Note that reverting to v1.7 will invalidate any saved working
frequencies from v1.8 but proceeding to v1.8 again will present a
reset set of working frequencies i.e. any user defined entries in v1.8
will be lost of a v1.8 -> v1.7 -> v1.8 transition is made.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@8018 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
Working frequencies can be for all regions or for individual IARU
regions. This allows each mode band tuple to have one or more working
frequencies which can include local ones only offered when the user
configures their IARU region.
Change working frequency default suggestions to better fit in
FT8. General rule is FT8 is at JT65 -2kHz except where that is not
possible e.g. where that would fall into a segment not allocated for
narrow band data modes. For tight bands like top band sqeeze existing
JT65 and JT allocations to allow space for FT8.
NOTE: this change changes the WSPR frequency on 80m to allow access to
JA stations that currently have no allocation where it was placed.
ALSO NOTE: the JT65 and JT9 frequencies for 80m move down 6 kHz, again
to accommodate region 3 users. Other appliactions not within our
control should be asked to move in step when 1.8.0 is released.

This builds on the static phase compensation in the MSK144 decoder and
the phase analysis and polynomial fitting capabilities also in teh
MSK144 decoder, by allowing captured data to be selected for phase
equalization from the WSJT-X UI.
Reads captured phase compensation curve estimate files containing
fitted polynomial coefficients and measured phase data from MSK144
receptions. Intent is to select a compensation curve that is from a
known transmitter like an SDR which have good phase linearity. Phase
plots and compensation polynomials may be viewed and compared with the
current compensation polynomial. A suitable polynomial can be applied
to be use in all further decoding of MSK144 signals.
Plots of the currently selected polynomial and its modified higher
order terms polynomial which is actually used in equalization (this
plot may be dropped - it is just for kicks at the moment). When a
captured phase analysis file is loaded plots of the measured phase and
the proposed best fit polynomial are shown.
Basic maintenance is also included allowing clearing and loading
captured plots and an option to revert to a flat no equalization
curve.
More to come on this as amplitude equalization is also possible, this
will probably be similar, maybe even plotted on the same graph with
dual axes for phase and amplitude. Amplitude correction from a
measured reference spectrum could be viewed and selected for
equalization for all modes. TBC...
This change also introduces the QCustomPlot 3rd party
widget. Currently this is statically linked from a qcp library built
by the WSJT-X CMake script. This will probably be migrated to a shared
object (DLL) build as a CMake external project, once some CMake script
re-factoring has been completed, which is more in line with the
QCustomPlot author's intentions. This will allow efficient reuse in
other tools shipped with WSJT-X.

The watchdog configuration is now a spin box of minutes with a special
first value of disabled. WSJT-X counts down minutes on the minute, if
the countdown reaches zero any attempt to transmit is aborted. The
countdown is reset by any mouse press or key press event inside the
main window or if the Tx message changes (auto sequencing).
The status bar now shows the Tx watchdog countdown if it is
active. This information is shown to the right of the progress bar
text.
The warning message boxes triggered within the GUI update routine now
no longer block the GUI updates.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@6840 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
Changing configuration causes WSJT-X and JTAlert to get into a fight
for the temporary directory. By moving the creation and clearup of the
temporary directory outside of the configurations loop this issue is
minimized to no worse than before multiple configurations were added.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@6630 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
Also added a new configuration query method to check if Rig is None
i.e. a dummy rig.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@6629 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
The concept of a nominal receive and transmit frequency has been
introduced. This is used as a base frequency for Doppler correction,
frequency setting and reporting. The start up frequency is now zero
which is updated by the first rig control status report. This needs
more work to accommodate calling frequency plus working frequency
operation as is used for random MS operation etc..
The main window frequency display now shows the transmit dial
frequency while transmitting.
The mode changing logic sequence has been changed such that the rig is
correctly put into and taken out of split mode as required by the
target mode. This also avoids the "other" VFO having its frequency
changed when entering a mode that does not use split operating like
WSPR.
