    The platform provides support for TCP and UDP packets. The default IP address, shipped with each system, is 10.0.3.254. The IFDR supports jumbo packets. Vaisala recommends the UDP packet sizes be set to 8192 on the host computer. To comply with industry standards, use a shielded CAT5e cable (certified to 350 MHz), with shielded RJ45 plugs on each end.

    AlmaLinux operating system. Using public APIs, researchers and OEM manufacturers can modify or replace existing algorithms, or write their own software using the RVP10 software as a foundation. To support software upgrades, RVP10SRV can flash IFDR10 software. The RDA version can be updated in the field with minimal risk.

    3.3.4 RVP10SRV socket protocol The socket interface supports the commands in appendix RVP10 programming interface. All messages going both ways consist at the lowest level of an 8-character decimal ASCII number, followed by a block of data. The decimal number indicates how many bytes follow.
  • Page 17 This data is written to RVP10. The data size should be even. Read Status Example: STAT| reads the status bits back from the RVP10. This is a 1-bit value, set to 1 if RVP10 has data available in its output buffer.
  • Page 18: Public Api

    To support writing your own signal processing algorithms for RVP10, the RVP10 software architecture enables you to statically link plug-in modules to the running code. The following table shows how the API supports adding software extensions to the RVP10 framework to modify some signal processing stages.
