Road Surface Output Process
About the Road Surface Output Process
Note This process will not operate properly on a station configuration that uses
the decimal clock mode in its associated hardware interface file. For
proper operation, this process requires a station configuration that uses
a binary clock mode. For more information, see the MTS Series 793
Software Utility manual (part number 100-147-132).
The Road Surface Output process lets you drive a station with RPC III and
RPC Pro Road Surface files (files with extensions drv or seq)
Note The Road Surface Output process is optional. You must type a special
key code during installation to enable this process.
About Road Surface Files
A Road Surface file is a file that you create with RPC software. It consists of a
list of time history files and other Road Surface files. Each file can have a
different number of channels.
Creating road surface
files
A Road Surface file is created by the RPC RSURF program or RPC Pro. It lets
you enter up to 30 file names in one Road Surface file. The order in which files
are listed determines the order in which they are played out. For example, if files
A, B, and C are entered in the list in alphabetical order and each file has two
passes, the files are played out as follows:
A A B B C C
Pass 1 of each file
Pass 2 of each file
