|
After running `artiq_sinara_test`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Install gqrx `nix-shell -p gqrx`
|
|
|
|
|
2. Connect bladeRF via USB cable only
|
|
|
|
|
3. Run gqrx and choose `BladeRF #<number>...`
|
|
|
|
|
4. Default settings
|
|
|
|
|
5. When gqrx loaded, start DSP processing with frequency at mirnyN_chM freq
|
|
|
|
|
6. Connect the probe through attenuator to the Mirny's port
|
|
|
|
|
7. You should see significant signal emission on choosen freq compared to nearby freqs (see image below)
|
|
|
|
|
8. Repeat 5-7 for every channel

### With Almazny
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At first, `artiq_sinara_test` will prompt you for testing Mirnies as the would be without Almazny.
|
|
|
|
|
After that, it will prompt you with testing the Almazny:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similar to _Without Almazny_, check mirnies' channels emissions on defined frequencies.
|
|
|
|
|
You should also see differences in various modes, but that may require disabling the gain.

### Tips
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mirnies often fail `ValueError: MUXOUT not high`, in that case restart the tests or reboot the board(s).
