EME System
(ver 4.2)
Abandoned Freeware


This is the EME System for DOS.  EME System is 
a program for controlling antenna motors (UP, 
DOWN, CW, and CCW directions) to track the 
moon, or other selected radio source.  It is 
primarily intended for Earth-Moon-Earth amateur 
radio transmissions, but can also be used for 
both radio and optical astronomy telescope control.  

Note that the authors primary language is French, 
and that the software (although translated into 
English) still contains a few minor French labels.  

You can use the program without connecting an interface 
(set COM port in the "DAT" file to to COM0), but if you 
want to control an antenna, you will have to build an 
RS232 interface that connects the motors to either your 
serial port COM1 or COM2.  

The documentation refers to an "Appendix" containing 
interface drawings, but unfortunately, that appendix was 
not included with the program.  The control interface is 
relatively simple to build however, as it is just a relay 
trigger that anyone with basic electrical knowlege could 
design.  As a convenience, I am including a PDF file from 
a recent Windows version of the software ("Wiring.pdf") 
which, though more complex to take advantage of the extra 
software features included in the Windows version, might 
help persons who need to see an actual wiring schematic.
