I have updated the PC App to
Note:? Any existing config database QtTSAprefs.db must be updated, it's not backwards-compatible.
?
Updated with improvements and new features. See the for details of how features work and how to update the database.
??
New:
Waterfall display.
Save sweep data to a CSV file continuously.
Github workflow now builds the executables for Linux, Windows and macOS directly in Github runners.
??
Improved:
Any marker can be associated with any trace.
Marker max/min tracking much improved and now with 9 levels.
All markers can have a delta marker.
Peak detection threshold and frequency boundary lines de-cluttered.
All Python files moved into 'src' folder.
?
Please report any or start on the Github pages , not here.? It would be interesting to know on here if the macOS executable works ok since I can't test it.
?
Thank you to Clive, Bill, povnz and xros for testing and contribution of ideas.

Ian,
When I attempt to execute the app, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
? File "QtTinySA.py", line 1805, in <module>
? File "QtTinySA.py", line 1191, in mapWidget
? File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

I had the same.
When I deleted ~/home/config/QtTinySA/QtTSAprefs.db all worked again.

I try to run QtTinySA v1.0.2. Command prompt screen pops up but nothing is running.
QtTinySA v0.11.7 is working fine. Windows 10 laptop.

Ooops, typo, must be ~/.config/QtTinySA/QtTSAprefs.db
|
in Windows the c:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\QTtinySA\QtTSAprefs.db must be deleted
Replace the 'xxx' with your Windows user name.

Trying to download the QtTinySA_win.zip package, both Chrome and Opera flag the download as having a virus.? The others seem OK.??
Any tips on how I can get the Windows package?? "Make it up from source code" is not an option.
Best regards, Don Brant

I have Windows 7 professional 64 bits and the QtTinySa program does not work. Error: api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll. Is there a solution?

It doesn't work on Windows version < 10 and it's 5 years since Microsoft ended support for Win-7.
You could install Linux as a dual-boot system if you do not wish to upgrade Windows.

I believe you'd also have to use an older version of Linux,?or at least older versions of Python and Qt.? On Fedora 41 with Python 3.13.1 and Qt6 yields this:

OK, that was my bad - i'd missed the need to update the Database,? Deleted the old one and tried?again.? Maybe a Fedora specific issue and it gets past the previous error, copies the new database, flashes on the screen and then fails?with:
[user]@[machine]:~/QtTinySA/src$ ./QtTinySA.py
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
QtTSAprefs.db copied from /home/[user]/QtTinySA/src/. to /home/[user]/.config/QtTinySA QtTSAprefs.db open: True ?Connection = "settings"
QtTinySA v1.0.2
The Wayland connection experienced a fatal error: Protocol error
Just to ensure I've not done something else ignorant, I'm going back through all the prerequisites, again.

Hey, Mikey! It works!
ran: pip install --upgrade [name] Against all dependencies listed, a few updates accomplished and tried it again - it launches.? Now to try it with my updated TinySA Ultra connected

Well done.? I use kubuntu 24.04LTS on my desktop machine but it works on my Pi4 OS12 (which uses Wayland) and my ideapad with Lubuntu 24.10.
It uses PyQt5 not PyQt6.? I will update to PyQt6 eventually.

That's because the packing system of QtTinySA is not okay. I released my own version of QtTinySA which doesn't have this virus warning. I suggested the author to switch to `pyinstall` for packing the software. He switched to `pyinstaller` for packing software for windows. But still some virus were detected by virustotal. Either his computer has virus or something wrong with the code itself. I made my version of QtTinySA with pure source codes and virtualtotal said no virus.
|
I didn't build the executables on my machine this time, I used Github workflow pyinstaller 'actions', which I had to learn how to do and then experiment with to get it right.? ?When I downloaded the result to my machine, Windows Defender did not flag up any problems with it.? I am pretty certain that I do not have any virus on my PC because I almost never use Windows on it and it is fully up to date with MS security patches and Windows Defender scans show nothing.? I have also tried the 'nuitka' compiler but that was worse.? It's possible that I have some Python packages that are out of date on my Windows machine,.
??
I give up.? I will top building it for Windows and attempting to support Windows users since I have no use for a Windows version and I will delete the Windows exectutables.
