For Narrowband/Wideband recording/DDC

@ 1 MHz (float 2 x 32 bit): 28.8 GBytes/h

Option Wideband Recording

@ 1 MHz (integer, 2 x 16bit): • 3600 (s/h) x 1E6 (1/s) x 32 bit = 115 200 000.0 bits/h or 14.4 GBytes/h
plus about 10% for FFT data

Choose scaling of 150% at UHD (4K)

In the sample above 200kHz, 3 kHz and 500 Hz have been added.

In the past with old analog receivers it was always recommend to use the smallest possible filter. With go2MONITOR and go2DECODE this is no longer necessary and is even sometimes a disadvantage. Use a wider bandwidth, it will allow the system to apply its own correct filtering on the signal. Additionally out of signal disturbances can be used for optimization.

Sometimes a receiver connected by USB must be controlled over a longer distance. Then a second computer running the RCM is required.

Requierement

• USB Dongle prepared to work with a go2MONITOR AND an additional RCM computer.
• default.maw for go2MONITOR
• go2MONITOR version 3.2 or newer
• go2MONITOR Computer: Computer running go2MONITOR
• RCM Computer: Computer running RCM, connected to receiver

Setup go2MONITOR Computer

• Disable the firewall (can later be configured)
• Install the go2MONITOR software
• Open SystemConfiguration.xml
• Replace in FLD_IP_ADDRESS the localhost (127.0.0.1)with the IP-address of the RCM Computer:

<MSG_OBJ_ADD>
<FLD_NAME></FLD_NAME>
<FLD_OBJ_TYPE>8</FLD_OBJ_TYPE>
<FLD_OBJ_ID>$RECEIVER_1_ID$</FLD_OBJ_ID>
<FLD_IP_ADDRESS>127.0.0.1</FLD_IP_ADDRESS>
<FLD_IP_PORT>60000</FLD_IP_PORT>
<FLD_CREATE_ALL_RECEIVERS></FLD_CREATE_ALL_RECEIVERS>
<FLD_OPTIONAL></FLD_OPTIONAL>
</MSG_OBJ_ADD>

• Install the dongle
• Start go2MONITOR and if requested load the go2MONITOR Computer default.maw (will be saved in the user directory)
• Close go2MONITOR

Setup RCM Computer

• Disable firewall (can later be configured)
• Install the go2MONITOR software (later you can remove unused files)
• Install the dongle
• Start go2MONITOR and if requested load the go2MONITOR Computer default.maw (will be saved in the user directory)
• Setup the receiver with Wideband receiver configuration tool
• Restart go2MONITOR and check if you can control the receiver.
• Close go2MONITOR

Operating

• Remove the dongle from the RCM computer.
• Start RCM.exe on the RCM Computer (DOS window ), see picture.
• Check if RCM works correct

Remarks:

• The USB-dongle should be connected to the go2MONITOR if no license sharing is activated.
• Be careful with higher band widths.
• Be sure that the required ports are open (also after a computer restart)
• Everything is done at your own rist
