Guralp Systems Shout - Manual (Page 4)

3.2 Quitting Shout
Occasionally you may ask Shout to do something impossible (for example contacting a now disconnected
device). You can interrupt at any time by clicking on the applications button (which is the button on
the silkscreen which looks like a house or an arrow). Clicking on the applications button will cause
Shout to quit and will return you to the application launcher.
3.3 The devices form
Here Shout displays the system ids and serial numbers found in all
the blocks so far received. When it is known, the type of device is dis-
played next to the serial number.
Baud rate: Here you can adjust the baud rate Shout uses to
communicate with the attached devices (see the notes for slow Palm
Pilots in section 2.2.2 if you intend to use particularly high baud
rates).
Probe: Clicking on ‘Probe’ causes Shout to connect to and identify
the first attached device. ‘Probe’ is useful if you wish to contact
an attached device which isn’t sending out packets often.
Streams: Clicking on ‘Streams’ will take you to the streams form
(see section 3.6).
Start: Clicking on ‘Start’ will start recording received blocks to
a database in the Palm Pilot, appending them to any currently
stored blocks (see section 3.8).
Stop: Clicking on ‘Stop’ will stop the recording of received blocks.
Erase: Clicking on ‘Erase’ will erase any currently stored blocks.
Clicking on a system id causes Shout to query that device to determine what type of device it is
and then to launch the relevant configuration form for that type of device.
3.4 The DM configuration forms
Before any changes to the configuration can be made you must ‘Fetch’ the current configuration from
the DM. Do this by clicking on the ‘Fetch’ button. You can now modify configuration items in any of
the DM forms. After changing any of settings in the forms click on the ‘Apply’ button for that form,
which will cause the new settings to be downloaded to the DM and the DM to be rebooted. Once you
have finished with the form (or if you wish to exit the form without saving the changes to the DM)
click ‘Done’. It is not necessary to fetch the configuration if you only wish to use the ‘Mass’, ‘Lock’,
‘Unlock’, ‘Center’, ‘Gps’, ‘Macros’, or ‘Send Buffer’ functions.
