Revision as of 15:05, 17 July 2020

This page is under construction; as such, the information presented herein is not complete: please do not rely of this documentation before it is completed. Thank you.

A table file contains all information necessary to run complex ICE signal process applications of many varieties and can be custom tailored for all of the ICE hardware platforms and modules.

Structure

SNAPSET

The required SNAPSET section provides the global defaults for the application. 

SNAPSET={
 ...
}

CONTROLS

Global (pulling out controls/widgets): CONTROLS={ 

 ADDR={}
 AFNAME={}

}


CASE

CASE_XXX={
  ...
}

CASE_YYY={
  SWITCHES=$CASE/SOME_SWITCH	! Inheritance from case above
}

Inheritance

CASE=<BASE CASE>

Miscellaneous

- Left hand side switches override right ones

- Good practice to use PIC<N>AUTO alias (obtained from ICE AUTO)

- The PIC card is divided between A and B sides, where the A side has 

 odd numbers and the B even.
 - A side: Module 1, odd numbered tuners on processor modules
 - B side: Module 2, even numbered tuners on processor modules

- Auto-start with ACTION=X, where X is the name or unique abbreviation 

 of the snapper button corresponding to the desired action, e.g.,
 ACTION=mon to bring up snapper and start monitoring

- V6Ms have Tuner Banks using onboard memory

Switches with SNAPAPP

- Switches with SnapApp 

nM> snapapp/use={CARD=PIC1AUTO,PORT=MODULE1}

Network Applications

Often the intended destination or source of data for the application is another machine over the network rather than the local disk.

(Flags is a Switch)

Streaming:

Examples
