Client Overview

The MOAS Client is a Windows application used with the MOAS II server. As you read this documentation please keep in mind the following three things:

1. The interface is highly configurable. You are encouraged to change the fonts, buttons, and what is displayed.
2. The defaults are boring. They work but you can find better ways to set things up.
3. Several ideas suggested by users have already been implemented. If there is a feature you would like, ask and we’ll try to implement it.

Overview

The MOAS II consists of three parts - the intelligent switch, the server program, and the clients. The MOAS II Client is a Windows client.

Capabilities

The MOAS II Client provides capabilities for users of Windows.

Some capabilities are only available if the client is running on the same PC as the logging program. Most capabilities are available from any PC which can communicate with the server using TCP/IP.

Logging Program Interface

The client can obtain frequency information, active station, and antenna direction information from DXLog.net, N1MM Logger+, Win-Test, and WriteLog. It can obtain logger messages (F keys) from N1MM Logger+. It can also obtain frequency information from OmniRig.

Antenna Display and Selection

The client provides several ways to display and select antennas.

Rotator Direction Display and Selection

The client can display the direction of a rotator numerically or on a compass and can change the direction of a rotator.

Configurable

The number and types of displays, the sizes and colours, and what is displayed may be configured according to the preferences of the operator.

Internationalization

The client is internationalized. However the display texts can be set to the Unicode strings preferred by the user. In practice this means the operation but not the configuration can be set up in whatever language the operator prefers.

Scripting

The client can be controlled by a scripting program which sends it messages.
