Hi all
Has anyone had trouble with dodgy data in the dBm field in the data returned from a sweep.? e,g, "sweep 520M 530M 21"
I am getting:
552700000 -:.000000e+01 0.000000000
You will notice that the "-" sign is intact, but the characteristic part (the integer before the decimal point) has been replaced with a colon ":"
It is always the same error pattern and only occurs in the second field of the data record.? I doubt it is a comm's issue as it would not affect the same character each time. I tried a couple of slower baud rates, but that made no difference.
I am sweeping selected bands and averaging the spectra using a running mean. When I get bad data I exclude it from the running mean so I am still getting valid results.
I have attached a log of the errors reported by my application.
