External modulation function
Hello,
I was reading through the documentation and was curious about the external modulation function. Does this allow one to input through the high input either modulated audio or a modulated tone that is of a different frequency from the built in 800hz tone? Thank you, - Mike |

Some suggestions:Erik, ? ?The level/dB setting was set to a default value of '2' which is why no sweep data was displayed. Once I changed it to '32' the sweep data displayed properly.?

The cfg file in that directory is over a month old. level/dB changed from '2' to '32', Zero Level(dB) should be -128? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?After level/dB changed from '2' to '32' sweep data is visible. After the above changes, the Mockup device is still the only device shown in the SerialPortSelector but all else is working correctly.? This is probably only a issue if more than one tinySA is connected, or a tinySA and a NanoVNA are connected since they use the same VID:PID. Note: I just connected a NanoVNA to another port on my computer and, after File->Connect only displayed the Mockup device. Returning to the Spectrum screen locked up the application when a sweep was attempted. - Herb |
Re: ISSUE REPORT: New release: improved screen capture and better trigger status
Some suggestions:
- Try again to connect, sometimes it will a second time. - Set level/dB in the settings screen to 32 as the internal data format has changed - Set the RBW to Auto. setting to 3kHz will be extremely slow as tinySA.exe can not yet scan in fast mode |

I REALLY HATE the windows serial port implementation in VCErik, ? I tried unplugging the port and cycling power on the tinySA.? The Mockup device is still the only selection that shows up in the Connect dropdown list.? The primary problem is that even though the tinySA serial port is not showing up in the tinySA.exe dropdown list it is successfully receiving commands from the application. The tinySA.exe screen is not plotting whatever data is being received back and it is not properly registering the tinySA serial port in the drop down list. ?I also noticed that 'Zero Level (dB)' value under the settings tab is still defaulting to -125. - Herb |

tinySA Feature: Units Display
#features
Erik has included features in the tinySA that even more expensive spectrum analyzers sometimes fail to include.? One of those features is an ample choice of display units.
The following logarithmic display units are provided: Default dBm units.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Optional dBmV units? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Optional dBuV units The following linear display units are provided: Optional Volts units? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Optional Watts units ? ?Most users will be happy with just the default dBm units but there are disciplines where the other display units are the standard.? The conversions from dBm are easy but having the tinySA do them eliminates errors and allows screen captures to show the correct units. ? ?It took Erik some time to get the automatic scaling to work seamlessly between all the different units, and is a example of his goal of providing features in the tinySA not seen in other devices in its price class. - Herb |
