SIMULATOR STRUCTURE
General Layout of Simulator Software
Transas simulators are build on personal computers (hosts) joined in one network
domain, controlled by domain controller. The simulator software is installed
on the simulator server (Trainer Server), which may be any computer included
in the simulator domain. The distribution of tasks among the simulators is referred
to as Tasks Configuration, which is created by using the Configuration Editor
and is saved on the Trainer Server. The simulator tasks are run by Router program
according to the specified Task Configuration. According to their functional purpose,
tasks are combined into two group types:
Stations for the visual and acoustic presentation of the virtual simulator space;
The simulator may have only one Root type group and up to 32 Bridge type groups.

3. Create UHS script and assign desirable profiles to the variables set in point 2.
Here is the example of how *.uhs file could look like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<uhi> <assign>left_channel =
"profile_name:channel_0"</assign> </uhi>
</root>
4. Add Universal Hardware Interface task to the configuration. Select parameter
Config and input path to appropriate config file for it.
Here is the example of how *.cfg file could look like:
; Sample of UHI link file
[Plugins]
NaviTrainer.UhiPluginMultiView=this
[HardwareGroups]
hwgroup.cfg
[Default]
mview.uhs
After these manipulations when session is started in the example above
visualization channels, having ChannelName=left_channel will change
profile to profile_name:channel_0.
Changing of Visualization Background
To change visualization background use one of the following ways:
Put the desired image file with *bmp or *tga extension to the
<NTPro>\Vis600\data\navitrainer\shaders\. Than open background.si file and rename
the parameter background.tga to the name of the desired image file.

ANNEX
UHI Hardware
For each particular case, the individual method of non-standard hardware
connection can be implemented. For detail connection diagram, refer
to the Installation Manual provided for your customized configuration.
All HW units of UHI set (except distribution box) are connected to CAN-bus. One end
of CAN-bus is connected to USB port of computer through Transas USB-CAN
converter. Bus terminator must be provided on the second end of CAN-bus. Each UHI
unit has special jumper (or dip switch) named CAN_Load for this purpose. This jumper
must be sorted (or dip switch turned ON) for last UHI unit on CAN-bus only.
UHI Software
NTPRO 5000 v. 5.30 UHI system allows:
To use Basic style syntax (old style) for scripting as well as XML syntax;
use different scripts individually for each ship model as well as for group of ships;
USB-CAN drivers;
131
USB-CAN Drivers
USB-CAN SW drivers should be installed on each computer (host) where UHI
hardware is connected to. USB-CAN SW drivers are located on NTPRO Installation
DVD in folder Hardware\EDM\CDM_Setup.exe.
Copy these modules to local disk of computer (for example, C:\UHI). Perform
following actions:
1. Install USB-CAN SW drivers.
2. Restart computer.
USB-CAN drivers work with USB port through virtual serial port (virtual COM port).
If USB-CAN converter will be plugged to an USB port different from initial one, then
a new number of virtual COM port will be assigned and USB-CAN Drivers
installation procedure can be requested again. In this case, the value of parameter
@Port of NTPRO UHI task should be modified to the new number (name) of virtual
COM port.
Port specifies number (name) of virtual serial port what USB port works
through (default value is COM1).
132
Calibration section provides calibration data for DAC and ADC units ports.
Calibration data sets the correspondence between the value of the NTPRO
variable and level of input or output signal in the UHI devices port;
HardwareGroups section defines the ship models grouping file which will be
used for this configuration;
Default section refers to script file (files) to be used for loaded ship model
if no individual or group section are defined for this ship model.
Rest of sections refers to script file (files) to be used for loaded ship model
individually or within ship group where loaded ship is included to. The ship model
GUID should be used as a section name in case of individual assignment. A group
name defined in Ship Models Grouping File should be used as a section name in
case of group assignment.
