Console Displays
Once the boot sequence has completed, the user will be able to access
different screens via the console keys. The console screens provide additional
data on the health of WhirlWind in its operations.
Figure - 20 <F1> Console
The next console (located with <F9>) screenshot provides critical data on the
GPS device that is being used. It is the application “cgps” which shows the
state of the data coming from the GPS daemon (“gpsd”). This application is
provided to simply check on the GPS data being provided from gpsd.
If, on this console (<F9>), you press the key “s” you toggle the “silent”
attribute on and off. The actual data lines from the gpsd will be scrolled
below this display when “on”. Another “s” will toggle the on/off to the other
state.
