New FW release: Added option for fixed 10 gridlines


 

New FW release
Version V1.4079

Changes:
- Setting CONFIG/MORE/MINIMUM GRIDLINES to zero forces the grid to always be 10 lines starting at the start of the screen like used in some other spectrum analyzers.

This release is for both tinySA Basic and Ultra

Erik,
? ?This is a very useful release and, in my opinion, a fixed 10 grid spacing should be the default configuration with the option to change to other grid spacings.? A 10-grid spacing is conventional for the Agilent, Tektronix and R&S spectrum analyzers that I have used.

Ten grid spacing is especially useful when eyeballing measurements in the time domain (zero span) in lieu of using markers. In the figure below, if you divide the total time (50mS) by 10 you get a grid spacing of 5mS/div and can easily estimate the large data packet is 20mS wide without using markers.



Your continued technical support of both tinySA models exceeds any of the other hobbyist grade spectrum analyzers that I have purchased for much more than the tinySA Ultra.

The fixed 10 grid lines is a very useful addition, Erik - thank you! - Otto Schellin


 

Hi Eric,

Tried today to update my Ultra but i get the black screen.? The connection and USB cables are checked and ok.
I installed my backup i made before and the Ultra started again.

This the current version of the firmware :

tinySA ULTRA

Any idea why the update fails?

Hi Eric, ?forget my email. ?I was using the wrong version. I have both TinySA’s and mixed the versions.?

Hi Erik, do you have a link to the release notes for previous versions? I can't seem to find them if they are available,

Thanks,

See message? /g/tinysa/message/10590?

Thanks, Herb. That looks like release notes for the Ultra. I don't have an Ultra. But do appreciate the response. I will look them over anyway as I might get an Ultra later.


 

Couldn’t agree more with everything hwalker just said above. thank you for taking my request of 10 grid lines to a vote and making such a fast firmware upgrade to implemented it. I’m flabbergasted with your capacity of development of this tiny apparatus we all use and love best, Diogo.

Here's a link by the same author for release notes for the tinySA 2.8" ...?/g/tinysa/message/10037

Herb?


 



Here's how great 10 gridlines work for me. With 80 MHz span, 10 lines clearly help me visualize DVB-T emission - the kind of noise I have to get away from when coordinating frequencies for wireless microphones.


 

Is it possible to rotate the screen 90 degrees?? sometimes it is necessary to monitor the signal level and it is not very convenient to hold the device horizontally when the antenna is wound on the device itself.


 

Agree it would be nice but the code would increase a lot an speed will be slower so no priority?
