    data and second **WPort** is for HET FMx commanding). Please note
    the following example is setup to connect to FM1.

3.  To record the test session, specify a unique file name in the
    **Commfile** parameter.

4.  Click on the wmac_ver4_5.exe or icon (containing a shortcut to this
    .exe) to invoke the program. The main window will display.

5.  On the main menu -\> click **File \| Open File -\>** select
    **CPT_display.cmd**

**5. WinMac-GSE session**

After the WinMac-GSE command session has been started, the following
dialog will appear:

![](media/image1.png){width="5.989583333333333in"
height="5.291666666666667in"}

Note: If you do not plan to command HET using this method, then this
display can be minimized (the \_ on the menu bar located in the top
right corner) to maximize the viewing of the packet display area. Also
note that if you click on the X you terminate the GSE session, which
will require you to restart the program.

For the **HET Aliveness and Limited Performance** test (using the
LPT_display.cmd), you will see the following displays:

![](media/image2.png){width="4.9375in" height="7.989583333333333in"}

Note: Wait a few minutes for the time and the data packets to
synchronize and the display to fully populate. It takes about 6 minutes
for all the HK information to appear in the bottom panel for all the
detectors.

For the **HET Comprehensive Performance** test (using the
CPT_display.cmd), you will see the following display:

![](media/image3.png){width="6.4944444444444445in"
height="5.667361111111111in"}

Note: Wait a few minutes for the time and the data packets to
synchronize and for the display to fully populate. It takes about 6
minutes for all the HK information to appear for all the detectors.
Also, note that the display denoted with APID 597 will be empty until
the \"tmode 3\" command has been sent to HET (as directed in the second
part of the HET CPT procedure) and executed by the HET firmware. All the
information that is needed for this test will eventually be displayed.

After the displays are populated. Start recording the HK data and Rate
data as directed in the Aliveness, LPT and CPT documents. Make sure you
verify that the HK is for the correct HET FM. This information is
available in these documents.

**6. Setting up for Commanding HET (optional, commanding can also be
done from SEP Central console):**

Using the HET GSE and Commanding window:

![](media/image1.png){width="5.75in" height="5.291666666666667in"}

1.  Setup the SCM header by selecting the correct spacecraft ID (default
    is the Ahead spacecraft which ID = EA). To select the Behind
    spacecraft, click on **SetUp \| SCM** on the HET GSE and Commanding
    dialog menu. The following dialog will appear:

> ![](media/image4.png){width="3.53125in" height="2.0729166666666665in"}

2.  Select **EA** for the Ahead spacecraft or **EB** for the Behind
    spacecraft. The Enable and Timeout parameters for the SCM are also
    configurable. This SCM header parameter needs to be set only once
    during a GSE session.

<!-- -->
```
3.  Using the HET GSE and Commanding dialog, type the commands (as
    specified in the Aliveness and LPT document) in the edit box labeled
    Commands. You can also use the scroll down to get a template and
    then edit the parameters.

4.  Click the **SEND** button to send the command.

5.  The commands will be echoed from the GSE and from the command
    response packet (ApId 576) in the HET Commanding dialog in the
    **Command Log section** as seen below:

> ![](media/image5.png){width="3.6979166666666665in"
> height="1.2604166666666667in"}
>
> Note: Notice the command has been received and processed successfully
> by HET in the above figure, this is noted by HET\> 10E801 tmode 0. The
> number before the command string is assigned by the firmware. If the
> command was entered incorrectly or not received successfully, HET will
> respond with a question mark (?) after the command string which it did
> receive.
>
> **7. Identifying the Flight Model**
>
> When using multiple sessions of the Winmac-GSE, make sure you verify
> the flight model before recording data. In the lower right bottom of
> the Winmac-GSE screen you will see the following information which
> will help you to identify the flight model for the GSE session. The
> values in these fields will flicker as the data refreshes from reading
> the CCSDS header on the packets:
>
> ![](media/image6.png){width="3.90625in" height="0.3854166666666667in"}

8.  **Closing and Opening a New Data File for Recording**

> It is customary to open a new data file to correspond to each new
> test. Opening a new file without restarting the program can be
> accomplished by pressing the **DATA** button on the ***HET GSE and
> Commanding*** window (see figure in section 6). By clicking on the
> **DATA** button, the current file will be closed and you will be
> prompted for a new file name to starting recording again.
