Re: New tinySA failing Self-test after FW upgrade
While playing around with some code to also step through the 64 attenuator positions,? I noticed that 0.5 dB steps can be entered from the on-screen keypad but only only 1 dB steps can be programmed

Re: I originally asked: good source & non-expensive url for Attenuators
I did some thinking here, plus some math and testing, then I found an excellent youtube from W0QE describing all that was asked here :) The only reason NOT to check his presentation would be the time

Re: New tinySA failing Self-test after FW upgrade
There is already such an attenuator linearity test in the code. But disabled at the moment.
It steps through all 64 attenuator positions (0.5dB per step) and if all is well it should draw a perfect

Re: New tinySA failing Self-test after FW upgrade
Erik,
To take the drudgery out of manually entering 31 attenuator values, would it be possible to either add a module to TinySA-App (Settings?) that performs an extended attenuator test, as outlined

Re: Selftest errors
Thanks.
The attenuator seems bad. Suggest you contact your supplier for resolution while referring to this communication.

Re: What to do when you think you bought a tinySA clone.
Well, we have already established it is a fraudulent, and by the way illegal, fake.
I’m still in the process of trying to get a refund from banggood.

What to do when a selftest fails
If one or more of the self test of the tinySA fails AND you did NOT buy from one of the safe sellers (see wiki) you can do the following:

Re: New tinySA failing Self-test after FW upgrade
This could also be caused by an attenuator problem but it is not a big problem, just on the edge

Re: New tinySA failing Self-test after FW upgrade
It seems your attenuator is bad.
You can verify this by enabling the cal output at 30MHz (MODE/Cal Output/30MHz) and putting the tinySA in low input mode with center 30MHz and span 10MHz.

Re: New tinySA failing Self-test after FW upgrade
Can you post somewhat bigger pictures of both test 10 and 11 with their message? Not the final selftest status screen
