"Help" Console Command #console_commands


 

Erik,
? ?I combined this request with another topic so you may have missed it.??When you get the time could you post what the "help" console command returns?? I'd?like to know what commands are available for use with the tinySA.? Just a list is fine, no need to explain.? I'd like to eventually contribute to the group by producing a console command document like the one by Larry on the NanoVNA groups.io.

- Herb


 

Here they are:
version reset freq saveconfig clearconfig data frequencies scan sweep test touchcal touchtest pause resume trace marker capture vbat vbat_offset help info color if attenuate rbw mode spur selftest x y i v a b t e s m p w o d threads

The single letter commands will need a bit of explaining :-) t.b.d.


 

If I can see clearly, the one-letter commands can be identified from the help made by John WA2ZFW.
HBTE / Files / WA2FZW - M0WID ESP32 - ILI9341 Version of the TinySA folder.

But wait, there's more! We are slowly but slowly implementing a complete serial command handler that when complete should allow you to do anything that you can do with the touch screen. We are also re-arranging the touch screen menus into a more logical hierarchy and will eventually provide the capability to set everything vis the web interface!


 

John,

I guess you did see the tinySA wiki


W.r.t the console commands I agree single letter commands are not easy to understand.
Can I propose some changes?

Sweep Settings:

    FOCUS->ZEROSPAN  (zerospan is the regular technical term for this type of measurement)

Display Options:

    GRID REF->REF (one word)
    GRID SCALE->SCALE (one word)

Debugging and Troubleshooting Commands: REGISTER->REG (less letters to retype if you are doing register level debugging) REF_FREQ->CAL (is is actually more a power level calibration output)

Focus is not exactly the?same as "ZEROSPAN". I?do plan on putting that option back.

The "GRID" commands will be separate. The current structure makes the?two-word idea difficult!

There are two "REG" commands; "REGISTER" and "REGDUMP"; You only have to type "REGI" or "REGD" to distinguish them.

It's still a work in progress (as is even completed software)!

? ? I'm uncertain how the help file John posted correlates to the console commands list that Erik provided by sending the "help" console command to the tinySA.

Herb,

The commands you recognize are the same as the nanoVNA. The returned data per trace is only one number as the power measurement is scalar and not a vector
Next to the nanoVNA level commands there are a number of low level commands. These can be used to scan any amount of points in one scan.

If you enable the tinySA.exe output logging you will see the commands used.

tinySA specific commands:
?
mode low|high input|output
spur on|off
attenuate 0..31|auto
rbw 2..600|auto
if {freq}? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Sets or shows the first IF
v 0|1? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Selects the LO for next commands. v0 is for setting the frequency of the RX SI4432 (effectively the IF), v1 for setting the LO of the first mixer.
selftest 1..3
x addr {value}? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Sets of reads SI4432 registers, addr and value use hex without 0x
o 240000000...960000000? ? ? Sets the frequency of the SI4432 in Hz
a 240000000...960000000? ? ? Sets start of a scan in Hz
b 240000000...960000000? ? ? Sets stop of a scan in Hz
s 100...1000000? ? ? ? ? ? ? Sets the number of points to scan
m? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Perform sweep en return RSSI

The command set will change


 

Erik,
"Save" command returns as "Save?".
It doesn't seem to be on the command list.
I want to save the settings in "Preset", (store 0 ... 4).
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for your work.

The save command is not yet enabled.
Please remind me if not in the next FW release


 

Thank you!!

Erik,
I am testing the commands and have not resulted in the commands below:
trace {store | clear | subtract}
?
For these commands everything works fine:
trace {dBm | dBmV | dBuV | V | W}
trace {scale | reflevel} {value | auto}

Thank you!

?Igor,

The only way they can be referenced is through mistyping a trace command and having the help screen reply back.? The commands should currently be considered reserved.

? ? I believe Erik will either remove them from the trace help screen or or implement them in a future release - if enough users show an interest in them.? The 'clear' command caused Erik the most problems during beta testing.

Thanks for the answer.
I'm looking at the commands. I like to leave the settings saved in a txt file.
When using "clearconfig", I restore the settings.
Thank you again!!
73 !!