The following sample illustrates the using of these sections:
[SerialToAddress]
; Script_ID = Physical_ID
Unit#10 = 01000018
Unit#20 = 08000010
[Calibration]
; Set DAC output range
DAC(Unit#20,Port#1) = (255,255)
DAC(Unit#20,Port#3) = (64,64)
; Set DAC calibration
DAC12(Unit#20,Port#1) = (-100.00,8) (0, 2048) (100.00, 4090)
DAC12(Unit#20,Port#3) = (0,2150) (35.00,4096)
; Set ADC calibration
ADC(Unit#10,Port#1) = (45.00, 1455) (0.00,2048) (-45.00, 2630)
[HardwareGroups]

; Set script to be used for ships with such GUID only
MyTug.uhs
134
The data from *.clb file can be transferred to [Calibration] section of UHI
configuration file by using following sample:
.clb file
ADC(0x100001B,2) (-1.00,1047)
(0.00,2053) (1.00,3025)
ADC(Unit#10,Port#3) = (-1.00,1047)
(0.00,2053) (1.00,3025)
DAC12(0x8000012,0) (-100.00,8)
(0, 2048) (100.00, 4090) [255,255]
DAC(Unit#20,Port#1) = (255,255)
DAC12(Unit#20,Port#1) = (-100.00,8)
(0, 2048) (100.00, 4090)
Pay your attention that references to physical ID of UHI units are used in *.clb file.

Preliminary Operations
Before installing the MFD software, it is necessary to check that:
1. Each MFD installation is performed on a new clear OS.
2. The following equipment is installed on each MFD station:
Work station with installed video card on nVidia GeForce chipset (8800 GTX
or better).
Note:
If you use less powerful video card, you can choose START\MULTIFUNCTIONAL
DISPLAY\SYSTEM CONFIGURATION (transas password), then choose
WORKSTATION\ADDITIONAL SETTINGS, deselect D3D video acceleration adapter
check box and click Apply button.
Dongle.
3. You have:
Installation CD with Transas MFD. Version 2.00.12 build 2424 or higher;
Appropriate MFD licenses;
CD with Transas World Chart Folio corresponding to the license (optional).
4. All the MFD computers are excluded from the simulator domain
and are included in the MS Windows Workgroup.
5. The same user account with administrator rights is used on all the MFD
computers (commonly the Administrator user, transas password).
Note: During the exercise, system time on all the MFD workstations will be
changed for the exercise time. If there is large time difference between
the MFD workstations and the domain controller, the MFD stations will loose
their capability to exchange data (routes, charts, etc.) via the shared folders.
Besides, the simulator router will not be able to start NTPRO applications on
these stations. The problem can be solved by excluding MFD computers
from the simulator domain.

Preliminary Operations
Before installing the standalone Navi-Sailor 4000 and Navi-Radar 4000 software, it
is necessary to check that:
1. Each installation is performed on a new clear OS.
2. Domain password policy is set to allow creating users with minimum password
length of one character.
3. .NET Framework 3.5.30729.1 (available from the installation folder
Support\MS.NETFramework\3.5) is installed on every host supposed to have NS
or NR task assigned.
Add all the hosts expected to run Navi-Sailor 4000 and Navi-Radar 4000
software to the Configuration Editor Hosts Pane. NTPRO 5000 ver. 5.30 is
installed, together with all the areas.
Note: To install new version of the Standalone Navi-Sailor 4000/Navi-Radar 4000/
Navi-Planner 4000 software, remove the old version of the Standalone NaviSailor 4000/Navi-Radar 4000/Navi-Planner 4000 software manually via
Control Panel.
173
Main Notes
Each host should support only one of these tasks either NR 4000 or NS 4000,
even in ce of cross of multiple configurations over one host. So in case of
simultaneous installation of NS and NR on the same PC only one of the products will
be installed.
If the machine, used for NS 4000, will be require later to run NR 4000, NS 4000
should be deleted first by means of Control panel program tools. The same applies
to the situation of using NS on NR machine.
You should ensure that hosts to run NR 4000 have 16-bit color depth.
