Re: #betatest #betatest

 

To All the Beta Testers and ERIK-

Thanks for all the research, testing and feedback. You have my full support. As soon as the TinySA came out I bought one, and used it to track some RFI that we found moved up and down the band (2Meters) effecting an Amateur repeater on a fixed frequency. More below.

In the upcoming weeks and month of Beta Testing and refinement, I am sure the overall product will improve, beyond my expectations. Thank you for your dedication and volunteering. One comment.. When a "stable- approved" firmware version is good enough for the average Joe- please let us know it's OK to upgrade. Perhaps that version would also match the "users" manual so that one upgrading to that firmware would be confident that it works and the "manual" can be refereed to at a high confidence level.

Back to the RFI - Since the repeater duplexers and receiver band-pass limited the RFI to only look as if intermittent, we found the TinySA showed a wide signal moving up and down the band. Because it was now a visual constant signal we tracked it a few blocks... to guess what??
A BIKER BAR - with a reputation, that the local police had cleaned up a few years ago but still, not the place to take your mother for tea. even Long Island Iced Tea..? Well, alone one afternoon , I entered and spoke to the bar tender.. explained why I was there..?
Once inside it was easy to find the culprit.. A neon tube beer sign about 3ft by 2ft..The bar tender told me "sometimes it flashes" and the beer distributor promised a replacement as it distracted those playing pool nearby.? Well, as soon as he saw the TinySA display and unplugging it, the signal disappeared. He said- I'll keep it off telling the distributor, you want it on, bring me a new sign.. So we had a beer and all is well since.

Re: Interest in tinysa without display

 

Simon,
You could probably surgically disable the display backlight to save power (without any firmware change).

Dear all
I would like to integrate a spectrum analyzer to a laser oscillator for supervising the quality of a laser beam via photodiode. This photodiode will be routed to spectrum analyzer over a TIA. The result will be send to PC application or to a microcontroller to make further actions. Because the SA is integrated in a device there is no need for a display. My questions are:
1. Is possible to run tinysa without display to save power?
2. I guess the protocol regarding extraction of data out of sa is open and documented?
3. To readout data is it possible to make access over rs232 not USB? Is there a native USB communication on this board or is a rs232 to USB converter?
4. I guess that this problem with dual peak is solved for this type of device?
Best regards

Not without modifying the SW, which you can do yourself

See:?https://tinysa.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.USBInterface
?

The USB interface is native. There is also RS232 HW available on the PCB but currently does not fit in FW so it is commented out but you can remove unneeded parts and enable the serial interface
?
4. I guess that this problem with dual peak is solved for this type of device?
No double peak with tinySA

Good catch, indeed, inverted logic after code cleanup, will be solved in next release (unless I forget)

tinySA small bug #bug_report

 

Hi Erik!
I think there is a small bug in the firmware regarding the control of the output signal via console commands. When sending "ouput on" the output signal goes off and when sendign "output off", the signal goes on. The text "LOW OUTPUT ON/OFF" is correct and corresponds to the generated signal. FW version is 1.1-31

Best regards?

I looked in the DFU folder but could not find it. Just checked again and found it.

New beta release: v1.1-39

New beta feature:?
When in zero span mode and AFTER you enabled DISPLAY/CALC/QUASI PEAK you can set CONFIG/EXPERT CONFIG/MORE/DECAY or ATTACK. both in ms
This will allow you to optimize the decay/attack times for measuring transient signals at a fixed frequency
Default attack and decay times are 0ms, e.g. instantaneous.

This release is using a lot of "cleaned" code so anything can go wrong.
Do not use this release if you must have a reliable tinySA.
