TCPIP display pan
Create a panadapter display.
Only the GUI client may create a Panadapter successfully today. Issue #2323 has been added to address this bug.
C[D]<seq_number>|display pan c freq=<frequency> [ant=[antenna]] [x=[width]] [y=[height]]
<frequency> = frequency in MHz, up to 15 significant digits
[antenna] = (optional) antenna port designator (ANT1, ANT2, RX_A, RX_B, XVTR)
[width] = (optional) the width of the display in pixels
[height] = (optional) the height of the display in pixels
Example:
C21|display pan c 10.0 1 800 400

= the 32-bit hex ID number of the stream to be used as a reference in the client. Your client implementation should save this value so that it can be used in subsequent "set" commands.
= similar reference to the waterfall stream that is automatically created with the Pandapter object.

R21|0|0x40000000,0x42000000
Remove (delete) a panadapter display
C[D]<seq_number>|display pan r <stream_id>
<stream_id> = the panadapter stream ID returned in the prior create command
Example:
C19|display pan r 0x40000000

Retrieve settings that govern the RF Gain control in the radio. Since the RF Gain is a function of hardware implementations, each radio may have different control settings. This command retrieves the details that will make implementation of a control surface possible.
C[D]<seq_number>|display pan rfgain_info <stream_id>
<stream_id> = the panadapter stream ID returned in the prior create command
Example:
C21|display pan rfgain_info 0x40000000

Responses
: low setting for the control : high setting for the control : the increment between steps, or granularity of the control : the locations of one or more markers to be placed on the control if possible. Each will be separated from the next by a comma
Response Example:
R21|0|-10,30,10,0,20
In this case the control should have setting that go from -10 to 30 in steps of 10 (so -10, 0, 10, 20, 30) and there should be a market at 0 and 20 if possible.
Change parameters that affect the panadapter display or underlying hardware
C[D]<seq_number>|display pan s <stream_id> <param=value> [<param=value>...]
<stream_id> = the panadapter stream ID returned in the prior create command
<param=value> = a parameter and new value to be changed (one or more of these)
Example:
C12|display pan s xpixels=1000 ypixels=500
| Parameter | Meaning and Values |+Valid set parameters |
|---|---|
| center | change center frequency in MHz of the panadapter display (14.100, for example) |
| bandwidth | change bandwidth in MHz of the panadapter display (0.100, for example) |
| xpixels | change the width of the panadapter display in pixels (1000, for example) |
| ypixels | change the height of the panadapter display in pixels (500, for example) |
| fps | change the desired number of frames of panadapter data per second to be received (15-30 frames per second is typical) |
| min_dbm | change the minimum (y-pixel-min) of the display in dBm (-150.0, for example) |
| max_dbm | change the maximum (y-pixel-max) of the display in dBm (0.0, for example) |
| port | change the target port number for the data[^1] |
| ant | change the antenna for this display. The valid list of antennas can be retrieved with the TCP/IP antenna list command |
| rfgain | change the rfgain for the SCU. The valid range for this command must be found using the rfgain_info command.[^2] |
| average | change the level of averaging displayed <0-100> |
| band | set which band is being used for the panafall. If specifying a regular HF band, command takes the form of band= . If specifying a XVTR band, command takes the form of band=x |
| reset_band | reset the band |
| autocenter | auto center the panadapter <1|0> |
| line_duration | set the waterfall line duration <1-100> |
| daxiq_channel | set the associated DAX IQ Channel <1-4> |

[^1]: Generally you should filter based on VITA-49 packet headers, not port. Some microcontroller implementations may require port filtering, though
[^2]: Preamp and attenuator selection and settings are calculated automatically by SmartSDR based on this parameter
