Autosim user guide
Autosim is a software package written to control and trigger the programmable instruments that are used to supply simulated signals to the recording devices on underground nuclear weapons effects tests at the Nevada Test Site. These instruments are located either in the tunnel or at a remote site, and may be controlled from anywhere on the Department 9320 Computer Network. Autosim incorporates commands to control the operation of the Laser Calibrator that is a fiber optic device that transmits a signal from down-hole to the uphole recorders. Autosim also supports the task of characterizing the cable links by communicating to some high bandwidth digitizers that are used to input the pulse of the downhole simulator. To minimize the learning interval, Autosim utilizes menus and offers on-line help on most of the selections in the menu options.
