N3FJP Interface Setup
Please see Contesting with N3FJP logger connection for detailed information on the setup of the fldigi logging interface with N3FJP logging programs.
N3FJP ACL
Capturing Rx text in fldigi
The fldigi user can capture text, both word delimited and mouse high-lighted from the received text panel. The text will capture either with a double-left or single-left mouse click. This is selectable on this fldigi configuration tab:
Single-click is faster, but makes marking text a bit more difficult, especially if the text is being moved vertically as it is being decoded. I hardly ever mark-bound a text to capture, so I prefer the single-click paradigm.
The behavior of the left-click transfer is dependent on whether fldigi is configured for casual contacts or contesting (include field day). The word capture for both casual and contesting will always transfer a recognized CALL to the fldigi logging entry for CALL. Call recognition uses a Regular Expression Parser.
A word that passes the rules for RST will be transferred to the RSTin entry.
A word that passes the rules for Maidenhead locater (grid square) will be transferred to the Loc entry.
For casual contacts, the fields are then populated in order: NAME, QTH.
Contest fields are populated in a similar way for CALL. If the contest fields for Xchg are visible then the left click paradigm is to append each clicked word LEFT to RIGHT with a space separator to the XchngIn entry control.
If the Field Day contest fields CLASS and SECTION are visible then the left-clicked Rx text words will be entered in that order.
Capturing the Field Day values for CALL, CLASS and SECTION can take as few as 3 mouse clicks.
Trigger Actions
Immediately after the call field is updated, the CALLTAB command is sent to ACL. This doesn't actually change focus in ACL, but performs all the functions associated with tabbing from the Call field in ACL, including duplicate check, listing previous contacts and retrieving previous contact info. In ACL, it also initiates call book lookup (if enabled), checks Watch List, etc.
This action takes place when:
- fldigi's log call field is populated from the Rx text transfer
- fldigi's log call field is exited via ENTER or TAB key
The TXTENTRY in ACL will change whenever a 3 or more keystrokes occurs in the fldigi log call field, or when the log call field is populated from the Rx text grab.
Clearing the fldigi log fields will clear the N3FJP call fields
Clearing the fldigi log call field using the right-click-clear paradigm will clear the N3FJP call fields
N3FJP FD Contest
You will need to perform some additional configuration in fldigi to fully appreciate the data capture and FD event logging. Open the Contest configuration tab and make the following entries: FD operator CALL, your CLASS, your SECTION.
N3FJP CQWW RTTY Contest logger
Select the CQWW contest on the Contest configuration tab. The fields for CQzone and CQstate are then visible, as are the respective Rx text, right click popup menu items.
