Flexmeter File

I have a flexmeter application and some notes from march of 2015.  Not sure if its the same one, since I don't run it.  But your welcome to have a copy - where do I send it?

here is the note that came with it . .

-----------------

In my quest to figure out how to talk to my Flex 6000 radio with the Ethernet API I wrote a program that exposes the metering reported by the radio Ethernet API. Please consider this software only as a science experiment and that it is given with the thought some people might enjoy playing with it.  I wrote it using my Flex 6700 with version 1.3.8 software. I have not tested it with any other radio or software version and there is no promise that it will work at all with your system.  I won’t be able to give any technical support for it but if you are want to try it on those terms, you are welcome to download it from the location listed below.  Please don't rely on any readings from this program to be correct.

When the radio is queried with the Ethernet API to list its meter points it lists them by source, name, and number. For each metering point the API also provides a units type as well as high and low meter range values. This program lists these items as reported by the radio. The program also uses the meter ranges as reported by the API. The description of each metering point that is displayed in the program also comes from the API response. For each unit type my program applies a formula that tries to interpret the raw data returned by API. The program output matches what the radio is displaying in many cases but in other places the values don't make sense to me.  I assume that is because I don't quite understand what is measured or how it is supposed to work, but it could be that some of the API responses are still a work in progress and are just incorrect.

This program does not install any files other than a small ini config file that saves some user settings. When you first start the program, it listens for broadcasts from a Flex 6000 and then lists the radios it finds. Select the radio you want monitor.  In the options menu you can chose automatically start the metering if there is only one radio on the network. In the Source box at the lower left of the program you should see several sources such as COD-, RAD, or SLC.  When you click on a source, the names of metering points associated with that source will be listed in the Name box.  For example clicking on RAD with my radio will show two DC volt measurement points (+13.8A and +13.8B).  Selecting one of the names will populate the Number box with possible choices. If for example there are several slices running on the radio, there will be several numbers listed when SLC is the selected source. If there is only one number for a given metering point, it will be automatically picked, but if there are more than one to choose from you must click which one you want to start reading the meter.

Typical Source Names:
COD-    (Codec)
RAD    (Radio)
SLC    (Slice)
TX-    (Transmitter)

Actually, I could really use the programme as well.  I suspect that this will become a bit of a theme.  Perhaps someone could email me a (working) or the programme itself to david at g4nrt dot com

Tnx!  David

Thanks Bill, I think that will save a lot of emails back and forth!

Bill that would be great. Thanks

well phooey !   the email address got bounced - I am pretty sure I got it right . .

send me a msg at    island.sail.boat       at the same g   mail server  still want to get this to you

I posted a copy in my Dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/igsnaxr91y8lhga/FlexMeter.zip?dl=0

Bingo !   Thanks Howard !   I will pull myself out of this loop . .

Your the man !

See above

Flexmeter used to work fine for me but alas no longer, have not pursued why.

New version 1.1.0.1 Still missing the AGC+ reading that was available before, but thanks for the update guys...
