|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | The propagation modules VOACAPW.EXE, ICEPACW.EXE, or REC533W.EXE cannot be | | executed individually unless you have created the proper formated data input | | file. You can execute: | | POINTWIN.EXE (point-to-point interface) | | AREAWIN.EXE (area coverage interface) | | SI_WIN.EXE (signal-to-interference interface) | | AREAINV.EXE (inverse area coverage interface) | | HFANTWIN.EXE (antenna interface) | | individually from this directory. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | If you create your own input files in the proper formats, you can use the | | examples below as to how to execute the various propagation modules. | | The examples below are given for VOACAP. To make it run for ICEPAC or | | REC533, just substitute the desired model for VOACAP | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Execute with: | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory inputfile outputfile (P-P circuit) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory inputfile outputfile (P-P graph) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory VOACAPD.DAT VOACAPD.OUT (P-P distance) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory VOACAPT.DAT VOACAPT.OUT (P-P time) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory BATCH (P-P batch) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory BATCH deckname.dat (P-P NEW batch) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory BATCH deckname.dat nam.out (P-P NEW batch) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory AREA CALC VOAAREAW.CIR (AREA batch) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory AREA method pathname (AREA single) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory INV CALC VOAAREAW.CIR (AREA INVERSE batch) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory INV method pathname (AREA INVERSE single) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory CIRAF pathname (CIRAF single) | | where: | | [S] = SILENT, then no messages are written to output window | | [S] means either put in SILENT or nothing. | | directory = full pathname to the install directory (e.g. c:\ITSHFBC) | | method = (CALC/SCREEN/PRINT) | | pathname = pathname below directory\AREADATA\ of input data file | | (e.g. DEFAULT\DEFAULT.VOA) | | deckname.dat = a proper formated input "card" deck. | | | | The input and output files ifor point-to-point runs will be in the | | ..\RUN directory. ! | | | You will probably need to also include the full pathname to the EXE file. | | Thus, using the default installation directory, the P-P circuit would be: | | | | c:\itshfbc\bin_win\voacapw.exe c:\itshfbc voacapx.dat voacapx.out | | | | Note: Not all options will work for REC533 (e.g. distance, time, & INVERSE) | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | The only options you probably want to use are: | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory inputfile outputfile (P-P circuit) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory AREA method pathname (AREA single) | | VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory BATCH deckname.dat nam.out (P-P NEW batch) | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
