We just received our PCR4200, but I’m not exactly sure about the support for it in Spike currently? It connects and shows a spectrum view. But none of the controls in Spike seem to be specific for the PCR4200, for example, I have no idea of which channel I’m controlling.
According to the PCR4200 manual, this should be possible to do in Spike, but nowhere in the Spike manual is PCR4200 mentioned except of how to connect to it. Nor how to for example sweep with one channel and use the other three as real-time channels. And real-time mode is greyed-out (not clickable) in Spike.
Hi Jonathan,
Spike can only control one channel of the PCR4200 at a time. You can change which channel is controlled using the Utilities -> Diagnostics selection. Each channel will behave identically. Support for the PCR4200 in Spike is primarily to assist with troubleshooting in network configuration and to make single channel spectrum analysis measurements using the receiver.
The full power of the PCR4200 is exposed through the API. There you can access the multi channel streaming, phase coherent measurements, and simultaneous sweep + stream.
The API files can be downloaded from our SDK here here,
