[WT-support] WT Network traffic

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Chris,

Please explain what you are trying to do, create another version of
GetScores?  You can download that here:

The Win-Test Alt-J (status) window already displays the frequency of every
station on the LAN.  Only operator callsign is missing.

In version 4.6, Win-Test introduced new LUA APIs.  At present these are
only documented in Release.txt:

  - wtStatus:GetList() returns a table with names of the stations
    in the network.
  - wtStatus:GetStatus(strStation) returns a table with fields of
    the status of a given station. Returns nil if this station
    doesn't exist. The table keys are "band" "mode" "currentRadio"
    "radio1Freq" "radio2Freq" "radio1IsManual" "radio2IsManual"
    "passFreq" "type" and "qsyStatusId".
  - wtStatus:GetFreq(strBand[, strMode]) returns the "best" pass
    freq for a given band and mode. To determine this frequency,
    it uses the same algorithm as the $FREQnn variable.

The only thing missing seems to be a way to get the operator callsign.  The
only way to get that is to export the log file to ADIF or TXT.  I could not
find a LUA API that returns it.

However, from this
post<http://lists.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2009-October/078532.html>
:

"... the login.wts and logout.wts scripts are called at each op. change.
These scripts must be located in the root
directory of each operator (...\Application Data\Win-Test\ops\f6fvy\ for
example)."

So if  you create a login script for each operator you could theoretically
store the op. callsign (hard coded and unique to each version of the
login.wts script) in a global LUA table.

If you really prefer to intercept Win-Test network traffic (not sure why
since the packet format can change), this is the only available
documentation, and it is probably out of date:
