[Elecraft] W1 software updates
I've been in a programming mood lately and have added a few new features to my W1 software. One program now offers 3 meter faces: analog, digital, and tiny. Analog is dual meter, optionally providing "lollipops" with digital readings; digital, with VU meter display; and tiny, offering units of W or dBm along with color coded SWR. Screenshots and one-click run are available at: http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/elecraft/w1/ I also added a little program at: http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/elecraft/antBw/ to measure antenna bandwidth. Bypass your ATU and change to the band of interest first, then start it up. It will loop through the frequency range, tx at 1W, measure SWR, go to rx, and continue. A file is generated that you can plot then plot. Please email direct (offlist) with any problems and I'll try to sort them out. Thanks! 73, Mike ab3ap __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Elecraft] W1 software testing help
If you have a W1, I hope you can take a few minutes to help me test software. The software runs, but the test is to see if it can be run with a single click from a web page. I'm fairly new to that aspect. If you'd like to test it, can you please follow the directions below and email me offlist whether it worked or not? And if not, what OS, 32/64 bit, serial port info (motherboard or usb converter), and errors you received? Thanks very much! 73, Mike ab3ap 1. Connect to serial port and turn on your W1. 2. Go to: http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/elecraft/w1/ 3. Below the top two pictures is a little Elecraft icon that says "Click me". Click it and hopefully an analog face to the W1 will start up. (When prompted, it's safe to accept the certificate.) __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Elecraft] W1 software analog meter face
A few weeks ago I mentioned I was writing code to give the W1 watt meter a dual needle, analog face. I was unsure if any were interested but was surprised at the number of emails received. I've continued putting in the occasional hour or two here and there, knocking off the rough corners and polishing it up. Some screen shots are at http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/elecraft/w1/ Some of you might be familiar with my older K2 and W1 software that is in Java. At the time I didn't know how to package libraries, etc., so it was a bit of a chore to install the programs. I know how now and once that's complete the download link will be active. Till then, I thought I'd give a preview to those who might be interested. Now...to stop programming and get back on the air! 73, Mike ab3ap __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Thanks David.

[Elecraft] W1 software
I finally got a chance to download and try the W1 software. I could not get it to recognize the attached W2. The W2 Configuration utility recognizes the W2 just fine. I released the port when closing down the W2 Utility and then made sure the port speed was correct before launching the W1 software. Still no connection. Is there something else I needed to do?

RE: [Elecraft] W1 Software Functions?
Did you download the Windows software? If so the default display shows that you can monitor both the forward power and SWR as moving bars and with numerical readouts in their own windows. That's the default. Then you can start pulling up other data. Clicking "REVERSE" will change the SWR bar and data window to show reverse power rather than SWR. In the SETTINGS drop-down window you can chose between having the windows display and the LEDs on the W1 display average power or peak power, and you can select Peak-Hold LED ON which does just that: the LED on the W1 representing the highest power reached will stay on. For operating convenience you can adjust the behavior of the range and power LEDs on the W1 to have them "decay" more quickly or slowly when RF drops or, if you're not interested in the W1 LEDs because you are using your computer, you can turn them off. If you want your settings to be remembered next time you use the W1, don't forget to click on SAVE in the SETTINGS drop down! Ron AC7AC -Original Message- Can anyone tell me what the W1 software will display other than SWR? Will it show peak power or anything else? I downloaded the software a few weeks ago and the and I could only see the SWR function. 73 Zack N8FNR ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
