API for AirView?

[jks19714]

It would be REALLY nice to have either a version of AirView for the ARM9 OR a document describing the programmer's interface for the device.

I would really like to see an inexpensive (relatively) alternative for using one or more AirViews in the field with something like GHI Electronics' Embedded Master or CANView.

Hello,

At this time we have not decided to release the API nor an SDK.

Thanks,

Do you think that the Linux java bytecode would run on an ARM9 Linux box?

Hmmm... I'm guessing by "Linux java bytecode" you mean the binaries for the AirView UI application? At which point I'd have to ask why you'd want to run a desktop application on an ARM CPU board that normally has no display attached, has very little RAM, and is generally only used as an embedded device. Or did I mis-understand you completely?

I have an ARM9 "developer" board set from MicroMint including a VGA interface with Linux and GNU tool chain. I was thinking about installing it in an outdoor enclosure with a 7-10" LCD display.

I see. Well, give it a try, who knows, it might work. As long as there's a compatible JRE present (Sun JRE 6) for whichever O/S you're using (Linux, which distro?) and you've got enough RAM, it might just work.

Please let us know if you're able to get it to work.

Cool, cool, cool

Is there any reasonable way to dump/record measurements from your software? For my uses, the real value in a device like the AirView is being able to take continuous measurements (on an embedded machine) and look at the data later, rather than looking at the GUI in real-time. Do you support something like that?

I also support this request from Eric Anderson. It would be very useful if I could use the AirView Spectrum Analyzer to record the environmental condition over a given time interval (e.g in an experimental testbed). For these kind of uses, an API would be extremely nice.

The ability to store results in a stream and replay them later would be extremely useful. We have a situation right now where a 5GHz Rocket-Rocket link which runs flawlessly for days suddenly dies for exactly 3 or 5 minutes exactly (we see massive packet loss and latency with mtr and smokeping) at random times. We are convinced that its local interference, but we're never there to see it happen. I would love to be able to put a Bullet5M at the customer site and log/store days worth of spectrum results with time tags so when the event happens we could go back and look at it.

I would also like to encourage the development of a recording function in AirView, similar to the MetaGeek Chanalyzer software used with the WiSpy modules. The ability to record just the basic stream would be a huge improvement, and make interference studies radically more effective.
