Re: Sources of interference
You can measure the field strength of a source in dBuV/m if you change display units to dBuV and use a transducer calibrated in dB/m.? At a single frequency you can enter the tranducer factor (plus

Identifying which serial port the tinySA is attached to
The tinySA uses the same VID/PID as the NanoVNA so if you are writing a script or program to communicate with the tinySA, and both a NanoVNA and tinySA are connected to your computer at the same time,

Re: Sources of interference
I've already used mine for tracking power line noise t 300mhz using a
small yagi for that band.
With an untuned amplified .3M untuned HF loop I"ve tracked all sorts

Re: Jumping base line
Besides the faster speed and unlimited points, the tinySA 'scanraw ' command transfers corrected data - unlike the similar command on the NanoVNA which transfers raw data and requires you to

Sources of interference
A very useful use of the TinySA is to track down sources of interference.

Re: Jumping base line
Make sure you use the "scanraw" command i.s.o scan or sweep as scanraw can do unlimited points and sends data in binary, much faster

Great Gary,
Erik should be a big help if you have questions about either measurement.? You will want to look over the Wiki to learn how to identify spurious emissions within the tinySA itself and how

I intend on using it for general lab work like identifying and quantifying spurious and harmonic emissions.

Re: Jumping base line
lol, I already started writing PC software for it. Which would also compile for all 3 main OS's - windows, nixies and macs.
I've done a lot of SDR 2D/3D real time panadapter/waterfall spectrum graph

Re: Jumping base line
OneOfEleven,
You probably noticed the following:
1. The VDD and BOOT pins are available as a last resort for a user that can't access DFU mode in the usual way.
2. No SanDisk pads are available, so

Thank you Herb.
Am trying it with manual ref-level (-10dB) set, all appears OK now.
The auto ref-level code might need some tweaking by the looks of it :)

Jumping base line
Hi Erik
I was wondering what you think might cause the base line to jump up and down like this. I'm using your latest firmware as of today, but it was the same with your previous firmware

Gary,
What is your current application of the tinySA?? Knowing how the tinySA is being used by its users would probably help Erik to beef-up the Wiki in those relevant areas.