If the same host is used for running NS 4000 in different Roots, automatic restart of
the hosts may take place when running one configuration after other.
Purpose
The program is designed for tuning visualization projection systems for
the NTPRO simulator.
System Requirements
Sufficient screen resolution.
The basic ICM components are the following:
174
Control panel program for switching over profiles from the instructor.
General Correction Mode differs from the Advanced Correction Mode in that
there is a limitation on the geometry adjustment. In this mode, you can only use
four control points in the corners of the tuning grid. This limitation does not allow
distortions to be corrected if the image is projected onto a non-flat screen.
@ICM_AllowAdjustment:
0 the program operates in the General Correction mode;
1 the program operates in the Advance Correction mode.
Direction, Range;
@DeltaX,@DeltaY,@DeltaZ;
@Elevation,@HDeflection,@Vdeflection;
@Rotation these parameters are read when no profile is assigned for this
channel. In this case, the parameters determine visual settings of the channel.
175
Firewall Settings
When working with the Device List Editor program with FireWall on, correct
connection with the agents of the devices, running on other hosts using DCOM,
requires enabling in the FireWall settings the DevListEditor.exe application
and port 135 for TCP/IP connection, which is used by RPC service.
176
The left-hand part of the main program window contains a hierarchical structure
of devices divided into categories (see fig. above). The right-hand part houses
the property window for the device or a number of devices selected in the left-hand
panel. The top part of the program features a toolbar with command buttons,
while the bottom one runs the status bar showing status of the connection
with the selected device.
A right-click on the selected device allows you to choose a standard set of actions
related to the device (renaming, removal, turning ON/OFF, reconnection), as well
as the TUNE command used for calling a dialog box for the purpose of setting
properties related to the particular device type (see fig. below as an example
of setting properties for projector F3 by CompactDesign).
The program supports both the Multi-Selection (possibility to work with a whole
category of devices as with a single whole) and the Drag&Drop function.
Gate Host name of the computer running the agent performing direct
connection to the device. In this case, the name is chosen in the list of hosts
added to the configuration via the Configuration Editor;
Transport type of connection with the device (TCP/IP, RS232, etc.). Selection
of the correspond connection type is accompanied by appearance of a dialog
box containing properties of a representative type of connection;
177
All work with devices and groups of devices is carried out by the contextual menu
commands activated by the right click (see figure above).
178
nt_vis_adjust integer value describing the tag code for networking relevant
adjustment data. Default value is 3;
nt_vis_params integer value describing the tag code for networking relevant
adjustment data. Default value is 1;
179
Selection of the parameter for adjustment is made in the configuration tree window,
where after parameters for the selected channel are set up in the adjustment panels
in the centre. The top part of the panel specifies the current profile for adjustment.
In the bottom part, there is a set of service commands. All the service commands
are applicable to the currently selected group of channels.
The view control panel allows control of the view direction of the current channel
group. With Enable view control checked, the view angle is controlled with the aid
of the programs Course, Pitch and Roll controls. These parameters are not
saved anywhere, and after the checkbox is unchecked, control of the view angle
returns to the simulator.
The ICM Adjust flags panel allows cancelling application of the geometry, blend or
colour settings for the current group of channels.
The Draw test object panel allows the display of the test image for tuning.
With the checkbox checked on the current group of channels, the tuned object
is displayed. With the aid of settings, you can specify its geometry type: sphere
or vertical cylinder, filling method: coloured, black and white, carcass model
and the size of grid on the object (set in degrees). The object is displayed even
if the exercise is not loaded.
The Key Step numeric parameter determines the shift value of different adjustment
points when they are edited from the keyboard. Show grid and Show blend lines
checkboxes allow the display of the geometric grid and blend lines.
180
Editing Profile
A group of channels can be assigned with a tuning data file (profile). The editing
profile contains information on a set of visual tasks for the given group of channels,
relative positions of the channels, visual settings of each channel, information on
geometry, edge blending and colour adjustment. All the profiles should be stored
in the aforementioned directory. The profile extension should be *.icp.
