Author Topic: Ivie IE-33 Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 11-06-2003 07:45 PM                        Of course I had to try it. It is an interesting option, but not really necessary. I don`t think I will pay the $30 for registration once the trial is over. Where is the program stored on the ipaq? I couldn`t find the program files (I mean for Virtual Display).  |  IP: Logged Matt Zeiner Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Windsor, CT USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 11-06-2003 07:49 PM                     From Tom's Hardware.com: "the XScale is designed to operate out of the box at various clock speeds in order to optimize power consumption. " All ctrl does is hold the throttle open.  |  IP: Logged Matt Zeiner Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Windsor, CT USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 11-07-2003 06:16 AM                     In the program files directory, you should have a folder called Vdisplay - open that and there are several apps you can fool with - most changes require a soft reset and you have to fiddle with the settings till you find the ones that work best with various apps. You can save your settings for quick recall.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 11-07-2003 02:40 PM                        If I go Start>Programs>Virtual Display, then I can see all the subprograms. VD is also available on the opening screen. But I want to know where the actual files are installed and I couldn`t find the VD files anywhere with the file explorer. In Program files, I can only see IE33, Connections and Windows Media Player. In Windows\Programs, there is nothing. The IE33 v.5 is in iPaq File Store. But where is Virtual Display? Is Start>Programs an actual directory or just an overview of programs installed? I can use it, but I just always like to know where the programs are.  |  IP: Logged Matt Zeiner Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Windsor, CT USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 11-07-2003 03:24 PM                     thats them. there may be some .dll files somewhere else tho  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 11-07-2003 03:55 PM                        So where in the iPaq file structure is this directory located? Is My Device the root? Anyway, have you had time to run a test with the USL mux and both versions of IE33? Does it actually give you different readings over 30 seconds?  |  IP: Logged Matt Zeiner Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Windsor, CT USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 11-07-2003 06:52 PM                     I haven't used it with the mux yet. With my IE-2p both read within 1-3 db in the lower bands (discrepancy increases the lower the frequency being measured of course) and pretty close to even in the HF over 30 secs. The newer software matches VERY closely to the IE-30 measurement, however, in spite of the decreased S/N. I did an A-chain with it today - good, but not great. Still not quite fast enough to keep up with movements of the optic barrel, but fast enough to eventually arrive at a good alignment.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 11-07-2003 09:17 PM                        I still haven`t found the time to play with it on an A-chain. Do you use the mic input or the RCA for frequency response? I haven`t gotten a BNC/miniXLR adapter yet, so if I find time over the weekend, I would have to use the RCA inputs. Even though there is no XY yet, did you try the scope for buzz track and L-R alignment? edit - OK, forget the question, I just tested it and apparently channel 2 isn`t active yet.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

If you deactivate them all, the polling intervals go down to 65ms(!)  |  IP: Logged Matt Zeiner Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Windsor, CT USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 11-08-2003 06:44 AM                     You should use the line - ins (RCAs). They have a higher impedance and are less likely to load down the processor. I am a bit confused about the scope function - X/Y seems to work, but not 2 discrete ins - Ivie insists that the dual-trace function is active, but I can't get it to work... With no apps running in the background and running at 472mhz, mine will go down to 35-40ms!!  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 11-08-2003 03:18 PM                        In RTA mode, both inputs can be selected discretely but if ch 1+2 is selected, only input 2 (left) is active. The same goes for the sope function, I can get the X/Y display but not 2 channels at the same time. Why would the impedance of the input influence the processor?  |  IP: Logged Matt Zeiner Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Windsor, CT USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 11-08-2003 05:41 PM                     Why wouldn't it?  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 11-08-2003 05:44 PM                        I don`t understand how it would - wherever the analog signal goes in, it gets converted to digital data and then fed to the pocket pc.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-08-2003 09:43 PM                     Why don't you guys just meet at IVIE on Monday Morning and work with the engineers there on solving the bugs..... . I'll meet ya there at 4PM and well all head to dinner later on.... Mark @ CLACO P.S. Hey Matt, Any relation to the diode brothers of semiconductor fame ?  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 11-08-2003 10:23 PM                        Sorry, I am already completely booked on Monday! You are going to be really disappointed by this, Mark: Whatever the problems were I had charging the Compaq unit, they have disappeared. It works fine now, haha! I must have made some mistake there. The problems we are discussing here are only details which are probably going to be solved soon. It is only several weeks after the introduction of the analyzer, small bugs were to be expected. But I must say the openness with which the people at Ivie listen to criticism and how they solve those problems quickly is exemplary!  |  IP: Logged
