Operation with the GOES Radio 16-31

16.6 GOES Radio Setup Example

The following example assumes that NOAA assigned the following settings for the application.

DCP Address = ABCD1234
ST Channel # = 56
ST Rate

= 1 hour

ST Offset

= 00:37:40

ST Baud Rate = 300
ST Window = 10 seconds
RR Channel # = 100

The options would be setup as follows:

GOES Mode:

[Timed ]

GOES Time:

[00:11:22]

(set as needed)

DCP Adrs:

[ABCD1234]

GOES ST CHNL:

[056]

ST Rate:

[01:00:00]

ST Offset:

[00:37:40]

ST Baud Rate

[ 300]

ST Window

Also assume that the logging interval is set to 15 minutes.

Note that with a 15-minute scan interval and a 1 hour transmission rate, there will be 4 scans for
every GOES transmission. Since the “Extra Data Sets” option is set to 01, then there will be 4
new scans plus 4 old scans transmitted. The latter 4 are redundant and should have been
transmitted as the 4 new scans in the previous transmission.

There are three values being sent in a SHEF (ASCII) format and each value is formatted for 5
bytes. There is also a space between data values and a carriage return and line feed for every
line. In this case 4 more bytes per line, two spaces, the carriage return and the line feed, for a
