SRM Air Power and Data Options:

Powering the SRM Air:

The SRM Air can be powered by one of two power connections, either being acceptable and valid. The non-Xbee radio versions of the SRM Air have a power requirement of up to 2.5W, while the Xbee radio version has a power requirement of up to 7.5W. Check the power and voltage ratings of the supply to be used before application. The two connection options available are as follows:

Option 1 (Recommended): DC power with a voltage of between 4-16V DC. Wiring for this option is labeled as “Aux Power” in the cable wiring diagram on the following page.

Option 2: USB powering of the device. This can be a standard 5V USB connection, so long as needed current ratings are met. USB C Power Delivery supplies are also supported, utilizing supplies that support either 15V, 9V, or 5V USB C PD power.

Note: Connecting “Aux Power” and a USB connection simultaneously is allowed. This may be the case, for example, if USB is needed to use the data connection, while power is to be applied from the aux power connection. In this instance, the SRM Air will negotiate power from the highest rated voltage of the two connections.

Data Paths of the SRM Air:

Multiple options for data connectivity are available from the SRM Air. These options are given to provide support for most any integration to robotic platforms. If none of the wired options are suitable for integration to an expected platform, there is an integrated wireless radio version of the SRM Air.

This option uses a commercial radio protocol (Xbee) that operates on an unlicensed radio band (915 Mhz).

Option 1 (Recommended): 100 Base-T Ethernet. Standard RJ45 plug.

Option 2 (Recommended): RS-232 UART serial communications. 115200 baud, 8-N-1 messaging protocol. TTL (3.3V) signal levels.

Option 3: Integrated Xbee radio option. Recommended connectivity option if 1 or 2 isn’t available.

Option 4: USB 2.0 data. Available as an option, but USB integration isn’t generally well supported over long distance data links.

Cabling:

All data and power connection options come out of the SRM Air’s multi-purpose cable. Cables will be designed to length to match user’s exact integration needs. Standard connection termination options such as RJ-45 plugs, for example, would be available, as well as support for custom terminations options if needed.

SRM Air Data Protocol

Overview The SRM Air communicates over various potential data links. The data is a stream of messages, each of which is of variable length, as defined below.

A connection to the SRM Air can be established directly to the device utilizing ethernet, serial, or USB connection options. The SRM Air Base Station can establish a remote connection to the SRM Air through long distance data links utilizing available system data multiplexers while onboard that remote system. The data from the Base Station can be relayed to local command and control display devices utilizing Bluetooth, USB, or wired/wireless Ethernet connection options.

Message Overview The stream of data to and from the SRM Air is divided into discrete messages that are framed as described below in the Message Framing section. The data section of the messages is encoded using the Google protocol buffers format (protobufs).

Messages are sent asynchronously. In particular, the remote system should be able to receive SRM Air messages as soon as the connection is established. The remote system may also send commands to the SRM Air at will. Each command will be acknowledged by the SRM Air.

Message Framing

Field Name Synch Token Length Protobuf Data Checksum Size (in bytes) 4 4 Variable 2

Table 1: Message format.

Messages transmitted to, or from, the SRM Air will have the format listed in Table 1. Each section is described below.

Synchronization Token A synchronization token forms the first four bytes of a message. It is always fixed to the hexadecimal sequence 0xA5A5A5A5. The main purpose of this field is to make sure that the stream is synchronized.

Length The length is a four-byte, little-endian field that indicates the length of the data field. This is necessary since the data field’s length can vary.

Protocol Buffer (protobuf) Data This is encoded according to the .proto standard using Google Protocol Buffers. This data is further described within the proto file.

Checksum The checksum is a two-byte field that is calculated via the 8-bit Fletcher algorithm. The purpose of the checksum is to verify the integrity of the rest of the data in the message. The checksum is calculated by applying the following algorithm across the length field, and the protocol buffer data field.

Note: the synchronization token is NOT considered in the checksum calculation.

uint8_t CK_A = 0, CK_B = 0 For(I=0;I<N;I++) CK_A = CK_A + Buffer[I]

CK_B = CK_B + CK_A

Technical Note TN-190 10/14

RAE Systems by Honeywell 877-723-2878 raesystems.com 1

MONITOR REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

FOR MULTIRAE

This technical note explains how instrument data can be transferred, and remote control functions implemented in real time, between a RAE Systems MultiRAE-family monitor and a personal computer via a HyperTerminal emulation (Point-To-Point, or P2P, protocol).

