Wouldn't be easier to define a restore point before installation of new PSDR and driver combo?
Then if you have problems, then you just restore to a previous point. 73, Robert KB6QXM "Ham Radio Open Conversation" Yahoo group owner/moderator ----- Reply message ----- From: "Walter Dallmeier" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Subject: [FlexEdge] Announcing the release of PowerSDR v2.4.4 Date: Wed, Sep 5, 2012 11:47 am Hello, have a little problem with the installation and the sample rate and Flex5000. Before I am running of 96kHz no more was possible. Each time I set to 192kHz I get an major fault, PowerSDR and Driver must be uninstalled and new reinstalled. After installing V2.4.4 I was able to run just one time PowerSDR with success. I imported the old database with the 96kHz sample rate and PowerSDR stopped with a major fault. Uninstalling the complete package and after reinstalling the program is starting. But if I press the Start/Stop button I get a fault "Wrong Sample Rate". If I am looking into the Setup, there is 96kHz. I set it to 48kHz with no success. No I can not start PowerSDR anymore. A fault window appear that no driver is installed. The program FlexRadio is showing the Flex5000 not more. The driver setup is not access able. After uninstall/reinstall the same.... Please help. 73 de Walter, DL4RCK Walter Dallmeier www.dl4rck.de -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Tim Ellison, W4TME Gesendet: Mittwoch, 5. September 2012 13:20 An: [email protected] Betreff: [FlexEdge] Announcing the release of PowerSDR v2.4.4 To all FlexRadio Systems SDR owners: PowerSDR v2.4.4 has been released and is available for download at the following URLs: PowerSDR v2.4.4 Installer: http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=401 PowerSDR v2.4.4 Release Notes: http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=402 PowerSDR v2.4.4 is a significant release with several VERY IMPORTANT caveats. Please read this message and the PowerSDR v2.4.4 Release Notes in their entirety. Seriously, we are not kidding. PLEASE READ THE RELEASE NOTES before installing PowerSDR v2.4.4 With PowerSDR v2.4.4 there is a new look and feel to the integrated software installer. It is more streamlined requiring fewer decisions to be made regarding your radio type(s) and what accessories you have connected to your PC due to pre-installing all necessary drivers for all radio types. Even if you only currently use a FLEX-1500, the FLEX Firewire driver will be preloaded, but not used unless you connect a FLEX-5000 or FLEX-3000 to your computer. This will eliminate the need to re-install PowerSDR if you use a different radio type or decide to add a FlexControl at a later date. Because of this new feature, the PowerSDR integrated software installer will prompt you to reboot your PC after it has completed installing PowerSDR v2.4.4. Regarding new features, this release contains the long awaited streaming Firewire driver v4.0.0 for the FLEX-5000 and FLEX-3000. This driver utilizes a brand new streaming architecture that improves throughput performance (reduced latency) and better resiliency to PCs that experience long duration deferred procedure call (DPC) latencies. With the older Firewire driver, long duration DPCs would result in distorted audio; this is no longer the case. The audio can still "freeze" if the DPC latency is in excess of ~15,000 µS. Because of the completely different streaming architecture of the v4.0.0 Firewire driver, it requires firmware updates that are *NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE* with previous versions of PowerSDR. This means that once you install PowerSDR v2.4.4 you will not be able to use previously installed versions of PowerSDR unless you revert back to the older Firewire driver and firmware versions. There are instructions in the PowerSDR v2.4.4 Release Notes that describes that procedure in detail. There are no significant changes to the database schema with PowerSDR v2.4.4 so you should be able to import data from PowerSDR v2.3.5 if the Strict DB Import Compliance option is unchecked in the Setup->General->Options tab. You can always use the K9DUR SDR Data Transfer Utility v5.0 to migrate database data from a previous version of PowerSDR too. (http://k9dur.rnaconsultingservices.com/SDRDataTransfer.aspx). In conjunction with the new Firewire driver and optimizations compiling the DSP code, testing of PowerSDR v2.4.4 has shown a significant improvement in CW operation regarding RX->TX->RX transition timing over previous versions of PowerSDR. These improvements are also applicable to all modes, but are most noticeable when operating CW. In the EU, some radios require their transmit frequency ranges to be modified to meet regulatory compliance. For these radios, PowerSDR now creates an IARU Region 1 specific band text database (the readout below the VFO), band edge markers and realigned band stack registers. There are also other features and numerous bug fixes included with PowerSDR v2.4.4 that are documented in the PowerSDR v2.4.4 Release notes, so please review them before installing PowerSDR v2.4.4. If you have issues installing or operating PowerSDR v2.4.4 with FlexRadio's software defined radios, please refer to the Release Notes first, as the answer to your questions may be located there.
