Confirmation... setting the "Start In" field to match the "Target" field 
allows LH to use the heather.cfg in the Target directory, irrespective 
of where the shortcut is placed.

My problem (on W7) was a little different...

LH ran OK from the shortcut it placed on the desktop, using the 
heather.cfg it placed in the \programfiles\heather directory.


When I moved that shortcut to another directory it could no longer see 
the .cfg file.
I fixed it by putting another heather.cfg in the folder with the 
shortcut... works fine again.


I'll try Alberto's fix instead... I'm sure it will work ok.

Arnold,

I also set the time zone using the 'tz' command while LH is running. 
Sorry, I forgot to mention that.

You're welcome -- I'm really just the Web host here, all the good stuff is 
Mark's. :)

It's true that there is a copy of heather.cfg in the installation directory, 
but it's only stored there to make the installation a complete copy of my 
development directory.  (In other words, if you have Inno Setup installed on 
your machine, you should be able to create your own distribution of LH by 
running the same batch file I do to create a release.)  This copy of 
heather.cfg is not read by the program under normal conditions.   For the most 
part you should only be working with the .cfg file in your Documents folder.

My main point is, if the program is doing anything at all in the 
\windows\system32 folder, something has gone very wrong somewhere.  I've never 
seen that before, and I'm afraid I don't have any ideas to offer.  It should 
certainly not be looking there for the .cfg file, unless you somehow managed to 
install the program itself there... and even then, it still shouldn't. :-P  
We'll need to see if anyone else reports similar behavior.

Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Version 5 is now available

[Magnus Danielson]

Hi Mark,

Many thanks!

I can report that it built without intervention on my Debian linux.
I look forward to test it out on various receivers.

For linux you probably want to set CFLAGS and include -g in the build.
Running with valgrind does not come out clean, which is a good test to 
help catch memory leaks and uninitiated stuff.


Cheers,
Magnus

Lady Heather version 5.0 is now available for download from:
   http://www.ke5fx.com/heather/readme.htm

Many thanks to John Miles for hosting the distribution and his work on the 
Windows installer, PDF documentation file, readme file, and bring an all-around 
good guy.

Heather now has some proper user documentation.  Check the heather.pdf file 
and/or the comments in the first 3500+ lines of the heather.cpp file.  Heather 
can be compiled for Linux (including the Raspberry Pi) and macOS.  Download the 
heatherx11.zip file and check the readme.txt file for compilation instructions.

There are MANY new features in Heather.  One of the main ones is support for many new 
receiver types.  When Heather is started it defaults to attempting to automatically 
determine the receiver type.   You can bypass this and force the receiver type using the 
new "/rx..." command line options.  Some receiver types cannot be 
auto-detected.  Also many receivers power up speaking NMEA and you can enable their 
native binary language using the /rx commands.  Native binary mode gives better 
information and allows controlling the receiver configuration and settings.

Currently-supported receivers include:
Trimble Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt-E
Acron Zeit WWVB receiver
UCCM - Trimble / Symmetricom GPSDOs
DATUM STARLOC II GPSDO
NEC GPSDO (STAR-4 compatible)
GPSD interface
Jupiter-T (aka Zodiac)
Lucent KS24361 REF0/Z3811A (19200:8:N:1)
Motorola binary format
Generic NMEA receiver
Trimble Resolution T family with odd parity
Sirf binary
Generic Trimble TSIP binary
Ublox UBX binary
Venus mixed binary / NMEA
Nortel SCPI-compatible GPSDOs (NTWB, NTPX, etc.)
Z3801A and compatible SCPI GPSDOs
HP 5-style SCPI
Oscilloquartz STAR-4 (via the management interface)
NVS binary
PC system clock (no receiver)

After installing Heather, you should edit the heather.cfg file (or the PROPERTIES setting for the desktop icon) for 
your desired configuration.  Everybody should change the "/tz" option for their time zone... it comes set up 
for the US central time zone.  International uses should add a "/b..." command to set their daylight savings 
time information.   On Windows, you can press the "n" key and that will bring up NOTEPAD to edit the file.  
For the changes to take effect you will need to re-start Heather (or do a "r heather.cfg" keyboard command).

Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Version 5 is now available

[John Miles]

Yeah, that's probably something we should fix.  Installation programs don't 
normally set that field at all.  But when Heather's initial working directory 
isn't in the usual Program Files hierarchy, it tries to load the .cfg file from 
the same directory as the executable.  This is something I do to make life 
easier during development.  It's not a problem in applications where the user 
doesn't access the .cfg or.ini file directly, but in this case different parts 
of the program are probably looking for the file in different places.
 
For now, I'd recommend installing LH under the default Program Files or Program 
Files (x86) subtree, just to minimize confusion.  I probably won't have a 
chance to tweak this behavior today, but will try to get to it this week.

[paul swed]

Mark
Thank you for the secret on setting the receiver I was making it way to
hard.
The 3801 absolutely has a problem. Locks and everything just fine. Takes
about 20 minutes from a cold start. It will accept commands I am not
getting the correct output back. Everything had worked so it is a real
problem. I used any number of programs with it. HP satstat gpscontroller
and other old programs. So none of that is sick. The output is 0 to 3V
approx and its a LT1180 so it should be +- 5V at least and more like 7. So
somethings sick.
Its on the bench and will scope it out.
Thanks again for your fine work.

I'm not sure what might be going on here, but one thing that tripped me up 
personally was that some options I was using in both my old heather.cfg file 
and my command-line shortcut were changed between V3 (which is what I was 
running before) and V5.  If you somehow get into a situation where LH V5 is 
trying to load an older config file, you may need to track down that file and 
modify or delete it.

In general, make sure you run the LH setup program while logged in as the same 
user that will run the app.  Currently the installer always writes heather.cfg 
to the current user's documents folder (e.g., c:\Users\johnm\Documents).  If 
you have a separate admin user on your system and you launch the installer 
under that account, heather.cfg may end up in a different directory.   That, in 
turn, may leave an older copy of heather.cfg  lying around for the program to 
find.

Still another thing to watch out for, now that heather.cfg is an 
officially-installed file, is that subsequent reinstallations of LH will 
overwrite any changes you've made to heather.cfg.  So you may want to make a 
backup if you need to reinstall for any reason after making extensive changes 
to heather.cfg.  

Future builds will solve both of these problems by having the program itself 
create heather.cfg the first time it's run, if the file isn't already present 
in {userdocs}.  That's really the only right way to install .cfg/.ini files in 
Windows-land, but neither of us got around to implementing that for the initial 
V5.00 release.

Hello Mark,

many thanks for your immense and invaluable work!

I am using the trimble thunderbold together with LH version 3 all the
last years with success, I like your program very much.
I downloaded and installed today the version 5, but I have some problems
because it looks like my windows 7 does
not get access to the heather.cfg file, what do I wrong? Anybody has an
idea how to do it right?

Many thanks

Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather Version 5 is now available

Version 5.00 is working well with my 58503A, but I did find one annoying 
behavior. If LH is the active application, as in it has keyboard focus, I find 
my screen saver will not activate.

[time-nuts] Lady Heather Version 5 is now available

[Mark Sims]

At the bottom of the command line help screen dialog, it should show what 
command was causing problems.

You should not need to do anything.  Z3801A should be auto-detected.  You can 
skip the auto-detect by editing the heather.cfg file and changing the /rxa 
command to /rxz

Are you using a null modem cable with the Z3801A... it needs it.   Also do you 
have the proper serial port selected?   If you have a /br command setting the 
baud rate, that would override Heather's auto-detect trying different baud 
rates or the /rxz command setting 19200:7:O:1
