Ucfdlog

Field day logging software

See also Logbook software

Goals

• Cross platform (java)
• KISS
  • only does logging, not sat tracking, rotor control, DSP, or digital modes; use other software for that
• networked
  • handles coordination of bands between stations
  • backs up data on all stations
  • prevents dups between stations
• smart dup handler
  • display potential dups on partial matches

Startup options

• load config from file
  • open file
• start new team
  • input team parameters
  • save to file
• join team on network
  • new network connection
  • save to file

Data structures

main

• club call
• class
• region
• password / synchronization keyword / packet magic number
• network config
• peer list
• self (peer)
• contact list

Behaviors

• configure
• activate network
• change band
• clear dup window / update dup window
• add contact

contact

• call
• band
• mode
• local operator or station (?)
• class
• region
• time
• unique (call, band, mode) or unique (call, band, mode, operator) ?

peer

• station name
• operator call
• current band / mode
• contact count originated
• current network address
• station type / function
  • participant(visible), observer(invisible?)
  • data logger (backup)
  • router (network repeater)
• last heartbeat received

network

Behaviors:

• synchronize contacts
• heartbeat
• broadcast (new) contact(s)
• update peers (callback?)
• add connection (GUI)
  • broadcast(port)
  • tcp connection (ip, port)
  • multicast(ip, port, more?)
• activate network from config
• goodbye packet

Data:

• connection list
• last heartbeat sent
• connection (from list) that sent most recent heartbeat
• synchronization action (tcp socket, partial data)

network connection

(polymorphic object)

• connection type (temporary or persistent)
• socket
• (connection type specific data in inherited class)

behaviors:

• destroy connection (and send goodbye packet)
• send contacts(contact list)
• send heartbeat
• (callback) receive heartbeat
• (callback) receive contact
