[Linrad] Re: Linrad - MAP65 communication

[Joe Taylor <Princeton.EDU; joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rein and all,

I have been away for the past ten days, just now getting 
caught up on email.  It seems that you have had some trouble 
getting Linrad and MAP65(-IQ) running together?

Probably I have not yet absorbed everything in the recent 
series of emails on this topic, but I as I understand it you 
want to run Linrad together with MAP65, using either the 
SDR-IQ or a SoftRock for input.

There is no version of MAP65 designed specifically for a 
general-purpose, single-channel direct-conversion I/Q 
receiver like the SoftRock.  Although I do not particularly 
recommend it, it's possible to use a SoftRock with the 
standard MAP65 program.  To do this you must use 96 kHz 
sample rate and tell Linrad that you have a dual-RF-channel 
(four audio channel) system.  MAP65 will then work, but of 
course it cannot provide its very important 
polarization-matching capability.

A much better solution would be to use MAP65-IQ and the 
SDR-IQ receiving hardware.  On April 10 I posted to this 
reflector a link to a click-to-install version of MAP65-IQ, 
specifically built for the SDR-IQ receiver:

http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/MAP65-IQ_r1116.EXE

Downloading and executing this file will install everything 
you need to run Linrad 3.05b and MAP65-IQ v0.9, r1116, on a 
single computer.  There is no need to configure any 
network-related or other files.  A full set of Linrad 
configuration files is included, set up for optimum 
performance with MAP65-IQ.  Both programs run comfortably on 
a single computer with 1 GB (or even 512 MB) of memory and 
1.5 GHz or faster CPU.

Start-up icons for both Linrad and MAP65-IQ will appear on 
your Windows desktop at the end of installation.  As far as 
I have been able to tell, the combination runs "out of the 
box".  If for you it does not, please tell us about your 
problems!


Additional comment, especially to Leif:

Making a click-to-install distribution file for Windows is 
very simple.  (Like many things, simple once you have 
learned how. :-))  I recommend using the superb (and free) 
program called "Inno Setup", available at 
http://www.innosetup.com/isinfo.php

To use it you must create a simple file that names all files 
to be included in the distribution, and tells where to find 
them and where to put them on the target machine.  An 
example of the setup file for the MAP65-IQ distribution is 
attached.