The main window band combo box edit may now be used to input an kHz
offset from the current MHz dial frequency. This is intended for
setting a sked or working frequency on the VHF and up bands. For
example the working frequency for 23cms might be set to 1296MHz and a
working frequency of 1296.3MHz would be selected by selecting the
23cms band with the combo box drop down list and then entering 300k
into the band combo box edit widget.
When using JT4 modes a CTRL+Click on the waterfall adjusts the nominal
frequency such that the frequency clicked on becomes the Tx and Rx
frequency using the fixed 1000Hz DF that JT4 modes use. This will
probably be extended to all QSO modes when used in VHF & up mode. This
assumes that 1000Hz is an optimal DF for both Tx and Rx and therefore
one can "net" to an off frequency, but visible on the waterfall,
caller with one click.
Improvements to OmniRig rig control including use of the serial port
control lines RTS or DTR, on the CAT serial port used by OmniRig, for
PTT control.
Incrementing transaction sequence numbers added to messages to and from
the rig control thread. This enables round trip status to be tracked
and associated with a request. For example a command that might cause
several asynchronous status updates can now be tracked in the
originating thread such that it is clear which updates are caused by
executing the request. This in turn allows updates to be held until
the request is complete i.e. the state is consistent with the results
of the request.
Messages to the rig control thread are now posted as a new state
(Transceiver::TransceiverState) object. The rig control thread tracks
requests and actions any differences between the prior requests and
the new state.
The rig control thread is now stored on the heap so that it can be
closed down and released as needed. Along with this the rig control
close down semantics are better defined avoiding some potential
deadlock situations.
If the rig is placed into split mode it will be reverted to simplex
mode when the rig connection is closed.
When using direct rig control via Hamlib, rigs that have A/B VFO
arrangements and no method to query the current VFO like many Icoms
and the Yaesu FT-817/857/897(D) series now have smarted frequency
updating requiring no VFO changes when changing the frequency. This
is particularly important when doing Tx Doppler correction to avoid
glitches.
The implementation of emulated split operating mode ("Fake It") is
simplified and improved.
A dummy Hamlib transceiver for PTT control on a separate port is no
long instantiated if CAT or VOX PTT control is selected.
The resolution and any rounding of the rig CAT frequency set and get
commands is determined automatically upon opening the rig connection.
This is needed to determine the rate of frequency updates for Doppler
tracking. It also allows the rig to be more accurately controlled.
Frequency calibration is calculated separately for the receive and
transmit frequencies.
Whether the rig modulation mode should be controlled is now a
constructor argument rather than being passed with individual rig
control requests.
Doppler shift correction is considerably enhanced with simpler
controls and much better rig control. A new mode of tracking called
"receive only" is introduced for those with rigs that cannot be QSY:ed
via CAT when transmitting. Such rigs have a Doppler correction
calculated for the middle of the next transmit period just before
transmission starts. While using Doppler tracking it is now possible
to adjust the sked frequency either using the new kHz offset feature
of the main window band combo box or by directly tuning the rig VFO
knob while holding down the CTRL key.
The astronomical data window that includes Doppler tracking control is
now opened and closed using a checkable menu item to avoid it being
accidentally closed.
Debug configuration rig control diagnostic messages now have a
facility argument for clearer and more standardized trace messages.

Various defect repairs and ambigous behaviour clarifications
A regression introduced in v1.5.0-rc1 where PTT on an alternate serial
port when using no CAT control is resolved.
A regression introduced in v1.5.0-rc1 where the network server field
was not being restored in the settings dialog has been resolved.
In settings the "Test PTT" button is now styled by checked state.
The "Test PTT" button is enabled without needing click "Test CAT"
first when no CAT rig control is selected.
Various parts of the settings dialog are now disabled when no CAT rig
control is selected. These are the "Mode" group, the "Split Operation"
group and the "Monitor returns to last used frequency" check box. None
of these have any visible impact nor make sense without CAT rig
control.
