You will have to calibrate _everything_ in the path, and of course that includes the signal processing in the FPGA as well as anything in the host-based signal processing path. And yes, pretty much all of this varies depending on a large variety of settings. E.g., you'd want to calibrate for

Michael- I'm trying to "calibrate" the flow-graph of the am_rcv_plasma_mod.py so that the values displayed in the final window represent actual input amplitudes. The first step to do this would be to account for the internal gain; so I need to divide through by a factor of 10^(gain) where ga

Ok, I can accept that this device was not intended to be used as a calibrated measurement device, but maybe I can give it a shot. If I keep the decimation constant, and stabilize the temperature, what other considerations do I need to take into account (other than the obvious one, ie gain) for

Thanks again! That worked great. As for who wrote the script, well, I adapted it (with much help from people on the discussion list) from a pre-existing wfm-based script, if I recall correctly. eric On Fri, 16 Mar 2007, Michael Dickens wrote: On Mar 16, 2007, at 12:01 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED

Thanks- I'm using the DC-30 MHz basic RX board. So by recording the input signal, recording the value displayed on my "time series" window, and knowing the gain (0-20db if memory serves) I can calibrate the hardware so that I can back out the original voltage levels at the input? What impact

Michael- thanks very much for your help! Your changes have fixed the "control buttons covered" issue. I'll have to study what you did; I don't know any wxPython at all and as you've mentioned it's not easy to wade through existing documentation. Two other questions- 1) do you happen to kn

In gr-wxgui/src/python/scopesink.py (and ...2.py), is it a bug or feature that the "size" isn't passed through to the actual objects being created (like it is in fftsink.py)? If a bug, I can fix it quickly; if a feature, then can someone offer an explanation? Thanks! - MLD ___