This P2P protocol is different from the wireless protocol used in the RAE Systems wireless networks. P2P and wireless capabilities are mutually exclusive and cannot be combined in one instrument.

What You’ll need In order to set up the P2P connection?

You’ll need the following:

• Hard wire or existing cable that shipped with the MultiRAE

• A TelNet client (communications software) in order to establish communication and to give the MultiRAE commands and display its readings and settings on the PC.

In order to operate when hardwired to a computer, the MultiRAE must be running Application Firmware v.1.14 and Sensor Firmware

1.04 or higher and configured for Point-To-Point communications.

This icon should appear at the top left of the MultiRAE’s display when it is running:

HyperTerminal to control serial devices isn’t included in some versions of Windows http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/ windows/what-happened-hyperterminal#1TC=windows-7 In this case a version of HyperTerminal can be found on the Internet and can be downloaded for personal use.

• If you are using Windows 7, for example, you can copy the following two programs from a Window XP computer to run HyperTerminal:

1. hypertrm.dll

2. hypertrm.exe

Important! Both of these files must be in the same folder. Start the program by double-clicking hyprtrm.exe. Also note that this approach does not allow capturing a log of the session.

• You can also use one of many TelNet clients available online, including PuTTY, which is free (available at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/).

CONNECTING THE MULTIRAE TO THE PC AND

IDENTIFYING A COM PORT

• Connect the MultiRAE to the computer using the special RS232 Travel Charger and its mini-USB to DB9 cable (the standard MultiRAE Travel Charger and mini-USB-to-USB PC communications cable will not support P2P). If your computer does not have a DB9/RS232 serial port, use the USB-to-Serial Adapter (p/n 410-0210-000) to connect the mini-USB to DB9 cable to a PC’s USB port.

• Supply power to the RS232 Travel Charger. Either attach the AC adapter to the RS232 Travel Charger, or plug its USB-A plug into an active USB port on the computer for power. The RS232 Travel Charger will not operate without a power source.

Note: Do not plug in both the USB and the AC adapter at the same time, as this may cause errors.

Follow one of the three diagrams below for power and data connection options.

RAE Systems by Honeywell 877-723-2878 raesystems.com 2

• Turn on the MultiRAE.

• Determine the COM (communications) port that you must use.

Right-click on “Computer” Icon on your desktop and follow the path Properties >> Device Manager >> Ports (COM & LPT).

• Find the number of the COM port to which the MultiRAE is connected. The MultiRAE port is the one that reads “Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM[Port Number]).”

• Close the Device Manager window.

• Start your TelNet client.

TelNet Clients

Here are setup procedures for two typical, easy-to-use TelNet clients, HyperTerminal and PuTTY. If you are familiar with others, they may be used as well.

HyperTerminal

• Start HyperTerminal.

a. Enter a name for the connection and click “OK.”

b. At the “Connect To” screen’s “Connect Using” option, select the port number.

c. Click “OK.”

d. In the Properties window for your COM port, select these settings:

• Bits per second (or Baud): 9600

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: None

e. Click “Apply.”

f. Click “OK.”

The HyperTerminal window appears and the connection is active.

Test the connection by typing “S.” You should see the Serial Number of your MultiRAE.

PuTTY

• Double-click the PuTTY icon to start it.

• Click “Run.”

• At the PuTTY Configuration window, click the “Serial” button.

• In the box labeled “Serial line,” input your COM (communications) port number.

• Set the “Speed” to 9600.

• Give your session a name by typing a name into “Saved Sessions” and click “Save.” (This shortcut can be used for subsequent sessions.)

• Click “Open.”

The PuTTY window with your port’s name should appear.

Type “S.” You should see the serial number of your MultiRAE.

Operation

The keyboard shortcuts in Table 1 display the unit’s remote control readout in the terminal window.

Sensor Error/Alarm Limit Bits

A byte, comprising eight bits, is used to record the alarm limits and errors for each sensor. All of the sensors in the MultiRAE are checked remotely, and then the results are displayed when you type a shortcut.

Type “N.” The names of the sensors appear.

Type “E.” If everything is operating correctly, “0 0 0 0 0” appears.

Note: the number of zeroes corresponds to the number of sensors.

Therefore, if there are four sensors, you see four zeroes, etc.

RAE Systems by Honeywell 877-723-2878 raesystems.com 3

Typing “?” tells the instrument to list all supported shortcut commands. For normal operation mode, the menu structure is:

Sensor Error/Alarm Limit Bits A byte, comprising eight bits, is used to record the alarm limits and errors of each sensor. When you type the command “E,” all of the sensors in the unit are checked remotely and then the results are displayed.

