Once again, demonstrating the point that contesters are driving so many of the interesting SDR challenges...

Most of what you're describing is not a big reach at all. What's novel about this scenario is the need to arbitrate commands and data input from more than one operator at a time. On its face, that would seem to be much more of a "human protocol" issue than a technical one. However it does imply three important requirements: first, command message streams from each UI need to be stateful; second, the command protocol needs to include priorities; and third, commands may need some sort of time tagging and scheduling. Very interesting. Important stuff to bring into the picture. Fortunately, not something either the UIs or the DSP need to know anything about. For the rest, this configuration isn't much different from running multiple UIs on one machine, except the control/focus issue is more clearly defined for a single user with several UI instances. In that case, commands can still be treated as atomic rather than stateful, and can be executed as they arrive rather than needing scheduling. Much, much simpler. > I'm thinking that such concept could be useful in an > Unlimited Multi Op contest category... 73 Frank AB2KT _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
