General Use of R Utilities

./rsetup -d/dev/ttyS0 -h9600,8,o,1 -238400,8,n,1,0
This command will change the baud rate. The -h (host) says that your comms port on the receiver is set to 9600, 8, n, 1 and the -2 means that you want to change the comms port to 38400, 8, n, 1. The extra 0 means that flow control is disabled.
runpkr00 (ver 1.22)

For rcontrol: you can now specify -dynamic or -static in the command line and the carrier phase will be updated accordingly. If this option is not specified, -static is the default. This is a recent addition to the RUtils and has not been added to the usage information yet.
