Step 3. Starting the SmartSDR for Windows Application
for the First Time
Turn on the 13.8 VDC power supply that is connected to the
FLEX-6000 Signature Series SDR. Start the FLEX-6000 by
momentarily pressing the power button.
The FLEX-6700 and FLEX-6500 SDRs have a front panel
display that initially shows the FlexRadio Systems logo and
then the text "Calibrating..." along with a green flashing LED
above the power button when booting up. The FLEX-6300
only has the green flashing LED above the power button when
booting up. Once the FLEX-6000 is ready, the LED above
the power button will be either solid green for units without a
GPSDO installed or will have an amber or blue LED, which
may be solid or flashing depending on the initialization state
of the GPSDO. The FLEX-6700 and FLEX-6500 SDRs will
display the radio model name on the front panel display.
Locate the SmartSDR application icon on the desktop as
shown below and double click on it to start SmartSDR for
Windows. (Note: your software version number may vary.)
The SmartSDR Radio Setup screen will be displayed. Right
click on your FLEX-6000 Signature Series SDR displayed on
the left hand side to select.
