Dear satellite DX amateurs!
W ill soon be available, tthe privately developed, renamed and improved reporting application with extended functions for the GoldMaster SR-525HD device . :-)
The new project name of the development (New build name), "SR-525HD Diagnostic", version: beta 4.0
How its working the new software, what is the new fuctions?
If started this apllciation, viewed in the first main window the network Connection page.
"IP"
In the input box field, it is necessary to enter the IP address of the device, then press the "Connection" button. Based on this, the web API can access and connect to the device. It is important that the web environment and the device operate in the same network and domain.
(e.g. 192.168.001.100) After pressing the button, if the correct IP is entered, the interface of the main panel will appear, loading the data of the most recently saved "Report" file into the module.
(RF scan, i.e.) Spectrum analysis graph module
"SNR/Spectrum_Switch"
By pressing the switch, the (RF scan, i.e.) Spectrum analysis, and the SNR (i.e. Signal) monitoring graph function can be switched. By default, the option of (RF scan), i.e. Spectrum analysis is available.
"Satellite list"
In the case of (RF scan), i.e. Spectrum analysis, the DVB-T, DVB-S/S2/S2X reception source saved in the device can be selected from this drop-down menu for the test.
"Report list"
Loading and viewing archive reports that can be selected from the drop-down menu available in the device in the (RF scan), i.e. Spectrum analysis module.
"Export to JSON"
Export of completed RF scan, i.e. Spectrum analysis reports, to an external drive.
"OpenJSON"
Loading exported archive RF scan, i.e. Spectrum analysis reports into the RF scan, i.e. Spectrum analysis module.
"Create Report"
By pressing the function button, a BLIND SCAN-type examination of the reception source selected from the "Satellite list" drop-down list, the Spectrum analysis is started.
(The parameter settings for the test are automatic, according to the LNB, DISEqC, Tone, Polar modes stored in the hardware, so no separate settings are required.)
e.g. 19.2 E Astra, or
28.2E Astra HL
During the test, the status indicator displayed on the inactive main panel shows the readiness level of the measurement process. (The time content of the measurement process varies depending on the frequency range of the tested receiving source! 10 sec to XY minute.)
The completed RF scan, i.e. spectrum analysis graph, is displayed on the main panel.
19.2 E Astra, full spectrum and RSSI (Graph can be enlarged, filtered by selection)
or 28.2E Astra, HL spectrum 10714 H, and RRSI
or 28.2E Astra, HL spectrum with 10891 H frequency display, RSSI value.
In the floating window, that appears moving the cursor on the RF scan, i.e. spectrum analysis graph, and on the X axis, the frequency and parameter data for the receiving source are displayed and can be read.
"Information"
On the panel, the values of the parameter settings related to the measurement can be read.
FPS: Value of application communication data stream
Status: Status of the connection between the device and the application
Date: Timestamp of the test
Satellite position: Position of receiving source
Satellite name: Name of receiving source
Converter type: LNB type
Frequency: Oscillator frequency values
DSQ 1.0-1.1: Switch port
Tone: 22 kHz off or on (depends on LNB)
"Transponder list for SNR report"
After ending the BLIND SCAN, the (RF scan) i.e i.e. the Spectrum analysis graph completed, and the list of frequencies that appeared on the X axis became available. This drop-down frequency list selector switching to the second SNR monitoring graph module is automatically, and loaded according to the frequency.
(The second module, the SNR monitoring graph interface, can also be activated with the SNR/Spectrum Switch button, in which case the module will naturally be loaded with empty values.)
SNR (Signal) monitoring graph module
28.2E Astra, HL 10714 HL SNR (Signal) monitoring graph, also with LNB and PSU voltage graph display
28.2E Astra, HL 10891 HL SNR (Signal) monitoring graph, also with LNB and PSU voltage graph display
If the SNR (Signal) monitoring graph module was not loaded with the "Transponder list for SNR report" solution, the data can also be entered using the input fields.
"Frequency"
The value of the frequency to be measured, in units of MHz.
(e.g. 10714)
"Symbol rate"
Symbol speed
(e.g. 22000)
"Polarization"
Select the receive polarization from the drop-down list.
(Horizontal, Vertical)
"Tone"
Selection of audio frequency switching mode of LO low and HI high reception bands from the drop-down list.
(e.g. KU band 0 – Off L.O 9750, 1 – On L.O 10600)
"DISEqC command"
If several LNB units are connected to the system via a switch, it is necessary to select the number of the LNB port to be tested from the drop-down list.
(e.g. DISEqC port 8, EO1039F7)
"3D converter polling"
If the measurement is done with a RAMF 3D LNB unit, select it from the drop-down list according to your permission.
(0 – disabled, 1 – enabled)
"Setting the time (min.)"
Here, it is necessary to specify the measurement time interval, until which we want to perform the measurement, and the drawing the chart. The value can be specified in minutes, which can be from one minute to a time window exceeding the 24-hour measurement. It is important that this setting does not specify the cyclicity of the request, but its duration and time window content! The query is a data stream, so the measured values are continuously displayed on the graphs and are also modified between the variables.
"Start"
After pressing the button, the measurement process set according to the "Setting the time (min.)" time window begins. (If there is no specified value, the measurement has an infinite status!) The startted the measuring, the data is continuously updated on the Signal-to-noise ratio and "Voltages" graphs, and is also modified between the variables.
"Stop"
Stop any measurement process.
"Reset"
Delete all measurement results and data. By definition, this has no effect on already exported data.
"Export to JSON", "Export to xlsx"
Export of completed SNR (Signal) reports to an external drive in JSON or xlsx format.
"OpenJSON"
Loading exported SNR (Signal) reports into the SNR (Signal) module.
"Current data"
The first piece of information, "Processed data", i.e. the counter, specifies the number of responses to the device's queries from measurement cycles.
The "Alpha", "Beta", "Gamma" values determine the position of the 3D LNB. By definition, in the case of a zero-value 3D converter polling setting, the value is 360 degress.
LNB current specifies the current consumption value of the LNB.
Hopefully, an interesting and forward-looking development has been presented in detail.
I would like the attention of current and/or future GoldMaster owners who are interested in the development to help further work with their testing!
It is possible to apply by PM, further details will be sent in a reply letter.
Thank you for your attention, the developer Csnyi and SaTom :-)

Sorry for the language mistakes.)
