LEDs:
USB LED
This LED is lit when there is connection with the Tmate server.
LOCK LED
This LED is lit when the tuning knob is locked (see F3 button).
LCD DISPLAY
The Tmate 2 display shows many VRX parameters; the tuning frequency field also doubles as parameter
value indicator. When the frequency exceeds the 9 digits capability of the display, the entire field is shifted
one digit to the right (10 Hz resolution).
11. Memory banks
SDRuno supports its own memory banks. Considerable efforts have been put into the development of
such an important feature, in order to provide a powerful yet easy to use and efficient implementation.
11.1 Basic concepts
In SDRuno each memory bank consists of a numbe
r of “memory locations”. Each memory location is
composed of a number of data fields about a “reception channel” like frequency, description, RX mode
and so on. Physically a bank is saved as a disk file and loaded in memory when needed.
11.2 The memory bank file format
SDRuno uses its own extension (.s1b) for memory bank files but the file format itself is not proprietary: it is
a common CSV text file, a format that can be easily handled by many software tools.
11.3 GUI items added for memory banks management
In order to implement memory banks, some GUI items have been added:
-
A new window, the “Memory Panel” that is the control center of all memory related operations.
-
A new button on the “Main” window labelled “MEM PAN”.
-
A new button on the “RX Control” window labelled “MCTR”.
-
Some new keyboard shortcuts.
These controls are described in the following chapters.
