IQmonitor tool

Good night, stephan94

Before I forget, I want to ask you to use the latest version of IQmonitor Pro and demonstrate the StreamReader.ini parameters in StreamReader.log

This is not a whim, but a statement of the fact that after changing the StreamReader API, only IQmonitor Pro can work with both old and new versions of StreamReader

Now to the point of your question.

I repeated your experiment with the same frequency settings as yours. I used the Hot Bird as the source of the RF signal. According to the parameters of the transponders, they can be identified on RF (grey scale) frequencies.

In order for this scale to be inverted relative to the frequency scale that the antenna receives, it is necessary that the LNBStk<Lo parameter in StreamReader.ini

As experiments show, everything works correctly.

Success and health

Please send two ini and one log files.

For some reason your main form collapsed.

I see this for the first time

For all

When Kyiv was under siege and I did not know what would happen tomorrow, I tried to save the IQmonitor Pro program.

I put all my knowledge and soul into this program. So many new ideas and algorithms have been invested in it that similar

results in other programs will either not be for a long time or will never be ...

I removed all restrictions and prohibitions, and now the named keys have only the function of digitally signing the results.

Many features (including origami MER detection) are under development or testing.

The program is installed by simply unpacking the archive, which, due to site restrictions, is hosted on an external file sharing service.

The archive needs to be downloaded and simply unpacked - now the program will work as it was at the time of archiving (RAW version).

Changing -ini, -log and StreamReader files is at your own risk and responsibility.

For example, flie changed the coordinate of the program's main window, reporting level in the -log file to 1 instead of 5 in the -ini file...

Remember the rule:

If you do not know what and how a parameter affects, do not change it. And if it was unsuccessfully changed,

then return its value to what was written in the installation archive.

One more thing:

If you have a problem with IQmonitor Pro and you need my (or other members of the forum) help,

please state the problem in as much detail as possible and ALWAYS attach the archive with -ini and -log files.

Good luck and good health to all

I continue to work on the IQmonitor Pro program

Introduced a new mode of registration of the RF spectrum with the maximum graphical resolution (measurement cycles are carried out with a pixel step in frequency dF). In each cycle of Nm measurements (from 2 to 30) the noise level is determined (everything that is not a DVB-S2 signal). At the same time, the noise level in the RF spectrum decreases by the square root of Nm times.

The noise itself is displayed as a black curve, and its maximum level in each measurement cycle is indicated by the deviation of the gray curve from the specified noise level.

At the end of the spectrum registration, the average noise and maximum noise values are displayed over the entire frequency range (see the caption in the upper left corner of the spectrum)

Here are the latest results with a subtle hint of thick circumstances...

Greetings Yuri.
You can still surprise by further improving the IQ monitor.

I would be very happy if you would allow the horizontal dimension of the "spectrum" window to be expanded. As it is in version 1014. Currently it is not possible in version 1020.

Big thanks.

Hi Peter!

Unfortunately, I did not see on the forum your "wide" spectra, which you received in version 1014 ...

I'm having issues with the size of the program and am working hard to make it downloadable from this forum.

Now I do not see the number of users of the program, nor the results of its work.

Post your results on the forum in different versions and formats - only then will I know if it is possible to fulfill your wishes

Health and success!

Peon

Can this spectrum with a step of 5 kHz and a width of 2500 pixels be considered "wide"?

To what width and height would you like to stretch the spectrum?

Good luck

Hello Yuri.

Thank you for your willingness to fulfill my request. I would also like to ask you to save the vertical dimension of the spectrum window (760p) when you close IQmonitor. So far, after launch, I still have to adjust the vertical dimension to 760p. I use the "Spectrum" window size up to 5518x760p (4.19Mp).

In vain you thank me for your readiness to fulfill your request. I did not promise you anything, but only asked how great your wishes are.

It turns out that you want to increase not only the maximum horizontal size of the spectrum more than 2 times, but also its height.

I heard you, but I do not promise anything in this regard.

Understand me correctly: I work on the maximum decrease in the volume of the program and the memory resources required for it and the video card so that ordinary users with low -power computers can use it, and it could only be distributed from this forum.

Please show what the range 5518x760p looks like in CrazyScan, just publish it in a sized size.

All the best!

At the request of the respected Peon , I am adapting the IQmonitor Pro interface for desktops of different sizes. It is not simple !

Work on the program continues.

In version 1.0.2.5, work with desktops from 1280 to 5760 pixels has been debugged.

The program loader has been improved and, most importantly, the volume of the program has been brought to a size that will allow you to return to the distribution (download) of the program only from this site. This is important both for me (in terms of knowing the number of downloads) and for the site (in terms of increasing its popularity and authority).

A new Config button has been added, which dramatically increases the usability of the program as owners of many antennas with a large number of LNBs, which can now be individually calibrated according to the frequency of the internal local oscillator, compensate for the uneven amplitude-frequency characteristic of the entire receiving path, and determine and save its noise factor.

Below is an example of scanning - 36 transponders were locked in 77 seconds:

With CrazyScan, the spectrum was recorded in 77 seconds, and a blind search with a 3 MHz step took 548 seconds (which is 7 times longer) and locked 36 transponders:

Blind search in BlindScan2 mode took 23sec(spectrum)+68sec(BlindScan2)=91sec (which is 18% longer) and locked 36 transponders. Another transponder (37th) was found, but not locked:
