JAReC 4 alpha xx version include a configuration builder that will help a lot with defining new commands or editing existing ones.
Configuration files in v4 are simplified a lot and provide more flexibility and functionality.
You can download a prerelease of jAReC v4 from here:
https://www.yo3ggx.ro/jAReC/v4/jAReC_v4A3.zip
Some sample v4 configs are included in the zip, to better understand the new syntax.
Is backward compatible with Pocket RxTx v3, for which some new features are available:
- when the application start listening, waits for the Audio device and COM ports to be available, without requiring to be restared, as in the previous v3.x version
- same when audio or COM port are lost during listening.
- When the COM port or audio device are not available, are marked in red
- when available, a message is written in the status bar.
In V4 I've implemented a very comprehensive pRxTx Config file builder, that will help a lot with commands definition and testing, without the need to use Pocket RxTx for that.
This builder is now based on a new simplified syntax for the config file, fully redesigned, that will be used in Pocket RxTx v4. It cannot be used to define and test commands for v3.
In v4, radio feedback is permanent for all parameters that are defined in SET commands, so the sync between PocketRxTx and the radio will be continuous.
I didn't have time yet to work on the updated jAReC v4 user guide, but the new interface is very intuitive (I hope).
Just some hints, for not so obvious features:
- when in builder and PANEL answer format, you can double click on any display field to associate it with a parameter
- in v4 you have 4 type of commands: SET, READ, PAT (pattern) and CAL (calibration)
- for each parameter you have now a single command (not one for each possible value)
- each SET command can have an associated READ and PAT command
- I've included the v4 config for IC7300 and a partially one for XIEGU. Use them as reference. IC7300 v4 config was full tested
- jAReC v4 can copy all the commands of a specific type to the clipboard and then yo can paste then directly in the radio config file, in bulk.
jAReC v4 is designed to be used with open-jdk11 together with openjfx11. You can download the following archive and unzip the content to C:\java folder
https://www.yo3ggx.ro/jAReC/v4/java.zip
Then you can run jAReC v4 using the following command:
Code: Select all
c:\java\bin\java.exe -jar --module-path c:\java\javafx\lib --add-modules javafx.controls path_to_jAReC.jar\jAReC.jar
You can play with it a little bit. Is the major jAReC update up to now.
I'm here if you have questions.
Use jAReC v4 in v3 compatibility mode with Pocket RxTx v3.x.
