  • Page 3: Introduction

    Any other associated SDR that will work with PowerSDR can also be used. Currently PowerSDR is the only known SDR software that has been modified to work with Janus and Ozy. We expect that in time, other software may also be modified, or newly created.
  • Page 4 Power SDR v1.10.0 or later Required to Operate PowerSDR with Janus/Ozy, see page 14 and following In the following, the set-up of and connections to Janus and Ozy will be explained in detail, followed by the PowerSDR settings. [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] Rev 2.1, September 2009...
  • Page 5: Janus Set-Up

    During normal operation and after Ozy firmware being loaded, four red LEDs are lit as indicated. To use the Janus board with the SDR-1000 nine jumpers must be set. Six of these are indicated in light blue in Fig 1 below. The remaining three relate to microphone and PTT connections and to the microphone bias.

    Connect the Sleeve to the outer braid of the coaxial microphone cable (see Fig 2). Since there is no standard relating to the wiring of microphone plugs Janus allows several options: The microphone may be connected to either the tip or ●...

    THE DB-9 CONNECTOR ON THE OZY BOARD - SEE PAGE 10 FOR MORE DETAILS. Note: PTT AND CW MUST BE CONNECTED TO OZY/JANUS AND NOT TO THE SDR-1000 JACKS. THIS MAY CHANGE IN FUTURE AS THE SOFTWARE GETS UPDATED. Rev 2.1, September 2009...
  • Page 8: Q Output Connection

    On the Janus board, just beneath the Audio Out connector (#7) are four terminals that can be used to feed power to Janus, and via the Atlas backplane, to Ozy. These terminals may be used instead of the Molex power connector on the Atlas board.

  • Page 11: Software

    To run PowerSDR with Ozy/Janus you will need to: 1. Install the USB driver (see next), if you have not previously done so 2. Power up Ozy and Janus and connect to a USB port on your PC. 3. Download PowerSDR v1.10.1 or higher from the Flex-Radio website.
  • Page 12 Z Y O P E R A T I O N W I T H O W E R 3. Power up Ozy/Janus and connect Ozy to a USB port on the PC. Windows will find new hardware and start the wizard. Select not to search and click Next (see Fig 5).
  • Page 13 & O S D R A N U S Z Y O P E R A T I O N W I T H O W E R 2. Select Install the software automatically and click Next. Note: IF AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION DOES NOT WORK, THEN SELECT MANUAL INSTALLATION AND BROWSE TO C:\Program Files\FlexRadio Systems\USBIO, WHERE A COPY OF THE DRIVER FILES CAN BE FOUND.
  • Page 14: Running Powersdr

    Before clicking the Start button in PowerSDR, follow the directions below. ● PowerSDR Settings Ozy and Janus may be used with the SDR-1000 to control and/or process the audio and I/Q streams by selecting the corresponding settings in PowerSDR. Four combinations are possible as shown in Table 6.
  • Page 15: Ozy Sdr-1000 Control

    Hardware Setup, select Janus/Ozy Control, as shown in Fig 7 above. If this is the first time you select Janus/Ozy Control after powering up Ozy, then the relevant firmware (initozy11.bat) will automatically be uploaded to the Ozy board (into the FPGA), to set Ozy to control the SDR-1000 and Janus.
  • Page 16: Janus Audio And I/Q Processing

    O W E R Janus Audio and I/Q Processing To select Janus to process the audio and I/Q streams, go to the Set-up Form, Audio Tab and select the Sound Card Sub-Tab. In the Sound Card Selection section, select HPSDR Janus/Ozy (USB2) from the drop down list, just like you would any other sound card.
  • Page 17: A Comment On The Leds On Janus And Ozy

    10MHz reference present on Atlas C16 (LED4) and the VCXO PLL on Janus is locked (LED5). Before the firmware is loaded there is no clock into the CPLD on Janus. The CPLD defaults to light LEDs 4 and 5. Once Ozy is running the detector in Janus works and the LEDs dim.
