SATSAGEN v.0.8.0.0 article (English Google translated)


Highlights:

- Noise Figure and Gain Analyzer
- Digital Phosphor Display
- Zero Span
- USRP B200mini and NI USRP 2920 support
- AS7265x spectrometer 


Added:

- New VNA parameters load delay, load C, load L, and load R
- FFT window type selection from TSA RBW panel
- Append mode in DB grids
- New attack window and decay window values for the smoothing video filter 
- LibreSDR preliminary support
- RX overflow counters for USRP, HackRF, and SDRPlay devices


Improvements:

- SDRPlay device can use the 10 MSPS rate
- Dedicated tab for device options in the settings window
- No default autozoom. A knob can be used to sets the amplitude scale steps and a button as a trace finder tool.
- Generator frequency, spectrum analyzer frequency, Span, RX gain, tx power parameters follow the device 
- HackRF and SDRPlay RX callbacks were rewritten for more performance
- Up to 4096 waterfall resolution time points 
- Speeded up these knobs operations by pressing the middle mouse button: SA update time, Waterwall update time, Digital Phosphor Display lifetime, and Trigger value.
- Reduced TSA noise using the FFT Cossum window type for the r820t based devices


Fixes:

- SA parameters were not restored after full band operation and power-off
- New markers created manually from the DB grid cannot be moved by the mouse wheel or J-K key combinations
- Sporadic serial communication errors on the fastest PCs. All serial-based devices, like simple spectrum analyzers, log detector devices, and others, can be involved.
- Generator DC modulation amplitude differs from the other modulation types.
- TSA units were changed when moving the RX Gain spectrum analyzer knob
