Stream Delay
Decoded streams can be delayed from .10 seconds to 10 seconds in millisecond incre-
ments. You can use the slider to coarsely adjust the delay value, or simply click on the
Delay (seconds) numeric field and type in a precise value. The Stream Delay can help
you time align multiple decoders and can be useful for multiple frequency networks.
Delays can not be set below the lowest value (one tenth of a second) due to buffering
requirements.
The delay also works as a data buffer, and it may be necessary to increase it if you are
running error correction. If you are getting dropouts on your decoder, try increasing the
stream delay.
Test Signal
For setup and calibration purposes, a Test Signal generator is included. Enabling the Test
Signal will interrupt program audio. You can generate sine waves from 1Hz to 80kHz.
You can use the slider to coarsely adjust the Frequency value, or simply click on the Fre-
quency numeric field and type in a precise frequency value. The Test Signal can be turned
on and off via GPI.
Decoder Dashboard
The Dashboard page provides a comprehensive overview of Decoder system activity and
status. The Dashboard presents three sections: graphic displays, unit status, and μMPX
receiver status.
The display section provides real-time indication of input stream performance. If the
Decoder is off, this display will appear to be frozen, and a “Decoder is off” message will
appear:
To turn the Decoder on, go to the μMPX Setup page.
