Simulation Mode


So, you haven't received your Psk Meter kit yet.  Worse yet, you haven't ordered one.  Or maybe you just want to see what this could do for you or you don't want to go live without a test drive.  In either event, this is your page.

PskScope allows you to test drive without having a Psk Meter or a transmitter on line.  Select the simulation mode from the following menu:



You can select either an Idle Signal as seen behind the drop down menu, or a pseudo random "text" signal.  The program generates the appropriate signal waveform for further analysis.  You can view the simulated signal in any of the 4 viewing modes.  Try that now.

A small dialog with a slider control opens so that you can vary the "transmitted power" level in the simulation mode.



Try switching to the "text" mode to see how the rotation process works on the sampled data waveform.

The nominal "transmitted power" level in simulation mode is 10 watts.  Grab the slider control and increase the power.  Watch the display turn YELLOW or RED depending on the degree of over drive.  Note how quickly the signal waveform degrades for various levels of IMD and/or RMS.  Flip back and forth between the signal and spectrum views to really get a feel for what overdriving the transmitter does to the signal.
