4.0C has wrong radio Device numbers?

Post by rprovideo »

OKay, I may be really dumb here, but I think there is either a major problem with Devices or with Config.

According to the manual, Device numbers are:
COM1: Device 8
COM2: Device 18
NAV1: Device 9
NAV2: Device 19
etc
and this is how config sets them up, too

I found my COM/NAV/ADF/ATC unresponsive. Then i looked in the ssi file and found:
Var 0635, name D_AC_COM1, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 32, Digit 1, Numbers 5 // COM1
Device 32 is NOT COM1, but the second Master card, for Pedestal, I believe...?

The Config says its version 3.3. I am using the sw package from 150510.
I am back to 4.0 for now, even that it has the no refresh problem in the active window, described by another user.

Thanks

I spent some time looking at this..lokks to me like the 4.40C is set up for one big MAster panel (with device 32) running the whole pedestal. I suppose this is for the complete OC IDC solution..
can I replace the whole NAV/COM area in 4.40C with the 4.0 lines? or shall I not use 4.40C at all?

thanks

The OCP4NGX_v4.4OC.ssi script is as you said, using an IDX 32 for the PEDESTAL modules ( COM, NAV etc).

The script code for COMs and NAVs should be the same in all scripts, I think. ( I really do not remember and haven't checked now)

The only difference is the IDX number.

okay I have started to manually change IDX and I/O header numbers (as the master card has more I/Os the header numbers change too)

IMPORTANT to whoever does this also:
you can copy paste most of the lines, but
since there are now two ADF in 4.40C (hurray) you have to manually add device 20 and its corresponding new lines
after Var 0733 there are 6 vars that are new 7728-7733 fror ADF2
after Var 739 the numbers change!! you cannot copy and paste anymore!
