Re: [Flexradio] Notebook computers

2006-06-26 Thread Dudley Hurry
Gary and others,

The speed of the laptop CPUs are also regulated by the temperature of the 
processors.  And yes some manufacturers (watch for slanted E) do not cool 
their processors enough and they actually have to slow down to keep from 
catching on fire..   Good quality laptops, you will get the speed you 
should.   The best way to verify the speed of the processor is to go to 
Intel's site, they have a utility that will give you the actual speed,  not 
what the OS is suppose to report to you.

[Flexradio] Latency Suggestions/AUdio buffer suggestions reasons

2006-06-26 Thread Robert McGwier
Please do a simple calculation when you want to set these latency and 
audio buffers so small to see that the requests are probably ridiculous.

The lower bound on latency in our code is at least 5 ms.  That is 480 
samples at 96000 sample per second and 240 at 48000.

There is absolutely NO REASON to set latencies to 2 ms.  We can't use 
it.  At 96000 samples per second set your latency to 5ms on your Firebox 
and 512 samples on your Delta 44 and your audio buffers to 512.  Any 
problems after that have to be attributable to local conditions (too 
many paranoia -bots gobbling ticks and blocking the system during disk 
accesses, etc.).

I regularly stress the heck out of the system here.  I run my Lynx L22 
at 128 sample buffers at 192000 and the display at 50 fps with audio at 
256 samples and dsp at 2048.  I have to have Avast on demand check out a 
disc access for a virus action to interrupt this or I have to try and 
send an email and again Avast sends it through a sniffing process.  The 
ring buffer resets fire and we are straight again in a sec.

At the settings I recommended above,  I can rock along at 40 wpm, send 
and receive email and listen to Toby Keith tell me he loves his bar on 
RealRhapsody and never hear a burp on my 3 GHz pentium.   Eric runs at 
low latency and frames per second at 15 or more for the display,  etc.  
He does this and has been developing on a low frequency celeron  which 
is an abacus in comparison to my computer.   He can no longer glitch the 
audio at all after our threading and buffer stall, etc. fixes in the 
last two months.  BUT,  I bet he has a huge difference from many of 
you.  He runs <> paranoia-bots AT ALL.  Take a lesson.  If you want 
to do twelve things and you want to scan every breath for a virus, run 
google desktop,  picassa,   spybot,  winpatrol, and Zone alarm,   you 
need a fast computer AND a high speed hardware accelerated video card.  
YOU get to decide.  If you want to run PowerSDR on a 1.8 GHz celeron 
laptop.  GO for it.  But don't use it to read email,   and be ready to 
sacrifice it to viruses, etc.  because these paranoia-bots are extreme 
hot spot performance killers.

Re: [Flexradio] Old notebook computer and Extigy OK?

2006-06-26 Thread Gary W Strong
Then, welcome to the Dell world.  The laptop power setting does not control
the CPU step down in these laptops.  I know, it is supposed to.  It seems
reasonable to believe that it should.  It doesn't.  These machines all run
XP Pro.  I am told it is a built-in "feature" of the CPU used in this laptop
series.  Perhaps there is a setting in the boot ROM?

I recently purchased a FireBox so I could use the SDR with a laptop.  I had
serious problems with the first laptop, a 1.6 Ghz Dell D600.  It works
sometimes, and other times I get just a pulsing audio.  It seems the stepper
on the CPU isn't working right when working with the Firebox.  It randomly
steps the CPU down even when running the PowerSDR and the Firebox.  I then
installed SDR on a 2 Ghz Dell D600 with Firebox and so far no problems.
Initially, there was a similar problem, but after rebooting, it now seems
fine and has been fine in subsequent reboots.  Has anyone encountered this

Alan,

A notebook 1GHz+ with the Extigy will work.  However, it will not have
the same dynamic range as our recommended cards provide.  In short, the
legacy cards (Extigy, MP3+, Santa Cruz, Audigy 2 ZS) will work in terms
of being able to receive and transmit.  You will notice a difference in
noise floor and more importantly large signal handling capability by
upgrading to one of our recommended cards.  Note that with a notebook,
the FireBox recommends a 1.5GHz CPU.