Initialization and teardown of rig control internals has been revised
to avoid several problems related to timing and when switching between
different CAT settings. This includes improvements in having the
operating frequency restored between sessions when not using CAT rig
control.
The initialization of OmniRig connections has been improved,
unfortunately it is still possible to get an exception when clicking
the "Test CAT" button where just clicking "OK" and leaving the
settings dialog will probably work.
Some unnecessary CAT commands output during direct rig control have
been elided to reduce the level of traffic a little.
The handling of some automatically generated free text messages used
when the station is a type 2 compound callsign or is working a type 2
compound callsign has been improved. This is related to how a double
click on a message of the form "DE TI4/N0URE 73" is double
clicked. The new behaviour depends on whether the current "DX Call"
matches the call in the message. This resolves the ambiguity as to
whether this message is a sign off at the end of a QSO with current
operator (a 73 message is generated) or a tail end opportunity where
the message should be treated the same as a CQ or QRZ message (WSJT-X
QSYs to the frequency, generates messages and selects message one
ready to call). This still leaves some potential ambiguous behaviors
in this complex area but selecting "Clear DX call and grid after
logging" should resolve most of them.
Rig control trace messages have been cleaned up and are now more
helpful, less verbose and, tidier in the source code.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged from the wsjtx-1.5 branch.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@5298 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
To facilitate interaction with other applications WSJT-X now sends
status updates to a predefined UDP server or multicast group
address. The status updates include the information currently posted
to the decodes.txt and wsjtx_status.txt files. An optional back
communications channel is also implemented allowing the UDP server
application to control some basic actions in WSJT-X.
A reference implementaion of a typical UDP server written in C++ using
Qt is provided to demonstrate these facilities. This application is
not intended as a user tool but only as an example of how a third
party application may interact with WSJT-X.
The UDP messages Use QDataStream based serialization. Messages are
documented in NetworkMessage.hpp along with some helper classes that
simplify the building and decoding of messages.
Two message handling classes are introduced, MessageClient and
MessageServer. WSJT-X uses the MessageClient class to manage outgoing
and incoming UDP messages that allow communication with other
applications. The MessageServer class implements the kind of code
that a potential cooperating application might use. Although these
classes use Qt serialization facilities, the message formats are
easily read and written by applications that do not use the Qt
framework.
MessageAggregator is a demonstration application that uses
MessageServer and presents a GUI that displays messages from one or
more WSJT-X instances and allows sending back a CQ or QRZ reply
invocation by double clicking a decode. This application is not
intended as a user facing tool but rather as a demonstration of the
WSJT-X UDP messaging facility. It also demonstrates being a multicast
UDP server by allowing multiple instances to run concurrently. This is
enabled by using an appropriate multicast group address as the server
address. Cooperating applications need not implement multicast
techniques but it is recomended otherwise only a single appliaction
can act as a broadcast message (from WSJT-X) recipient.

Pass the temporary directory to jt9 and use it to give the correct
paths to temporary files. Also jt9 passes the absolute path to
kvasd.dat in the temporary directory to kvasd.
Clear out all the annoying cruft that has accumulated due to having to
run with $CWD as the temporary directory.
Use QStandardPaths to find the writable data directory where needed
rather than passing it around between objects. This now works because
the $CWD hasn't been changed.
Do away with the CMake option WSJT_STANDARD_FILE_LOCATIONS as it is no
longer needed.
Fix astro status file azel.dat formatting.

Because of confilicts using the shared memory to communicate with jt9
only one instance of WSJT-X may run with each unique key (rig name).
Added a QLockFile for each unique key in the temp directory and logic
to deal with stale locks and retries.

The location of documentation files on Linux distributions is
controlled to a certain extent. Using the QStandardPaths::locate()
method helps us with this.
