NAME¶
rigswr - measure VSWR vs frequency using Hamlib.SYNOPSIS¶
rigswr [ OPTION]... start_freq stop_freq [freq_step]DESCRIPTION¶
rigswr uses Hamlib to control a rig to measure VSWR vs frequency:OPTIONS¶
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). Here is a summary of the supported options:- -m, --model=id
- Select radio model number. See model list (use 'rigctl -l').
- -r, --rig-file=device
- Use device as the file name of the port the radio is connected. Often a serial port, but could be a USB to serial adapter. Typically /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyUSB0, etc.
- -s, --serial-speed=baud
- Set serial speed to baud rate. Uses maximum serial speed from rig backend capabilities as the default.
- -c, --civaddr=id
- Use id as the CI-V address to communicate with the rig. Only useful
for Icom rigs.
- -p, --ptt-file=device
- Use device as the file name of the Push-To-Talk device using a
device file as described above.
- -p, --ptt-type=type
- Use type of Push-To-Talk device. Supported types are RIG, DTR, RTS,
PARALLEL, NONE.
- -C, --set-conf=parm=val[,parm=val]*
- Set config parameter. e.g. stop_bits=2
- -v, --verbose
- Set verbose mode, cumulative (see DIAGNOSTICS below).
- -h, --help
- Show summary of these options and exit.
- -V, --version
- Show version of rigswr and exit.
EXAMPLE¶
rigswr -m 209 -r /dev/ttyS1 14000000 14290000 50000 > cswr Scans frequencies between 14.000 MHz and 14.200 MHz with 50 kHz step on a TS-850 and records VSWR measurements in file cswr. After completion, cswr file contains the following lines:14000000 1.50
14050000 1.31
14100000 1.22
14150000 1.07
14200000 1.07
- Result could then be plotted with gnuplot:
-
DIAGNOSTICS¶
The -v, --version option allows different levels of diagnostics to be output to stderr and correspond to -v for BUG, -vv for ERR, -vvv for WARN, -vvvv for VERBOSE, or -vvvvv for TRACE. A given verbose level is useful for providing needed debugging information to the email address below. For example, TRACE output shows all of the values sent to and received from the radio which is very useful for radio backend library development and may be requested by the developers.EXIT STATUS¶
rigswr exits with:BUGS¶
Depending on keyer/QSK setup, transmissions in CW mode may not be modulated thus possibly giving a wrong result. Please report this situation if it happens.REPORTING BUGS¶
