SuperSID station legends
fernando oliveira
I am collecting data as part of a research class.
It seems I have successfully installed the software, and the antenna is working, but what I see on the screen does not look like all the stations it should be plotting.
I have a 3-meter diameter copper tubing dual loop outside antenna and get a signal from 6 stations.
On the screen, I only see one line.
When I use the plot function, the files are all separated by the station; I do not have one file with all of them together.
Also, there are no legends. Once I plot a file, there is nothing showing what station the data is from.
Have I misconfigured my config file?

I was unsure what version to download from GitHub; thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I will let you know how it goes.
So far, I like how my antenna behaves, even with the power lines so close to my home.
I work full-time and am doing full-time college. Not much time for anything.
Hope I get some time in the next few days to install the GitHub version.

James,
The SuperSID no longer uses an external power supply, it uses the USB connection for power. What makes you think you need a new power supply?

The original SuperSIDs used a wall wart. Not sure if it was 5 or 12 VDC.

The SID receiver doesn't use a power supply. It draws it's power from the USB connector.

The USB cable is the power cable, it uses 5 volts from a USB socket - there is no data connection. The round plug plugs into a mic or mic/headphone socket and takes the signal from the SuperSID and puts it into the soundcard, an internal or external one. You have the external sound card, so that needs to be plugged into a USB socket as well. The round cable will plug into the socket closest to the volume control on the soundcard, marked by a microphone symbol. The BNC connector connects the cable from the antenna to the SuperSID. Once you have done all of those things the hardware is set up correctly.
Next, you will have to install the software, it will not run correctly until you have edited the configuration file. Instructions on how to do this are included on the USB stick that was included in the kit.
There may be some tweaks you have to make such as making sure the external soundcard is the default for recording, that it is set to 96kHz sampling rate, that there are no audio enhancements, and that the level is set to 100% to start with. All of this is achieved through the windows “Control Panel, Sound”.
Let me know if you need any further help.

James,
The web page at http://solar-center.stanford.edu/SID/sidmonitor/ has the latest SuperSID manual for more information about how the system works. There is a user group you are invited to join at https://groups.io/g/supersid. We hope users will post their questions, observations, etc., and share their experiences and knowledge with the group.
