Self Test failures from New TinySA Ultra --- Amazon purchase of ZeenKo unit from SDRGEEK Store

 

Just received the TinySA Ultra and it fails the self test.
?
Didn't see all of the comments about clones until I tried to set the unit up,? but need to know if any other users have any experience from this ZeenKo unit from this Amazon seller,? SDRGEEK store?
?
Thanks

SDRGREEK STORE is not on the approved WiKi list of dealers it may be possible that you may, have a knock-off or clone.
Which selftest failed? Did you preform the signal level setup? Did you connect port 1 and 2 correctly? Did you turn on the calibration signal to 30khz?
You need to give more info than just the selftest failed.

You did not buy from an authorized seller so you probably have a clone.? You bought it from Amazon so I suggest you return it.

Hi again FYI;?
  • Aursinc on Amazon
  • SeeSii store on Amazon
Are the only stores on Amazon that are on the approved list.

Cable is connected correctly.... CAL to REF.
?
Self test freezes at test #1...."Above Critical".
?
Repetitive screen touching advances the 'self test' routine.
?
The following tests 'Passed':? 6, 8, 9, 12, 13.
?
All others either 'Signal Level Fail': (3, 4, 7, 10, 11, 14) or? 'Above critical': (1, 2, 5,).
?
Where do I find the 30 KHz Cal signal that you are referring to?? What's the path to it?
?
?
Additional anomalies:
?
Brightness adjustment default is 70%.?? Changing the brightness with the jog wheel freezes the instrument.
?
?
Additional question:
?
The various online info infers that I can use a Windows (10) OS to interface with the instrument as soon as I insert the instrument to my USB port and the kernel/driver is supposed to be self-executable.?
?
What is supposed to happen upon insertion of the device to my USB port?
?
?
Thanks.

Ignore the post about the 30 kHz signal, it should be 30 MHz and its automatic when doing a selftest.
?
Your tinySA (clone?) is very bad quality, strongly suggest you return it and buy from authorized seller such as R&L instead

Thanks....I'll be returning it in the coming days.
?
Although I have indeed read the wiki? and looked at some videos,? I do need some additional guidance and info....I would want to interface it with my? Windows 10? and I'm unclear as to whether just plugging the genuine? Ultra? instrument will present a GUI upon insertion into the USB port????
?
Also, does it function on a Windows XP....I've got several of these with decades of technical software, and programs that were/are no longer supported and only work on Windows.
?
Thanks

Plugging it into a windows 10 computer should automatically load the serial over USB drivers needed to communicate with the tinySA. To control the tinySA from the PC you have to download some SW, see:

Download the PC SW on the XP machine and see if it starts.?