When a group of channels is selected, a profile can be assigned. To create a new
profile, first select [none] in the combo box and then press Save as (see fig.
below). To create a copy of an existing profile, select profile and press Save as.
With the selection of tree items belonging to this group of channels, the field displays
the profile of the group in question, but its selection is impossible.
If a profile was prepared for another group of channels, or some changes have taken
place in the group of channel (visual tasks added or deleted), in the assignment
of a profile to the group of channels there may be an error in associating data stored
in the profile and visual tasks. In this case, data can be associated manually:
181
Editing of the edge is made in the dialogue box shown in figure above. Coloured
icons indicate the places where the channels have already been assigned, whereas
grey icons show the places where new channels can be assigned (see fig. below).
For this kind of assignment, press the right mouse button on the icon: the screen will
display a list of channels not yet in use, which can be assigned.
As the mouse is positioned on the assigned channel, the channel name is shown
as it is specified in the configurator. E.g., the figure above shows 22 arrangement
of channels. The right bottom channel is VisR2 channel run on AMI computer.
If you select editing of LeftBlend or TopBlend for this channel, the dialogue box
will also enable editing of RightBlend and BottomBlend of respective channels.
182
Type screen type (in this version, only the cylindrical screen is supported).
183
Geometry Adjustment
Geometry adjustment eliminates distortions occurring in the projection of an image
on non-flat surfaces (cylindrical, spherical, conical, etc. screens). To correct
the image, use the dialogue box shown in figure:
The grid is moved within the work area with the left mouse button pressed.
The grid scale can be changed by rotating the mouse scroll wheel. In this case,
the grid will be centered in the cursor position. Forward (away from) rotation will
decrease scale, whereas backward (toward) will increase scale.
Editing of control points can be made with either Drag&Drop procedure by using
the mouse (the currently edited point is shown in red, coordinates specified next
to it), or via the keyboard to switch to the mode of editing from the keyboard, make
a double click on the point of interest. In editing from the keyboard, the length
of position change step is determined by Key Step parameter in the bottom part
of the program window.
By using Control points parameters, you can set the number of control points
in the grid, whereas Grid size can be used for changing the number of points in
the resulting grid, horizontally and vertically. This parameter affects smoothness
of distortion correction, but its unnecessarily large values may slow down operation
of the visual system on the whole. Select this parameter so that each edge of the
resulting grid is accounted for by 3060 projector pixels.
Reset to defaults button returns all the parameters to their default values.
When editing the geometry adjustment, it is necessary to display a Draw test
object on the screen. The geometry adjustment is normally reduced to achieving a
result whereby the projection of the draw test object on the screen looks satisfactory.
184
The geometry adjustment cannot be continued until a press on the Reset to Generic
button which will return to the default the settings for the channel in question.
If an attempt is made to copy the data containing a larger number of control points
to such channel, the program will warn, as shown at in fig. below, that such
operation cannot be performed.
To adjust the edge blending, select a zone: left-hand, right-hand, top or bottom
zone. To handle two adjacent channels simultaneously, select two channels in
the Channels placement dialogue box. Otherwise, the dialogue box will only allow
editing of the given channel zones.
185
In the editing of the vertical (horizontal) overlap zone, it is possible to move and
zoom data within the work area, as well as to edit control points of blend lines
in much the same way as in the geometry adjustment dialogue box.
Edges adjustments are defined by a two vertical (or horizontal) blend lines:
Line 2 (blue) define the position of the zero points (0) black level
of the projector matrix.
The number of Line 1 and Line 2 control points can be edited in the (1) pnts
and (0) pnts fields respectively.
Blend Rows sets the level of sub-division relative to the base level (into how many
parts the base cell is split) in the blend zone. The necessity for increasing
the subdivision is due to an excessively large deviation of edge blending grid
function from its continuous counterparts for the base grid. The increased
sub-division smoothens out the sometimes occurring ladder effect of edge
blending, however, excessively large parameters with a large area of the zone
reduce the visual system performance.
