One of the disadvantages of the tinySA as signal generator is the absence of a nice big dial you can use to tune the output frequency.
So I added a new feature: value button dragging.
This works in both output modes.
You can touch and hold the frequency button in the middle and when dragging left/right the frequency will decrease/increase with a speed relative to the distance to the center of the button.
Can some of you provide feedback if this is usable?
Erik,
I tried the drag feature on my pre-production tinySA. In my opinion the drag feature would only be worth adding if the user could set the increment of the drag (i.e. 1kHz - 1MHz steps). As currently, implemented the feature duplicates setting up a automatic sweep using SPAN and SWEEP TIME settings - without the fine control.? Of course I wasn't sure about the usefulness of the vertical scaling when you first introduced it, and now I couldn't picture not having it.
?I would rather see the memory used on an additional input feature such as:
? ?1. editable limit line table
? ?2. editable transducer factor table
? ?3.?automatic OCBW (occupied bandwidth) measurement
I'm sure other users have their own wish list of suggested additions, either for this version or the next.