Work round the misbehaviour of QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath()
when the CWD has been changed by working out the documentation
location before changing the CWD to a temporary directory. This path
is now provided by the Configuration settings class which also manages
other run time paths.
Updated Debian packaging to move a little nearer a conforming DEB
file.
Added a basic manpage for rigctld-wsjtx.

Some rigs either do not honour some CAT commands while transmitting or
interpret them incorrectly. To deal with this a settings option to
allow TX frequency changes while transmitting has been added with a
default value of off.
Any UI actions that directly or indirectly change the TX frequency are
guarded according to this new option. As well as this band changes and
use of the +2kHz check box are disabled and guarded respectively in
transmit mode.
Mode changes via the menu are now disabled while transmitting.
When TX frequency changes are allowed; frequency changes are correctly
implemented while in tune mode.
Double clicking decodes while transmitting now correctly regenerate
and change the message sent on the fly.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@4349 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
The Qt test mode that uses special paths for writeable files (via
QtStandardPaths) doesn't make a special temporary file path. This
change appends " - test_mode" to the WSJT-X unique temporary file path
so that an application run in test mode will not interact with another
running in normal mode.
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx@4240 ab8295b8-cf94-4d9e-aec4-7959e3be5d79
This allows writable files to be located in the "correct"
location for each platform rather than in the directory of
the executable which, in general, is not recommended or
allowed in some cases.
A preprocessor macro WSJT_STANDARD_FILE_LOCATIONS is used to
switch be tween old and new functionality, currently it is on
by default. It can be turned off by defining it to a false
value (0) or more simply with cmake-gui setting the option
with the same name. JTAlert can only work with the old
non-standard file locations until Laurie VK3AMA chooses to
support the new file locations.
Even if the above is not enabled; the QSettings file is
written to a user specific location so it will be shared by
all instances of the program (i.e. across upgrades). See
below for multiple concurrent instance support changes.
Added a command line parser module for Fortran.
Added 'lib/options.f90' to facilitate more complex argument
passing to jt9 to cover explicit file locations.
Changed the way multiple concurrent instances are handled.
This is to allow the program to be run multiple times from
the same installation directory.
A new wsjtx command line optional argument is available "-r"
or "--rig" which enables multiple concurrent instance
support. The parameter of the new option is a unique name
signifying a rig or equivalent. The name is used as the
shared memory segment key and in window titles. The name is
also used to access unique settings files and writable data
files like ALL.TXT and log files. No attempt has been made
to share these files between concurrent instances.
If "-r" or "--rig" is used without a parameter it still
enables multiple concurrent instance support for that
instance. All instances must use a unique parameter, one of
which may be empty.
The rig name is appended the
QCoreApplication::applicationName() for convenient usage like
window titles.
Set non Qt locale to "C".
This ensures that C library functions give consistent results
whatever the system locale is set to. QApplication follows
the system locale as before. Thus using QApplication and its
descendants like widgets and QString for all user visible
formating will give correct l10n and using C/C++ library will
give consistent formatting across locales.
Added top level C++ exception handling to main.cpp.
Because the new transceiver framework uses exceptions
internally, the main function now handles any exceptions that
aren't caught.
Retired devsetup, replaced with Configuration.
Configuration is a class that encapsulates most of the
configuration behavior. Because rig configuration is so
closely coupled with rig operation, Configuration serves as a
proxy for access to the rig control functions. See
Configuration.hpp for more details of the Configuration
interface.
Menu changes.
Various checkable menu actions moved from main menu to the
Configuration dialog. The whole settings menu has been
retired with the single "Settings..." action moved to the
file menu for consistency on Mac where it appears as
"Preferences" in line with Mac guidelines.
New data models for data used by the application.
ADIF amateur band parameters, free text message macros, spot
working frequencies and, station information (station
descriptions and transverter offsets per band) each implement
the QAbstractItemModel interface allowing them to be used
directly with Qt view widgets (Bands.hpp, FrequencyList.hpp
and, StationList.hpp). Configuration manages maintenance of
an instance of all but the former of the above models. The
ADIF band model is owned by Configuration but requires no
user maintenance as it is immutable.
