NAME¶
rigd - Hamlib rig service daemon
SYNOPSIS¶
rpc.rigd [
OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION¶
The
rigd program is a
Hamlib rig daemon that handles RPC client
requests. This allows multiple user programs to share one radio. At this time
multiple radio support is not available (help needed!).
Keep in mind that
Hamlib is BETA level software. While a lot of backend
libraries lack complete rig support, the basic functions are usually well
supported. The API may change without publicized notice, while an advancement
of the minor version (e.g. 1.1.x to 1.2.x) indicates such a change.
Please report bugs and provide feedback at the e-mail address given in the
REPORTING BUGS section. Patches and code enhancements are also welcome.
OPTIONS¶
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
starting with two dashes (`-').
Here is a summary of the supported options:
- -m, --model=id
- Select radio model number. See rig model list (use 'rigctl -l').
NB: rigctl (or third party software) will use rig model 1901 when
using rigd.
- -r, --rig-file=device
- Use device as the file name of the port the radio is connected.
Often a serial port, but could be a USB to serial adapter. Typically
/dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyUSB0, etc.
- -p, --ptt-file=device
- Use device as the file name of the Push-To-Talk device using a
device file as described above.
- -d, --dcd-file=device
- Use device as the file name of the Data Carrier Detect device using
a device file as described above.
- -p, --ptt-type=type
- Use type of Push-To-Talk device. Supported types are RIG, DTR, RTS,
PARALLEL, NONE.
- -d, --dcd-type=type
- Use type of Data Carrier Detect device. Supported types are RIG,
DSR, CTS, CD, PARALLEL, NONE.
- -s, --serial-speed=baud
- Set serial speed to baud rate. Uses maximum serial speed from rig
backend capabilities as the default.
- -c, --civaddr=id
- Use id as the CI-V address to communicate with the rig. Only useful
for Icom rigs.
NB: the id is in decimal notation, unless prefixed by 0x, in
which case it is hexadecimal.
- -C, --set-conf=parm=val[,parm=val]*
- Set config parameter. e.g. stop_bits=2
Use -L option of rigctl for a list.
- -t, --prog=number
- Use number as the RPC program number. The default is
536871065.
- -v, --verbose
- Set verbose mode, cumulative (see DIAGNOSTICS below).
- -h, --help
- Show a summary of these options and exit.
- -V, --version
- Show the version of rigd and exit.
Please note that the backend for the radio to be controlled, or the radio itself
may not support some commands. In that case, the operation will fail with a
Hamlib error code.
EXAMPLES¶
Start
rigd as root for a Yaesu FT-920 using a USB to serial adapter and
backgrounding:
# rpc.rigd -m 114 -r /dev/ttyUSB1 &
Start
rigd as root for a Yaesu FT-920 using COM1 while generating TRACE
output:
# rpc.rigd -m 114 -r /dev/ttyS0 -vvvvv
Start
rigd as root for a Yaesu FT-920 using a USB to serial adapter while
setting baud rate and stop bits and backgrounding:
# rpc.rigd -m 114 -r /dev/ttyUSB1 -s 4800 -C stop_bits=2 &
DIAGNOSTICS¶
The
-v,
--version option allows different levels of diagnostics to
be output to
stderr and correspond to -v for BUG, -vv for ERR, -vvv for
WARN, -vvvv for VERBOSE, or -vvvvv for TRACE.
A given verbose level is useful for providing needed debugging information to
the email address below. For example, TRACE output shows all of the values
sent to and received from the radio which is very useful for radio backend
library development and may be requested by the developers.
SECURITY¶
No authentication whatsoever; could be done through domain restriction, though.
Please ask if stronger security is needed.
BUGS¶
Does not support more than one rig that share the same serial port (e.g. Icom
radios on a CI-V bus).
Does not support more than one communication device for multiple rig control.
(e.g. for Single Operator 2 Radio) Help needed!
