A comment to the TinySA.exe

Hi Erik

I slowly learn to treat the TinySA the right way.
One funny detail is that the vertical grid lines for the Log sweep show up when Center frequency is set to 0 and the span to max frequency.

The ini file need and update like Herb has pointed out as the Level per dB must be 32 and not 2 and Herb mention the -125 should be changed to -128 why I have not figured out.

Kind regards

Kurt


 

TinySA internal for calculation use measure?data * 32, for not send negative values additional add 128
This 32 multiplier need for not use slow floating point calculations, and give error 1/32 ~ 0,03 in dBm (measure step is 0.5dBm, and other is calibrations error)

And this values used for get correct data in program, need substract 128 and divide on 32

Kurt,
? When I originally ran TinySA.exe the levels displayed in the application were 3dB different than those on the tinySA display.? I questioned Erik about the difference and he said it was caused by the "zero level" value under the 'Settings'.

? Per Erik, "If you go to the setting tab in TinySA,exe the "zero level" should be set to 128".

?Also per Erik, "zero level' values other than '128' are an error in the initial automatic configuration of TinySA.exe.?

My understanding is the 'zero level' setting will be depreciated in a future TinySA.exe release.? Until then I've just make it a habit of changing the 'zero level' setting to '128' whenever I update the TinySA.exe application.

Further comments on TinySA.exe from Erik:

1.? Is there a tinySA.exe software manual available??

? ? ? ?"No tinySA.exe was my swiss army knife SW for SA experiments, too complex for anyone else. I still need to simplify and create some wiki pages"

2.? When I right click on the tinySA.exe screen and "select marker", I don't see a marker display.? I have yet to figure out how to turn markers on.

? ? ? ?"Only automatic markers are implemented. No manual markers yet"

Automatic markers are implemented by setting a threshold for marker display.? Manual placement is a much needed addition to TinySA.exe.

Hi Herb

Thank you for the comments. DiSlord has also clarified why these two settings are made

I am sure Erik will update the ini file accordingly als the weird behavior with log frequency settings

Kind regards

Kurt
