Re: [Flexradio] Found the FLEX-3000 latency problem
Hi Dudley, I'd updated the bios and every driver in the system. I tried changes in the bios. Then I spent a night disabling every device/driver that wasn't absolutely necessary for minimal computer operation. Then I physically removed every unnecessary card and drive. Then I uninstalled all of the software except XP and DPC Latency checker. I disabled all unnecessary parts of XP. I reinstalled XP. I changed the memory. I reduced the memory to 1 meg from a known good computer. Nothing made any improvement to the latency. All that was left was the motherboard and processor. I finally got through to ASUS Tech Support. They couldn't help be because their computers were down, a bad sign, hi hi. Tech guy said all he could do was to tell me to download the new BIOS and to reset it to default anyhow. They would call me back when their computers were up for warranty replacement, still waiting for that call. Removed and Replaced the motherboard and processor. Latency fell to the floor. Reinstalled all of the programs, reinstalled all of the cards, HDD's, other drives and 4 GB of memory. Fresh install of Flex driver. Fresh copy of PowerSDR. A week down the drain to get up on XP. The radio is working fine now. Next thing, Load Crysis and play on-line tonight. That will give the processor a good thrashing to see what it is made out of and let me blow off some steam. I have a good baseline on my Vista Quad Core to compare against. Thanks again Dudley, and a special thanks to Neal. Neal and I exchanged emails for 3 days trying to sort this out. Well, I'm off to fight aliens and Nazi zombies. 73, Marty AB5GU In a message dated 5/21/2009 11:58:05 P.M.

Re: [Flexradio] Found the FLEX-3000 latency problem
As with all solved problems, replacing the motherboard made sense. He was seeing all of his devices show up on IRQ 18 no matter what we did. I am beginning to thing that for anyone having performance issues, the first thing to look at is the IRQ view of the Device Manager and what other devices are sharing the same IRQ as the firewire card! 73 Neal k3nc Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software Programming Services for Windows, OS X and Linux www.abrohamnealsoftware.com (540) 242 0911 On Fri, May 22, 2009 at 6:13 AM, brahman...@aol.com wrote: Hi Dudley, I'd updated the bios and every driver in the system.

Re: [Flexradio] Found the FLEX-3000 latency problem
In regards to a Firewire performance checker, both Dudley and I have looked, but due to the Firewire architecture, there are just not any Firewire performance tools out there to be found. I postulated at Dayton that you could setup a point-to-point Firewire based IP network and use some off the shelf IP network performance monitors to determine a raw bit rate throughput number, but I really don't have the inclination to cable up two PCs via Firewire to see if that really would have any benefit. My shack is in the if it ain't broke, don't change it mode of operation since I just got everything re-cabled and back on the air last week. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Jerry Flanders Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 10:20 AM To: Dudley Hurry Cc: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Found the FLEX-3000 latency problem There are some test programs available that can independently measure performance of various systems within the computer and report a metric.

The videocard (NVIDIA serie 9000) and firewire share the same IRQ !!! That's truly hideous. Is this an on-board FireWire controller? If so, disable it and get a plug-in card. If the firewire controller is on a plug-in card, move the FireWire controller to another slot (typically, just one slot over).

I cannot reliably move the sliders just one step at a time (but perhaps that's just me). And why, when I click, do the sliders move 5 steps at a time? -- not to the nearest 5 in the specified direction, but to 5 more or less than the current setting? E.g., if I had managed to set the AF Gain slider to 32, clicking to the right would take it not to 35 but to 37.

[Flexradio] Frequency change by sliding across panadapter
Wasn't really sure how to title this. Up until a day or so ago I was able to smoothly change the freq on my Flex 5K (1.18.0) by left clicking and holding while sliding across the panadapter. Now all of a sudden it will slide part way and then hang up. If I let up on the mouse and click again I can continue fine. I haven't changed anything that I can recall. Changing the freq this way on Betty works fine, no problems. The CPU usage is down around 10% to 15%. It doesn't change when the slider hangs up. Any suggestions?

OK, but wasn't the original problem in this thread the fact that Tim couldn't drag the panadapter without it hanging when Spur Reduction is off? He turned Spur Reduction on and fixed that problem, and now you're telling me that Spur Reduction has nothing to do with dragging the current frequency.

Re: [Flexradio] [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Frequency change by slidingacrosspanadapter
Clay, You are missing the point. You asked about dragging outside of the panadapter and the frequency still being changed (see where I reposted your quote). That has nothing to do with Spur Reduction being on or off. The state of the Spur Reduction control (on or off) has a secondary effect that manifests itself as a jittery display (not a smooth drag) and/or audio drop outs when dragging the console to tune the radio and it is related to the algorithm used to render the Panadapter when the DDS is being changed. My original reply to Tim contained a link to the Knowledge Center that describes the advantages and disadvantages of using Spur Reduction. Refer to the last paragraph. http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50380.aspx -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Clay W7CE Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 10:01 PM To: flexra...@flex-radio.

Re: [Flexradio] Frequency change by sliding across panadapter
Although I do not know if this was related to your specific problem or not, with a new database, Spur Reduction is on by default.

Re: [Flexradio] [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Frequency change by sliding acrosspanadapter
I prefer it that way Tim. The first time I didn't stop at the edge of the panadapter and kept going, I thought, Yes! I can easily make larger frequency excursions. Please don't fix this feature.

Re: [Flexradio] [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Frequency change byslidingacrosspanadapter
Clay, Since (as Tim noted) there is so much more data being generated when you drag the mouse w/ SR turned off, it is far more taxing on the computers resources (particularly on the video updates). Some computers and video cards handle it better and more gracefully than others. If yours handles it well, then you'd probably notice little, if any, difference. With SR on or off, the same thing is going on. Just lots more bits to deal with when it's turned off. 73, Dale WA8SRA Clay W7CE wrote: Here is the original statement: Up until a day or so ago I was able to smoothly change the freq on my Flex 5K (1.18.0) by left clicking and holding while sliding across the panadapter.

Re: [Flexradio] [SPAM] Frequency change by sliding acrosspanadapter
This is a function of raw processing power and what else is going on in the machine. The point is that with SR off, dragging the spectrum is much more expensive computationally as it sends a tuning command for each pixel dragged. This can cause lower priority threads (like the display) to stall if the CPU can't keep up.