Table 2: Alarm/Error Codes

Alarm/Error Code Explanation

Over Range 1 (Bit 0) Sensor over range error

Max 2 (Bit 1) Sensor max (hardware saturated)

Fail 4 (Bit 2) A failure has occurred

• If the sensor is a PID, the lamp has failed

• If the sensor is an LEL: the LEL sensor is off

High 8 (Bit 3) High alarm limit has been reached

Low 16 (Bit 4) Low alarm limit has been reached

STEL 32 (Bit 5) STEL has been reached

TWA 64 (Bit 6) TWA has been reached

Drift 128 (Bit 7) A negative drift has occurred

Table 3*: Unit status information, a byte, comprising 8 bits

Status Code Explanation

Power 1 Power – 1 = Normal, 0 = Abnormal

Battery 2 Battery – 1 = Low alarm , 0 = Normal

Pump 4 Pump – 1 = Stall, 0 = Normal or Not installed

Memory 8 Datalog Memory - 1 = Full, 0 = Normal or Not installed

Sensor alarm 16 Sensor alarm, any of the sensor alarm the bit will be set, includes latched alarms.

Unit Failure 32 Unit Failure–1=Failure, 0=Normal (Not used in MRII, always return 0)

Reserve 64 Reserve as 0

Alarm Mode 128 The current setting of alarm mode. 1 - Latch 0 - Auto Reset

Examples Of How To Interpret MultiRAE Alarm/Error Codes If the High alarm has been exceeded on sensor number one (LEL), this illustrates a reply when you type “E”:

8 0 0 0 0 This tells you that the High alarm limit has been reached on the first sensor (LEL).

If the High alarm and the STEL alarm limit are reached for the second sensor (H2S), this is the information you would see:

0 40 0 0 0 (40 = 8 + 32)

If two events occur simultaneously, the display looks like this:

8 40 0 0 0

The quickest way to identify the nature of the alarm or error is to subtract the largest numbers first.

40 - 32 = 8 32 = Bit 5 = STEL alarm 8 = Bit 3 = High alarm

Section 1: Introduction Specification for requirements along with best practices recommendations to be implemented as applicable to specific sensor systems.

1.1 Purpose

This document is intended to serve as a reference for current and future U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) sensor systems to consult when evaluating what, if any, CoT interface they should implement.

The intent of the document is to enable current and future USBP sensor systems to identify the type of the data which could be exported and samples to provide to contractors to enable them to provide a rough estimate to satisfy any requirements USBP may put in their contract to export data via CoT.

The document owner (currently S&T) would then work with the respective USBP sensor system owner to create a system‐specific implementation profile (see appendices) to be written as contractual requirements for their developer.

1.2 Ownership

This document is currently owned and will be updated by S&T prior to its transition to USBP, after which time USBP will obtain ownership and responsibility for updating the document.

S&T may use the document to develop similar CoT implementation guides for other CBP or DHS components which would then transition to their respective offices for ownership and responsibility.

The version number is appended with an “a” to indicate this version has been edited to enable it to be marked as Distribution A for unlimited release to the public.

1.3 Background

USBP has historically operated in many areas which are sparsely populated and which have limited communications bandwidth and resulted in voice‐only communications via land mobile radios to be the primary means of communication.

For this reason many of the USBP sensor systems providing tactical surveillance did not have a requirement to export data to other systems as the cost for the functionality would not be justified by the limited use of it.

As mobile technology matured and became more ubiquitous there is now a greater opportunity to leverage technology to enable data exchanges with mobile tactical technologies. The result is greater shared tactical situational awareness while reducing congestion on voice channels.

One of those mobile technologies is the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) family of solutions which was developed by AFRL for the DoD for Special Operations Units conducting missions in a variety of environments many of which resemble those of USBP.

The ATAK family of solutions use the Cursor on Target (CoT) format used by many DoD systems for exchanging data. CoT is a mature standard which is an XML based message format that is event based and has time, location and type for each message along with any additional descriptor tags which may be added depending on the type of event.

2 | P a g e

As the ATAK family of solutions has emerged as the possible cornerstone of the overall shared tactical situational awareness capability across USBP an effort is underway to enable other tactical situational awareness technologies to interface and exchange data via CoT.

S&T has partnered with USBP on evaluation and implementation of the ATAK family of solutions and subsequent implementation of CoT by other USBP sensor systems and will continue the partnership thru transition and potentially beyond.