Band combo box gets more functionality.
This widget is now an editable QComboBox with some extra
input capabilities.
The popup list is still the list of spot working frequencies,
now showing the actual frequency decorated with the band
name. This allows multiple spot frequencies on a band if
required.
The line edit allows direct frequency entry in mega-Hertz
with a completer built in to suggest the available spot
working frequencies. It also allows band name entry where
the first available spot working frequency is selected.
Recognized band names are those that are defined by the ADIF
specification and can be found in in the implementation of
the ADIF bands model (Bands.cpp).
If an out of band frequency is chosen, the line edit shows a
warning red background and the text "OOB". Out of band is
only defined by the ADIF band limits which in general are
wider than any entities regulations.
Qt 5.2 now supports default audio i/p and o/p devices.
These devices are placeholders for whatever the user defines
as the default device. Because of this they need special
treatment as the actual device used is chosen at open time
behind the scenes.
Close-down behavior is simplified.
The close-down semantics were broken such that some objects
were not being shut down cleanly, this required amendments to
facilitate correct close down of threads.
User font selection added to Configuration UI.
Buttons to set the application font and the font for the band
and Rx frequency activity widgets have been added to the
Configuration UI to replace the file based font size control.
Free text macros now selected directly.
The free text line edit widgets are now editable combo boxes
that have the current free text macro definitions as their
popup list. The old context menu to do this has been
retired.
Astronomical data window dynamically formatted and has font a chooser.
This window is now autonomous, has its own font chooser and,
dynamically resizes to cover the contents.
Double click to Tx enabled now has its own widget in the status bar.
QDir used for portable path and file name handling throughout.
The "Monitor", "Decode", "Enable Tx" and, "Tune" buttons are now
checkable.
Being checkable allows these buttons control their own state
and rendering.
Calls to PSK Reporter interface simplified.
In mainwindow.cpp the calls to this interface are
rationalized to just 3 locations.
Manipulation of ALL.TXT simplified.
Moved, where possible, to common functions.
Elevated frequency types to be Qt types.
Frequency and FrequencyDelta defined as Qt types in their
meta-type system (Radio.hpp). They are integral types for
maximum accuracy.
Re-factored rig control calls in mainwindow.cpp.
The new Configuration proxy access to rig control required
many changes (mostly simplifications) to the MainWindow rig
control code. Some common code has been gathered in member
functions like qsy(), monitor(), band_changed() and
auto_tx_mode().
Rig control enhancements.
The rig control for clients interface is declared as an
abstract interface (See Transceiver.hpp). Concrete
implementations of this interface are provided for the Hamlib
rig control library, DX Lab Suite Commander via a TCP/IP
command channel, Ham Radio Deluxe also via a TCP/IP command
channel and, OmniRig via its Windows COM server interface.
Concrete Transceiver implementations are expected to be moved
to a separate thread after construction since many operations
are blocking and not suitable for running in a GUI thread.
To facilitate this all instantiation of concrete Transceiver
instances are handled by Configuration using a factory class
(TransceiverFactory) for configuration parameter based
instantiation.
Various common functionality shared by different rig
interface implementations are factored out into helper base
classes that implement or delegate parts of the Transceiver
interface. They are TransceiverBase which caches state to
minimize expensive rig commands, it also maps the Transceiver
interface into a more convenient form for implementation
(template methods). PollingTransceiver that provides a state
polling mechanism that only reports actual changes.
EmulateSplitTransceiver that provides split operation by
QSYing on PTT state changes.
EmulateSplitTransceiver can be used with any implementation
as it follows the GoF Decorator pattern and can wrap any
Transceiver implementation.
OmniRigTransceiver is derived directly from TransceiverBase
since it doesn't require polling due to its asynchronous
nature. OmniRigTransceiver is only built on Windows as it is
a COM server client. To build it you must first install the
OmniRig client on the development machine
(http://www.dxatlas.com/omnirig/).
