Introduction
These are the technical notes for the program DCP, which is one of
the main data collection programs used in the Auditory Physiology Lab at the
Univ. of Wisconsin.
The word "DCP" is an acronym for "Data Collection Program",
even though DCP by itself collects no data.
Instead, it acts as a "front end" to many of the other data collection
programs used in the Lab, such as RA, TH etc.
One of the goals of DCP is to make data collection easier and faster.
This is achieved primarily by the use of command macros. The user can, in
effect, specify his/her experimental paradigm in advance by constructing
appropriate macros, and then, during the experiment, start data collection
by invoking these macros from DCP.
DCP includes commands to start other programs. This allows the user
to start a series of data collection programs in succession. Available soon
will be the facility to start other programs asynchronously, i.e. control
returns to DCP immediately upon starting the other program. This will allow,
for example, data analysis programs to run in parallel with data collection.
System Requirements
(a) Hardware
DCP was originally written for a Harris (Datacraft) 6024/5 computer with
the D.M.S. operating system, and
ran on that system from approx. 1977 to 1987.
In 1987 it was converted to run on a MicroVAX-II computer with a RAMTEK
color graphics display and the VAX/VMS operating system.
It currently runs on a Digital VAXstation 3200 using the built in
VWS graphics display and OpenVMS V5.5-2.
Most recently (2002) it is in the process of being converted to run on the
Windows/NT/2000/XP operating system.
(b) Software
DCP is written in Fortran, using the Digital Fortran compiler for OpenVMS.
The DSS routines are also written in Fortran.
It is expected that the new version of DCP (for Windows) will be written
in a combination of C++ (using the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler) and
Fortran (using Compaq Visual Fortran).
Logical Unit Numbers
The following is the assignment of Logical Unit Numbers (LUN's) currently
used by DCP:
Common Event Flags
DCP runs in parallel with other programs (such as RA, TH etc.) and
make extensive use of VMS Common Event Flags to synchronize activity
between them.
The following is a list of all common event flags used by DCP and
associated programs.
(Note: Local Event Flags, those with numbers below 64, are not listed
here).
Back to Top Memory Mapped Objects
Memory Mapped Objects (or File-mapped Objects) are used to transfer data
between the many co-programs (data collection
programs) that comprise the Windows version of DCP.
These objects are just blocks in virtual memory that can be mapped (and hence shared)
by the various co-programs.
The following file-mapped objects are in use at the moment:
(1) DCPMM1
Used to share data between DCP and the "currently active" data collection program (e.g. RA).
Size = 5120 bytes.
Allocation as follows:
Back to Top The TABLE array
The array "TABLE" in DCP holds the values of most internal variables within DCP that
define the program state.
When DCP launches another program, TABLE is written out to the PSF, and then read
back from the PSF when DCP resumes execution.
TABLE is an array of 128 integers (32-bits each).
The following are the contents of TABLE.
Back to Top The Parameter Storage File - PSF
The Parameter Storage File (PSF) is a file used by DCP and all related
programs (RA, TH etc.) to store parameters that need to persist after the
programs are done running.
For example, when the user specifies certain RA parameters, such as
number of reps or duration time, the
program saves them in the PSF and retrieves them automatically
the next time RA is started.
It is also used for some inter-process communication. For example,
the program NEUCAL passes certain parameters to its sub-programs
via blocks 7 and 8 of the PSF.
The PSF that is used by DCP (and related programs) is always named DCPF.PSF.
It resides in directory D: on VMS systems, and on Windows systems the
PSF for DCP resides in folder "APPDATA\Audstuff\DCP" where
APPDATA is the file system directory that serves as a common repository
for application-specific data (as defined by Windows).
Thus, typically, on a Win/2000/XP system, DCPF.PSF may reside in the
directory "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application
Data\Audstuff\DCP" where "UserName" is the name of currently logged
in user.
Thus, in VMS the same PSF is shared by all users, while in Windows there
is a separate PSF for each user.
The exact location (or even the existence) of the PSF is generally not
known to the user.
On Windows systems, the PSF is created automatically the first time
that DCP runs (if it does not already exist).
The PSF (DCPF.PSF) is a binary file, logically divided into blocks
of 128 32-bit words each (i.e. 512 bytes/block).
Since it is shared by several programs, its use is regulated by the
following convention.
The following is a detailed list of how the contents of each block of the
PSF are used.
(Note: I*2 means 16-bit).
