Enhancement: Enable Load/Store to SD for Signal Generator Configuration #98

 

Add the ability to save and restore Signal Generator Configuration to SD card.
Suggested Implementation:
Use a different filename suffix for saved Signal Generator configuration files versus Spectrum Analyzer configuration files.
  • On the Signal Generator Mode display page, split the MODE control at the bottom of the display into 3 controls: MODE, LOAD SD, STORE SD.
  • For LOAD SD, present the list of available Signal Generator configuration files for selection similarly to loading of Spectrum Analyzer file dialog and load configuration as requested.
  • For safety, Signal Generator configuration loading should always disable output (set LOW OUTPUT to off).
  • For STORE SD, prompt for filename entry similarly to Spectrum Analyzer file dialog and save the configuration to SD.
  • If no SD card is available, disable or remove the controls.
NOTE: For simplicity, the suggested implementation uses two types of files and separate dialogs for loading Spectrum Analyzer and Signal Generator configurations. But I would not be opposed to combining the files so when in a LOAD SD user could choose either type of file and effect a MODE change as appropriate when performing the load. I think I actually prefer this.

Github Issue #98 created.

Re: New Ultra Failing Self Test

 

Did you forget to connect the SMA patch cable between the two ports?
Does your unit also fail calibration?

Re: New FW release: Small selftest update

 

This new - and every - firmware update works well with my ultra. I update it with dfusedemo, under win10. Thank you Erik for this very good measurement unit!

Re: FW Update - Other Alternatives?

 

Edition??? Windows 10 Pro
Version??? 22H2
Installed on??? ?9/?28/?2020
OS build??? 19045.4046
Experience??? Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0

I was running Windows 7 in early 2020 and I upgraded to Windows 10 at the end-of-service of ver 7.

Thank you.


Re: New FW release: Small selftest update

 

Looking at the code change, is the increased acceptable range for self-test 9 or is that actuality self-test 10? I ask because my occasional test 10 fails have gone away with this firmware update.

It is http vs. https. Any site not using https is considered to be insecure. Which does not necessarily mean unsafe.

Defect Report: Restore Multi-Band from SD Does Not Restore RBW

 

A multi-band configuration when restored from SD does not restore RBW. Duplicate by changing the RBW followed by a restore. Oddly, the RBW field in the display shows the incorrect RBW actually being used but when you click on it to bring up the RBW setting the correct/desired value is checked, not the one actually in use.

NOTE: This is only a defect for configurations WITH multi-band AND when saved to SD, not one of the 4 in-memory slots.

If you prefer, I can open an issue in for this in github. Not sure of proper protocol.

Horace,

What version of Windows are you using on the laptop?

Re: Is there a sync pulse generated at the CAL port?

 

That's Great!? Thank you.

Yup - just had to read the CONFIG menu list....;-)
PULSE HIGH enables a trigger signal from the CAL output at the start of each low input sweep.

Hans,

It's just Chrome being extra careful about the file type. From Erik's site,
it's OK so keep pressing keep!

Cheers.

Re: FW Update - Other Alternatives?

 

Thank you for the link.

1. Memory Integrity for both machines are already set to OFF. So this isn't the issue, in my case anyway.
2. Comm Port Driver - I don't see any new comm port being added when I turn ON or OFF the tinySA Ultra. I have however successfully installed the tinySA-App prior to my attempts to update the FW.
3. Firmware Upgrade driver - On my desktop, the only thing I see being added to the Device Manager when my tinySA Ultra is in DFU Mode is the STM BOOTLOADER under Unirversal Serial Bus devices. And the FW Update worked perfectly fine. So I'm a bit hesitant to uninstall it as suggested. However, on my laptop, the STM BOOTLOADER doesn't ever show up, no Comm Ports either. But I get a strange message when I try to run the STM32CubeProg. Clicking Refresh Port under USB Configuration doesn't bring up anything. This item was done automatically on my desktop.

I've checked and tried all 3 but nothing worked on my laptop. So I feel that it could be a driver issue, unless I missed something else.

I have kept a screenshot of the topic discussed on the link given for reference. I'm might come in handy later.

Thanks again.

Yes
You may have to enable it in the config menu

Re: FW Update - Other Alternatives?

 

I took screenshots from the desktop and laptop (STM32_driver_versions.zip). The laptop does not have the STM32 BOOTLOADER under Universal Serial Bus Devices. I was able to get the Driver versions installed on the desktop but none for the laptop. I hope these are the correct drivers you're asking for.

I also tried to manually install the drivers for DfuSE as suggested by @Jim Shorney, which I found in my C:\Program Files (X86) folder. I also checked the drivers folder for the STM32CubeProg under my C:\Program Files folder with is installed during the install process. I also manual installed it again. Still the same issues for both.

The process went smoothly on my desktop. After I installed STM32CubeProg which also installed the drivers, it easily recognized the tinySA after I put it in DFU mode. I didn't even have to click the refresh button. So this could be a problem with the drivers for my laptop.

I hope that STM could come up with updated drivers. I sure would like to do my next FW updates on my laptop.

Thank you.

Erik,
I was browsing EEVBlog and came across this post:

The OP talks about a pulse generated at the HIGH output every time a new sweep starts on the LOW output.
I don't have my unit with me so I was wondering if you ported this (feature?) to the Ultra?

Thanks
