Logging signal strength

Postby clearblueskies86 » Thu Sep 15, 2016 2:37 pm

I'm having some signal interference issues with my dish and wanted to log the signal strength (preferably every 500ms or so) in order to document when these issues occur and find a solution for them. Is it possible to log signal strength to a text file in dvbdream?

There are two modules, you can try to place to \modules folder, enable them (in main menu->modules->module list) and restart DVB Dream, then go to main menu->modules Level Log and Signal Display

These are very old modules written by X05, not sure which one does the job and if they still work.

If these don't work, then one should write a new module by using ModuleAPI SDK

The levellog module does what I need, but unfortunately it only has options to log every 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, etc. Is the original source for it available to set the logging period to a shorter time frame like 500ms or 1s?

Yes, sources are available but in assembly: I am attaching them, also, the assembly include /header file for ModuleAPI.
I think X05 was using RadASM or MASM to compile these.
If you would like to write your own module in delphi or c / c++ , I can send the latest ModuleAPI SDK.
I've found some other old modules for DD but they might be broken because of changes. attaching them all :wink: :)

Can anyone familiar with assembly help in changing a small part of levellog? I just need the existing time options of 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, etc changed to 100ms, 200ms, 300ms, 400ms, 500ms, 1s, and 2s.
