S meter Graph. How to enable S/N function?

[Rob PE1ITR]

Hi,

I would like to use the S/N function in the linrad S meter.

I am in linrad expert mode and can only toggle S, db, dbm and db/Hz.

How can I turn on S/N?

Using linrad 4.15.

Hi ,

 

there is no s/n mode , U have to measure S and N separately but U can normalize one of the measurements ( so choose your 0dB). It is a marvelous tool , I use it very often.

Hi Dom,

There must be a convenient S/N function without having to calculate it yourself.

Press help in the S graph

"[91]Press left mouse button to toggle scale between db, dbm, S-units, db/Hz and S/N."
"[3]..There is also a mode to display S/N where S is from a narrow bandwidth as specified in the baseband graph while N is computed from the full bandwidth. The S/N mode is only available for expert users. .."

It is also showing on this page: http://www.sm5bsz.com/lir/nf/nf3.htm

Hello Rob,

the S/N function uses the power from the second fft. You must
enable fft2 in order to get this mode.

The reason is that the power computation from the second fft
excludes those frequencies that are red in the main spectrum.
This is because we normally want to excluse spurs from S/N
measurements. In some cases it is meaningful to also eliminate
pulse noise in the S/N evaluation.

The signal is computed as the total power within the selected
baseband filter. The S/N ratio comes in an arbitrary scale
but since N is measured in a wide bandwidth and S in a very
narrow bandwidth one can do accurate measurements of S/N in
a short time.

Hi Leif,

Thanks. I found it and it works now.