186
Between the knee point and the zero point, the image is faded from 100% intensity
to 0% intensity, as a function of the Alpha () and Gamma () parameters for the edge.
If X is a parameter determining transition in the edge zone (X = 0 the zero points
line; X = 1 the knee point line), then the intensity in the edge zone Y is calculated
formula:
1/
Y = (X )
For clearer presentation, the dialogue box displays a graph where X axis goes from
the left to the right, and Y axis goes from the bottom to the top.
Reset to defaults button returns all the parameters to their default values.
Procedure for Edge Blending Adjustment
Step 1
The first step is determination of the physical overlap zone. It can be made noticeable by
setting Alpha = 0 and Gamma = 1 for both channels. The picture will assume the view:
187
Fade zones should be coincident with the physical overlap zone. To do this,
it is necessary to make visible lines indicating the fade zone on the screen
(check Show blend lines). Then keep moving them in the adjustment window by
using the keyboard until the fade zones are coincident with the overlap zone
(see fig. below).
Note: First tune blend lines 1 of the adjacent channels: Line 1 of the right-hand
projector should be coincident with the beginning of physical presentation
from the left-hand projector. Line 1 of the left-hand projector should be
coincident with the beginning of presentation from the right-hand projector.
Then make final correction with blend lines 0 of both channels.
Step 2
For more accurate adjustment, repeat this operation with lines turned off
(uncheck Show blend line) with step parameter reduced:
Step 3
The final step is the edge blending adjustment. For the adjacent channels, set Alpha = 2
and then keep increasing Gamma starting from 1 and achieving uniform intensity
in the overlap zone:
188
Color Adjustment
Colour adjustment compensates for the physical differences in the dynamic range
of colours and projector luminance enabling their equalising.
In adjusting the colour range, you can move and scale data within the work area,
and edit white colour check zone in much the same way as in geometry adjustment.
To adjust colour, use a dialogue box shown in fig. above. You can set colour
(by using Red-Green-Blue, Luminance-Hue-Saturation colour models or a standard
Windows colour selection dialogue box) for each corner of the image. The colour
is smoothly interpolated within the rectangle assuming that within the light grey
rectangle the colour should be invariable. The shape and size of this area rectangle
can be changed.
189
In order to assign parameters to a device, first associate it with one of the visual
channel, and then select the assigned device. Then the parameters panel appears
at the right-hand (see fig. above).
The parameter panel shows all settings (Name) and their values saved in the profile
(Profile value column). If the select profile contains no instruction as to one or another
value, the Profile value parameter will be marked unassigned. The Device value
column shows the value corresponding to the current status of the device.
The Connect button allows binding the device and monitoring its operating
parameters directly during the profile changing. Remember that you can disconnect
the bound device only by restarting the Visual System Tuner application.
The top part of the window features device control buttons:
190
Data Copying
This function allows copying of data from one profile to another. By using the right
mouse button, you can copy geometry, 4 types of edge blending and colour zones:
Switching Profiles
For on-the-fly profile switching during the session, use the corresponding panel in
the instructor application. The visual channel tree is displayed on the panel the same
way as it is in the profile editor. To switch over to another profile, do a right click
on the corresponding group of channels, which will result in appearance of a list
of profiles available at the moment. By default, the profile will be displayed using
bold type. The selected profile is shown checked.
server_name name of the server (computer which the simulator is installed on).
By default, this is the current computer;
log directory where the icm_converter.log utility operation log file will be
saved in. By default, the directory for temporary files (%TEMP%) set
in the system, will be used.
All the old profiles assigned to one group of channels will be converted to one new
profile and assigned automatically to the relevant group. Its name will have
the following form: root_#.bridge_#.controlshift_#.icp.
All the old profiles stored in the relevant folder but not assigned to any group
of channels, will be converted to the single unused.ic_profile within which
they will be saved with original names.
In the software upgrades from version 4.60 and higher, the utility is not required to be run.
