IF Average SDR# Plugin Updated
The IF Average tool is a RTL-SDR compatible plugin for SDR# which allows you to plot an average of the current spectrum shown in SDR#. This is especially useful for radio astronomers who often need to average the spectrum for a long time in order to get a good plot of the Hydrogen Line. Recently the plugin was updated to support newer versions of SDR# and to upgrade some features. Daniel Kaminski, the author of the plugin writes:
I used ultrafast FFT which works on 4k to 512k bit space. With this plugin it is possible to average up to 64000000 samples in real time. XNA allows to shows the calculation results in real time.
To install the plugin you will need to install the XNA Framework 4.0 Redistributable first. Then copy the plugin files over to the SDR# folder and add the “magicline” to the SDR# Plugins.xml file.
When saving text file(s) from the plugin, it lists two columns numerical values. The first is the frequency of course, but what is the second column?
Where can I find a help file for this plugin? I have no idea what all the buttons do..any help?
You have to select another skin. Office 2010 Black works well.
Where can I find this IF Average Plugin?
