WHAT WILL THE DDS & SWEEP GEN SOFTWARE ALLOW YOU TO DO? PLEASE NOTE:THE PIC ASM OR HEX SOFTWARE IS NOT SUPPLIED WITH THE KITS OR AVAILABLE. WE ONLY SUPPLY PRE PROGRAMMED PIC CHIPS. Refer to the Software Notes for more detailed information & Use, Download the Sweep Readme document. The Software is designed to be used for a simple signal generator, but also has an inbuilt sweep function & with the addition of the Power Head Kit can also measure RF Power. Standard functions are Frequency Tuning, Step Size, Calibrate, Memory, Sweep Direction, Sweep Start Stop, Sweep speed, Fast Sweep, VFO/Sweep mode. With the addition of a Power Head Kit, it can also measure RF power in dBm, Watts, & Volts. The software does not allow for any display offset or Transceiver Radio functions, as it has been designed to make a useful piece of test equipment. A DDS suitable for building a Transceiver is the DDS Kits 1 &2. BASIC SOFTWARE SPECIFICATIONS 1/ Frequency range programmable from a minimum frequency of 1Hz, to a Maximum output frequency of 60MHz, ( Using a Osc4 30MHz osc module & DDS x6 multiplier ). 2/ Variable Rate Tuning & Adjustable Step Size 1Hz, 10Hz, 100Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz, 100kHz, 1MHz, 10MHz, 100MHz, 1GHz etc 3/ Programmed to use a low cost Mechanical Rotary Encoder. 4/ Software fine tuning of the Reference oscillator frequency. 5/ Programmable for various Reference oscillator frequencies & DDS x1 or x6 Multiplier. 6/ Up to 11 Sweep Generator Memories can be programmed, ( Including start & finish frequency, & sweep rate ). 7/ There are two Sweep modes Slow & fast, in each there are 10 sweep speeds. Slow sweep mode.
Fast sweep mode.
8/ Memorises the last frequency on power up. 7/ Calibration menu to program optional Power Head Kits. 8/ Programmable menu to set for when using an input attenuator or amplifier on the Power Head. Refer to the Software Notes for more detailed information & Use, Download the Sweep Readme document.
