TinySA-app display question


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

In the upper left corner of the display you can set Start, Stop frequencies.? Is the TinySA supposed to be set to these frequencies?? The app's display changes according to the settings.? But, the TinySA itself does not change.

thanks

Correct
The scanning mechanism used by TinySA-app is different from normal scanning so it can scan with many more points.
If this is confusing I can consider to update the scan information on the tinySA to at least reflect the range

Charlie,
? ?tinySA-App uses the very efficient 'scanraw' command for data transfers. This is a binary format that has the advantage of not being limited to the 290 point display limit of the tinySA.?

? In your example, if the display of the tinySA is set to, for instance, 100k-350MHz and in tinySA-App you enter start and end frequencies of 1 and 31 MHz with 500 scan points the 'scanraw' command will acquire 500 points of data between 1 and 31MHz and display the data in a graph without disturbing the tinySA's display.??

?If you actually want to remotely control the tinySA sweep settings you bring up the tinySA-App Comms window and enter 'sweep' commands from there.

Erik,
? I forgot to mention in my previous reply that if the user wants the tinySA display to match the start stop settings entered in tinySA-App, they can select the button with 4 right arrows before performing a single or continuous scan.

That's not the way that mine works.? If I select the 4 right arrows, the values (for example 1,31) are changed to the values from the TinySA (.001, 350).

Charlie,
? You're right.? I got that backwards as far as making the sweep settings match.? As you said you have to set-up the range on the tinySA first and then make tinySA-App match it by selecting the 4 right arrow heads.? Maybe Erik can add a second button with 4 left arrow heads that send the tinySA-App sweep setting to the tinySA?

? Currently, if you can't access the touchscreen and want to remotely change the sweep range you have to send a user command like: 'sweep 1M 31M'

Thanks for correcting my error.
