FLEX-6000 Signature Series - SmartSDR for Windows Software User's Guide
Tune Step Size: The amount of frequency change caused by one tuning action on the FlexControl,
mouse scroll wheel or by dragging is determined by the active slice Tune Step Size. Tune Step Size is
mode group specific and can be set by the user using the Step Size adjustment on the active slice
Widget. The FlexControl utilizes an accelerated tuning feature that will tune larger frequency steps
when the knob is rotated more quickly.
10.3 MAKING A SLICE RECEIVER ACTIVE
A Slice Receiver consists of a center Carrier Frequency displayed by a solid yellow
vertical bar. A yellow bar indicates the slice is "Active," indicating that this is the slice that you are
currently manipulating. An active slice will have the focus of tuning devices such as the mouse wheel
and the FlexControl. You can toggle the active slice by clicking anywhere on an available slice's filter
display. When a new Slice Receiver is selected as the active slice, the old active slice will become
inactive and its carrier line will change to the red color. There can only be one active slice under
tuning device control at a time in SmartSDR.
10.4 HOW TO CHANGE THE DEMODULATION MODE
The position of the Receive Filter relative to the Carrier Frequency will correspond to the conventions
of the current mode. A Receive Filter to the right of the Carrier indicates Upper Sideband mode. A
Receive Filter to the left indicates Lower Sideband mode. A Receive Filter that spans both the left and
right of the Carrier will indicate a double sideband mode.
