I drive my ports with number to BCD conversion subs but I'm a Delphi fan. Sorry. I'm not driving DACs right now just testing sequences. I'm sure the subs could be translated if you want to try.

As a start:
8 bit null to start protocol.
8 bit ascii channel number then a 16 bit dac number (actually 12 bit).
The channel number reflects the frequency channel. I assume 3 here.

That protocol you send anytime a slider change occurs. The micro receives the channel and sends the 12 bit to that dac channel. The appropriate dac output channel  reflects the level served. Then on to the xr2206 sweep input. I keep repeating the data connection on purpose for anybody new.
At some later time maybe amplitude can be implemented. Was also thinking about a set window of 2 frequency span that could be swept up and down.

I built a socket board for the FETs. Too much fire and brimstone in protoboard state. I am implementing that next session. We work in parallel.

So far all is good around the campfire. All stories told equal documented.

GREAT NEWS!

I had a few minutes, was bored, so I went to my site and downloaded the progs onto my win98 machine, and installed both FrequencyCalc AND SC, and installed them. THEY WORK BEAUTIFULLY in 98! No errors, nor any "missing export in such and such dll" reports that I honestly expected.

I expected the worst with SC espescially, due to graphics calls and the serious differences between control DLL's between the various platforms.

I officially state that these progs, as well as the 2.0 framework which I also had to install, will run on 98 and ME as well as XP and Vista!

Good deal, freaky neat, and kewl all wrapped in one.

Is there something in Linux I could use to do the same thing?  Hello all, new reader and poster, very happy to have found this site!

I'm trying to read everything, so if I ask a silly question that has been answered to death, please direct me to the thread so that I may no longer be a null unit.

Thanks Paul very nice.

Here is perhaps a really stupid program idea? How many watt hours per pound can you get out of batteries or other hidden power sources.  Should show how long a OU needs to self run and power a load X,  to prove its OU.
