of this action, the system will
replace the previous default settings with the new configuration Each model
type only supports a single default configuration.
13
After having established the desired defaults, any radio can be updated to the
defaults simply by connecting it to the PO and then taking the single action
of selecting Radio : Writ. from Default Settings for this Model. This action
will cause the software to interrogate the radio, determine the model type,
and then write the sppropriat‘éy default settings: for the channel
configurations. At the same time, the display will be updated to reflect the
new information for the radio‘
3 . 6 Radio Ops-ration
Having established the proper channel configuration for the radio, the radio
is now ready for target platform installation. The following operational
considerations should be noted:
1) Radios which are powered up with an active push- to-talk condition will
not operate until the push— —to-talk is removed and stay’ 5 in a non—active
condition for a period of 2 seconds.
2) On initial power up or on any change of the frequency select lines into
the radio, the target frequency setting may take up to 1 second to
obtain.
3) If push—to~talk is active at any time during the 1 second tuning period
outlined in note 2 above, the tuning action will not complete until
push-to—talk is removed and stay’s in a non-active condition for a
period of 2 seconds.
14
SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE
In order to ensure that the radio system is always ready for operation, it
should be checked periodically so that potential defects my be discovered and
corrected before they develop into any serious damage or system failure. A
minimal preventive maintenance program will significantly increase the systems
life span‘
This section describes the necessary preventive maintenance checks and tests
the user can perform to easily identify most defects and problems. Any other
defects or problems discovered during the normal operation of the system
should be noted for future corrective measures.
CAUTION
Stop the operation of the system immediately
if a problem is noted during normal operation,
that can otherwise damage the system.
This section also describes the corrective maintenance checks that can be
performed on the radio system.
4 . 1 Maintenance Concept
The maintenance concept for the radio system is limited to the removal and
replacement of the entire unit.
4.2 Preventive Maintenance Requirements
The following is a recommended timetable for performing preventive maintenance
checks on the radio.
CAUTION
Primary power to the radio must be turned OFF when
performing preventive maintenance on the equipment.
4 . 2 . 1 Inspection
The radio system should be inspected periodically for defects or physical
damage developed during operation. Inspect all the interface cables to and
from the system for cracks, breaks and proper seating with their mating
connectors on the card. Inspect all cables for frayed, broken or damaged
wires. In addition, inspect all-radio connections for accumulation of
dirt, grease, or any foreign material that can cause a non—connection. If a
cable is found damaged or non-repairable, it should be replaced before
operating the system again.
