GFI Configuration

1. DESCRIPTION

This manual page describes the different user configurations for accessing the CODAS applications and its GFI extensions.

2. UNIX

User configurations for UNIX like operating systems are:

Environment Variables

Environment variable CODASHOME should be set to the directory where the CODAS software is installed.

Path to CODAS Binaries

This is set in file  /.cshrc or  /.bashrc. The path environment variable must be updated to contain the following directories:

$CODASHOME/gfi/bin/HOST

$CODASHOME/gfi/bin/perl

$CODASHOME/bin/HOST

$CODASHOME/bin/csh

where HOST is the host type the system is running.

Perl Shell

Depending on systems, the Perl shell binary is located either in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. Perl scripts in the CODAS package and its GFI extensions will refer the one or the other. In order not to get into troubles, one should have the perl binary at both places. This can be done with a symbolic link.

Path to Matlab Scripts and Functions

Matlab m-files are located in the following directories:

$CODASHOME/gfi/matlab/matlab50

$CODASHOME/matlab/codas3

$CODASHOME/matlab/misc

$CODASHOME/matlab/ctd

Documentation

The GFI extensions to the CODAS package come with various documentation formats:

Plain Text

Plain text documentation can be found in directory $CODASHOME/gfi/doc/txt and subdirectories.

Manual Pages

To access the manual pages, directory $CODASHOME/gfi/man should be added to the MANPATH environment variable.

HTML Documentation

To get access to the main HTML page of the GFI documentation, open file $CODASHOME/gfi/doc/html/5/gficodas.html from an HTML browser.

3. OTHER

Documentation for other operating systems is not implemented yet.