[Flexradio] SDR-1000 Operating Manual Update v1.6.2

2006-06-26 Thread Eric Wachsmann - FlexRadio
We are happy to announce that our Operating Manual has had a complete
facelift between version 1.6.1 and 1.6.2.  Our new volunteer editor Joe
AB1DO has done a fabulous job of putting this document in tip top shape
with regard to formatting and content.  Improvements are sure to
continue, but we wanted to get this version out to the public as soon as
possible since it is so far superior to what we had before.

Nice goin' Joe!

You can find the updated manual by going to www.flex-radio.com and
clicking on Downloads.  Note that you can keep up with the manual
updates just like the PowerSDR software using SVN.  See the TortoiseSVN
guide on the download page for more information.

Hi Mike, I think I was the one who posted that info.  I had the same 
problem, recording at home at 96 Khz and trying to playback with the 
built in sound system in the laptop.
I tried to reproduce the procedure I used, but the results were 
inconclusive.  I was asking for a mod to the program, because I believe 
the playback should be possible at any rate supported (audio) regardless 
the rate at which the original I+Q was recorded.

There is no method that I am aware of to playback 96kHz files on a
laptop.  I suppose you could probably rig up something with VAC...

The database format/file has not changed.  It is still an MS Access 2000
format.  You can use the database utility on our download page to import
previous modified settings.

[Flexradio] 96khz playback issue again

Hi all, seems to me I read here a few weeks ago or longer, a method to 
playback 96 kHz recorded waves on systems that dont support it, i.e. a 
laptop...  Or I might be wrong.

Problem is that I recorded on one of my systems at 96 KHz, and trying to 
playback for a demo on my laptop.   It really doesn't like it :) as it only 
supports 48 KHz.

Its either some workaround method, or getting a Presonus Firebox as the 
soundcard.

Oh, one more thing...was there a change to the PowerSDR database format?  It 
seems that for 1.6.2, my MS Access program wont open it.it complains 
about the file being a non-compatible format and wont open the file.  Any 
help here appreciated.

Thanks all,

A notebook 1GHz+ with the Extigy will work.  However, it will not have
the same dynamic range as our recommended cards provide.  In short, the
legacy cards (Extigy, MP3+, Santa Cruz, Audigy 2 ZS) will work in terms
of being able to receive and transmit.  You will notice a difference in
noise floor and more importantly large signal handling capability by
upgrading to one of our recommended cards.  Note that with a notebook,
the FireBox recommends a 1.5GHz CPU.

Re: [Flexradio] How fast of a PC do I need ?

2006-06-26 Thread Eric Wachsmann - FlexRadio
Ed,

The bare minimum CPU speed is 800MHz according to our spec.  If you want
to be able to multitask and turn on all of the bells and whistles, I
would recommend 2GHz+.  This really is not an issue if you are buying a
new machine today.  You can buy the $299 special from Dell and it will
do the job.  Upgrading to 1GB of ram will do you some good if you plan
on multitasking.

[Flexradio] Old notebook computer and Extigy OK?

2006-06-26 Thread Alan NV8A
My old 850MHz PIII notebook (with only USB 1.1) and an Extigy seemed to 
work just fine with the .WAV files from the Flex-Radio site. Is that a 
reliable indication that this setup would work OK with a real live SDR-1000?

I am assuming (but I could be wrong: it's been known to happen 
occasionally) that the Extigy contains a CPU that takes at least some of 
the load off the computer's own CPU.

[Flexradio] Bug in 1.6.2

2006-06-26 Thread Sergey Abramov
Hi, All.

Include TRX, include PowerSDR, works all well.
TX and  and once again RX all OK.
But as soon as follows the attempts to tuning the frequency, RX off, only noise.
It Is Noticed in the same way in this time of no programme realignment, noise 0 
Hz
are found in one place. Output from this situations OFF/ON Spur Reduction and 
OFF/ON Standby.
All newly work before the following striking MOX and attempts to adjust the 
frequency.

This bug exists only in program. Too most comes of switched off TRX.
Change buffer and other parameter do not give the result.
v1.6.1 works without problems.

SDR1k 1W + Home Made PA
Pentium D820 2.8GHz, Delta44, WinXP Pro SP2
