FT-1000 MP - EDSP and Keyer Controls
This section applies to the FT-1000 MP EDSP and Keyer controls.
When writing this section of the code with help of Rocco WU2M, we thought it would be
possible to control all of the EDSP menu settings via the CAT commands. In fact the problem
was more complicated and we have to explain below the logic of the EDSP CAT commands to
allow you to understand how to use them from the program.
General information and limitations
When you change the Mode/Filter or you key the rig (RX/TX), the FT-1000MP processor
calculates new EDSP conditions by reference to the menu settings. Since It is not possible
to access the menus via the CAT commands, after you send an EDSP command from
the computer, these settings are lost as soon as you change a parameter like
Mode/Filter or RX/TX !… Please don't be surprised but note TRX-Manager has been written
to reset the transceiver to the program's settings provided you KEY the transceiver from the
program.
To use EDSP from TRX-Manager, you have to switch EDSP settings to ON from the rig
before changing them from the program (you may switch some of them to OFF via the CAT
commands…).
RX-EDSP and TX-EDSP windows
You have to switch EDSP ON in order to control the EDSP via the program.
EDSP control is possible from the RX and TX-EDSP windows (Transeiver EDSP submenu or
tool-bar buttons ). These windows work in conjunction with the Monitoring module.
Controls are as intuitive as possible. RX-EDSP TX-EDSP and AF Filters commands are mode
related. Due to an incompatibility with rig menu settings, the RX-EDSP ON button allows you
to enable or disable RX-EDSP by CAT and not to switch it to OFF.
The Default button allows you to quickly send your EDSP Default settings (
Tools/EDSP/Defaults).
The Initialize button allows you to retrieve the control via CAT if you lose it : remember that
the FT-1000MP comes back to its internal settings each time you change a condition from the
rig (TRX-Manager is only able to detect modes and TX/RX changes).
