ExpertSDR2 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

5.7.5.2

OmniRig

There is an experimental function to synchronize any of our devices with an external device via

the

software.

Note:

·

Using the OmniRig software you can send a limited set of control commands. Available
control commands:
- Set VFO frequency, if no VFOB in the CAT protocol;
- Set VFO A frequency;
- Set VFO B frequency;
- Enable receiver's RIT offset;
- Set RIT offset; – Reset RIT offset;
- Enable transceiver's XIT offset;
- Set mode type;
- Enable SPLIT.

In the OmniRig menu you can find the settings of the OmniRig software.

Enable - set the Enable checkbox to control the receiver via the OmniRig software.

Set t ings - press the Set t ings button to open the OmniRig software settings.

Note:

·

    If  the  ExpertSDR2  software  uses  OmniRig  protocol  to  exchange  data  with  an  external
contest  log  software,  which  also  uses  OmniRig,  then  COM-port  and  other  settings  in  the
OmniRig software are not required.  Select  in  the  OmniRig  settings  any  idle  COM-port  in  the
system, to avoid conflict.