DXLabSuiteCommanderTransceiver derives from
PollingTransceiver since it is a synchronous communications
channel. No third party library is required for this
interface.
HRDTransceiver also derives from PollingTransceiver. The HRD
interface library has been reverse engineered to provide
functionality with all available versions of HRD. No third
party libraries are required.
HamlibTransceiver likewise derives from PollingTransceiver
since the Hamlib asynchronous interface is non-functional.
Although this class will interface with the release version
of Hamlib (1.2.15.3); for correct operation on most rigs it
needs to run with the latest master branch code of Hamlib.
During development many changes to Hamlib have been submitted
and accepted, hence this requirement. Hamlib source can be
obtained from git://git.code.sf.net/p/hamlib/code and at the
time of writing he master branch was at SHA 6e4432.
The Hamlib interface directly calls the "C" interface and the
modified rigclass.{h,cpp} files have been retired.
There is a rig type selection of "None" which may be used for
non-CAT rigs, this is actually a connection to the dummy
Hamlib device.
PollingTransvceiver derives from TransceiverBase and
TransceiverBase derives from the Transceiver interface.
Each interface implementation offers some possibility of PTT
control via a different serial port than the CAT port. We
also support PTT control directly via a second serial port.
This is done by delegating to a dummy Hamlib instance which
is only used for PTT control. This means that
DXLabSuiteCommanderTransceiver, HRDTransceiver and
OmniRigTransceiver always wrap a dummy HamlibTransceiver
instance. The factory class TransceiverFactory manages all
these constructional complexities.
Serial port selection combo boxes are now editable with a
manually entered value being saved to the settings file.
This allows a non-standard port device to be used without
having to edit the settings file manually.
For TCP/IP network CAT interfaces; the network address and
port may be specified allowing the target device to be
located on a different machine from the one running wsjtx if
required. The default used when the address field is left
blank is the correct one for normal usage on the local host.
Selecting a polling interval of zero is no longer possible,
this is because the rig control capability can no longer
support one way connection. This is in line with most other
CAT control software.
In the Configuration dialog there are options to select split
mode control by the software and mode control by the
software. For the former "None", "Rig" and "Fake it" are
available, for the latter "None", "USB" and, "Data" are
available. Because tone generation is implicitly linked to
split mode operation; it is no longer possible to have the
software in split mode and the rig not or vice versa. This
may mean some rigs cannot be used in split mode and therefore
not in dual JT65+JT9 until issues with CAT control with that
rig are resolved. Single mode with VOX keying and no CAT
control are still possible so even the most basic transceiver
setup is supported as before.
Configuration now supports a frequency offset suitable for
transverter operation. The station details model
(StationList.hpp) includes a column to store an offset for
each band if required.
CMake build script improvements.
The CMakeLists.txt from the 'lib' directory has been retired
with its contents merged into the top level CMakeLists.txt.
Install target support has been greatly improved with the
Release build configuration now building a fully standalone
installation on Mac and Windows. The Debug configuration
still builds an installation that has environment
dependencies for external libraries, which is desirable for
testing and debugging.
Package target support is largely complete for Mac, Windows
and, Linux, it should be possible to build release installers
directly from CMake/CPack.
Cmake FindXXXX.cmake modules have been added to improve the
location of fftw-3 and Hamlib packages.
Version numbers are now stored in Versions.cmake and work in
concert with automatic svn revision lookup during build. The
version string becomes 'rlocal'± if there are any uncommitted
changes in the build source tree.
Moved resource like files to Qt resources.
Because location of resource files (when they cannot go into
the installation directory because of packaging rules) is
hard to standardize. I have used the Qt resource system for
all ancillary data files. Some like kvasd.dat are dumped out
to the temp (working directory) because they are accessed by
an external program, others like the audio samples are copied
out so they appear in the data directory under the default
save directory.
