SDR2-CF/SDR2-OEM-CF Configuration Guide rev 1.0 Configuration Menu Reference

4. Configuration

Reference

You can use menu functions to manage files, configure and communicate

with the device attached to the data port, set date and time, set up output

messages, download data, configure the storage media, and control the

SDR2-CF without using the record button.

4.1 Main Configuration Menu

The SDR2-CF's core functions are accessed from the Configuration menu

(see Figure 4.1) using terminal software. The Configuration menu includes

functions for controlling both the SDR2-CF and the attached device. A

number of the Configuration menu items either prompt for input or execute

immediately, and therefore have no associated sub-menu.

The Configuration menu also provides feedback during recording. Status

fields, on the right-hand side of the Configuration menu, indicate

approximate recorded file size in bytes, bytes dropped because of buffer

overflow (ideally zero), and a telltale for the minimum free space in the

buffer (527 kilobyte maximum). In addition, the logic states of the RTS,

CTS, and DTR lines of the data port are displayed. The DTR line is

designed to source 3.3VDC for optionally supplying low-power devices

(100mA max).
