v1.1.00

Changes:

  • Use dynamic calibration data calculations

  • Change calibration logic (now more easy control calibration data)

  • Fix saved bmp header, now bmp file open in all software

  • Update touch calibration procedure, need touch this point (mark as *), not use screen corner, this allow more correct calibrate

  • New 6x10 font

  • New medium size Marker plate for small screen

  • Added 5x7 and 6x10 font support, use adaptated font size for menus for small screens (H devices and 320x240 V2)

  • 5x7 fonts used in calibration / grid values / frequency / menus

  • Added new v3.6 hardware support (maybe a replacement SI5351 on MS5351), see Expert settings

  • Now correct reset USB connection on software reset (H4)

  • Init i2c bus devices on low speed, change on max speed after (i hope this allow fix problem vs hang on first power on)

  • 2x increase wait time for SD card (also hope this fix errors on old slow cards)

  • Added dump firmware to SD card. See expert options (save as xxx.bin file)

  • Add backup feature, this allow save some settings (freq range / points count / jog step / leveler mode / bandwidth or avg / last used slot)
    Backup restore settings only for stored on flash slot (not work for RAM calibration data)
    By default loaded 0 slot (if no backup enabled / on error / no battery)

  • Added measurement module (MEASURE):

  • XTAL and LC neasure (S21). It allows you to automatically measure the parameters of quartz or LC filters (connect in series between ports, or how shunt ports are connected and DUT to ground). The measuring range is the center of the resonance and the resonance itself should be clearly
    visible on the screen.

  • Measuring cables, the initial frequency - minimum, final - must be such that the cable length is more than 1/4 of the wavelength, automatically measures the length, characteristic impedance, loss at the point of the active marker. The measuring range is chosen so that the Smith is rotated clockwise 180 degrees, the most important point for this measurement is at marker 1. The shorter
    the cable, the higher the maximum frequency.

  • Add Resonance search measure. Search frequency vs X = 0. (or more closest point)

  • Added module for normalization of impedance (DISPLAY-> PORT Z 50 -> XX), allows you to see what the DUT would be if the device had the same impedance as it. Works for two ports, which means filters can be measured as well. This will allow you to measure 75 ohm systems, or even higher-impedance filters (there are limitations, the higher the impedance, the lower the dynamic range). Calibrate as usual to 50 ohms, no matching adapters are needed.

UI menu text fixes:

  • Added multi color string, use color index 25 (LCD_LINK_COLOR) for set color (default color dark blue: R = 0, G = 0, B = 192)

  • Show selected Smith value in marker menu

  • Copy Set E-Delay button to calibration (some users use custom edelay for calibration)

  • Use one button for marker search min / max, move buttons from MARKER->SEARCH to MARKER menu

  • Move MARKER->MEASURE menu to main screen menu

  • Added DATE/TIME input (devices support RTC)
    See CONFIG->EXPERT SETTINGS
    Date input keyboard (need in YYMMDD format)
    Time input keyboard (need in HHMMSS format)

  • Added Enter button image (replace x1) for SCALE/REF/DATE/TIME input

  • Lot of cleanup / optimisation
