RigExpert アンテナ アナライザーとのデータ交換

次の説明はRigExpert アンテナアナライザーに適用可能です。

1. アナライザーを手動で PC モード (又はPCとUSB ケーブルで接続し電源SWをON)にする。
2. Find the corresponding virtual COM port number. This port corresponds to the USB device with VID=0403 and PID=6001. Product descriptor of this device is the model of the analyzer (example: “RigExpert AA-230PRO”).
3. Open COM port with following parameters: 38400, 8N1.

All commands are not case-sensitive. Finish a line with either <CR> or <LF> (but not both). When a command is running, sending any character will abort it. Instead of a numerical value, “nan” (which stays for “not a number”) may be returned if the value cannot be evaluated.

Detailed description of the FRX command

This command is originally designed to let programs other than AntScope communicate with RigExpert antenna anlyzers.

Usage:

1. Send the ON command to turn on the RF board of the analyzer.
2. Set center frequency with the FQ command.
3. Set scan range with the SW command.
4. Send the FRX command and collect data.
5. Send the OFF command to turn off the RF board of the analyzer.

例：

ON
FQ145000000
SW10000000
FRX10
OFF