1.4 Terminology

The meaning and implications of several terms within the context of this document are described below to alleviate any concern with their general or other usage.

“Should” indicates general guideline which should be evaluated for any special circumstances prior to adding the requirement and should be changed to “shall” when it is inserted into requirements document.

“Generated” implies created and sent when referring to a message type being generated.

3 | P a g e

Section 2: Export Interface The system exporting CoT should provide an interface to enable transmitting the data from the system to include identified protocols, user interface for configuration, domain name resolution, and network connection point.

2.1 Protocols Used

a) The system exporting CoT should support the multi‐cast protocol to a specified multi‐cast group and port.

b) The system exporting CoT should support the TCP/IP sent to a specific IP address and port.

c) The system exporting CoT should support the UDP sent to a specific IP address and port.

2.2 User Interface

a) The system exporting CoT should support operator configuration of the multi‐cast group and port.

b) The system exporting CoT should support operator configuration of the IP address and port.

c) The system exporting CoT should support operator configuration of the IP address and port.

2.3 Domain Name Resolution

The system exporting CoT should support domain name resolution of a DNS address (e.g.

www.takserver.com) entered into an IP address fields.

2.4 Ancillary Equipment

a) The system exporting CoT should use the existing network connection point if one exists.

b) The system exporting CoT should provide a port, power, and space to install and operate any necessary communications equipment if none exists.

Section 3: Radar Track Message The Radar Track Message is being implemented by USBP for terrestrial sensor systems with radars which are able to identify a target and generate a track of its movements.

3.1 CoT Message Format (Radar Track Message)

The format for a CoT‐compliant Radar Track Message is described in the figure below that provides the fields, field descriptions, and example schema. System specific Radar Track Message examples are contained in the appendices.

Field Field Description Message Format how method for determining track/target <?xml version=”1.0” standalone=”y”?>

<event how=” – “ stale=” “ start=” “ time=” “ type=” - - “ uid=” “ version=”2.0”>

<point ce=” “ hae=” “ lat=” “ le=” “ lon=” “/>

<track course=” “ speed=” “ slope=” “/> </detail> </event> stale time data ceases to be valid (for event) start time data will become valid (for event) time time data was generated (for event) type type of message/event uid unique identifier for the event target version version of CoT schema ce cylinder radius of point (meters) hae height above ellipsoid point (meters, WGS84) lat latitude of point (decimal degrees, WGS84) le cylinder half-height of point (meters) lon longitude of point (decimal degrees, WGS84) course course track/target heading (decimal degrees) speed speed of the track/target (meters per second) slope vertical component of track vector (degrees) callsign callsign for the originator (i.e. system)

Table 1: CoT Radar Track Message

3.2 Message Rate (Radar Track Message)

a) Start: A Radar Track Message should be generated upon the selection of a target for export (in CoT format).

b) End: A Radar Track Message should cease to be generated upon the de‐selection of a target for export and when a target is no longer being detected by the radar. In both cases, the stale time from the last Radar Track Message for the target detection will signal the end of the track.

c) Update: Subsequent Radar Track Messages (with updates on the target) should be generated at the sensor system refresh rate for the radar.

3.3 User Interface & Data Generation (Radar Track Message)

a) The user interface should allow an operator to select a track (of a detected target) created by the system to start exporting the data (in CoT format).

b) The user interface should allow an operator to designate track type (i.e. unknown, hostile, neutral, friendly).

c) The method for defining the name for the track shall be specified in sensor profiles and impact either the user interface (i.e. provide ability for user to enter value) or system automation requirements.

5 | P a g e

d) The default value for track type should be “unknown” unless another value is selected via the user interface.

e) The track type (i.e. unknown, hostile, neutral, friendly) selected should be implemented using the

MIL2525 symbology.

f) The user interface should allow an operator to de‐select a track (of a detected target) created by the system to cease exporting the data (in CoT format).

h) The uid should automatically be generated for the track based upon system data (specified in system profiles).

h) The user interface should provide the ability to enter/edit the callsign of the track.

i) The user interface should display the callsign of the track (not the uid).

6 | P a g e

Section 4: Platform Position Message The Platform Position Message is being implemented by USBP for terrestrial mobile/relocatable sensor systems which do not have a permanent/fixed location (geo‐referenced in existing systems).

4.1 CoT Message Format (Platform Position Message)

The format for a CoT‐compliant Platform Position Message is described in the figure below that provides the fields, field descriptions, and example schema. System specific Platform Position Message examples are contained in the appendices.
