Pdw-f330k pdf

Peter, thank you for all your efforts! You can read more about that below. Since April , PDW is available as open source software. This enables others e. You can find the Github project repository here.

I lack the time to give individual support with PDW. Please refer to the Forum on this site. Although Peter never wanted to earn money with PDW, some people kept on pushing him to offer a donation option. The first option compares the current capcode and message with the previous. The second only checks the message text. The last option compares the address and when monitoring pocsag, also the function number as well as the message text.

This last option also enables a timer minutes. If a message is repeated within this period, it will be blocked. As some of you probably already know, RS is a standard for serial data communication. This is the main reason why additional drivers are needed comprt. In the Interface Setup window the data's polarity could be inverted, or set to Auto.

This automatic detection will now allways be used, you can't select a manual setting anymore. This value is now being shown below the signal indicator and is an indicator for decoding errors. These errors can be either visible garbled messages or coloured characters , or invisible corrected by the error correction. The filters. The numbering has been removed and the FilterCount is not more than an indication.

After searching a filter, F3 could be used to find the next filter. The word wrap option has been removed. Internally it is now always enabled, except when monitoring Mobitex. This will open the Logfile Dialog in which the logfile can be enabled or disabled.

ALT-L can be use as shortcut to this dialog. Before, at the second click the text below the mouse cursor would be selected, regardless of the position of the first click. Both clicks should be at the exact same position, otherwise you can rapidly click on two different words, causing the second to be selected. Should be fixed now. I've made several changes in the Find Filter window. When this window will be closed after searching, you can use F3 to search again, using the same search string.

Because of above change, but also on request, PDW will remember the the 'Case Sensitive' selection for as long as it runs. Before, the selection would disappear when the Find Filter window was closed. The option 'Search while Typing' has been removed. PDW will now always search while typing.

Also, the number of hits will appear, the number of times the search string appears in the filters. This number will be updated after each key stroke. Some extra keys can be used in the Filter window.

As in other software, the space bar will scroll down, just like the 'PageDown' key. If you wanted to delete a non-consecutive number of filters, this was possible with the 'Delete' button, but not with the 'Delete' key, which should be fixed now. The 'Enter' key would close the Filter window, but now the selected filter will be opened for editing.

I don't think you will have to use the mouse often anymore. Once again, a little change regarding this option. It seemed desirable to block duplicate messages in the filter window also. Before, PDW only checked for duplicate messages in the monitor window, which could cause situations like this :. Nothing would be blocked in the monitor window, the first and last message are no duplicate because of the middle one. If you wanted to filter Message-1 code , but not Message-2 code , Message-1 would appear twice in the filter window.

This is solved now, a separate comparison will be made for filtered messages. The only oddity could be that the second instance of Message-1 would appear in het monitor window, but not in the filter window, causing the message to be blocked "partially".

However, this change will lead to less duplicated messages in the filter window. In the previous version I've made lots of changes regarding Mobitex. Unfortunately, I've made a little mistake in decoding the BaseIDs, causing them to be displayed wrongly.

So if you have already started collecting IDs of base stations in your area, I'm afraid that you will have to start all over again With a double left mouse click you can now select a word or address, which you can add to the clipboard using CTRL-C or a right click and 'Copy Selection' , so you can easily paste it somewhere else. Regarding this option, I received a request to only check the message text. Before, PDW compared -if this option was enabled- the current address and message with those of the previous.

If there was a match, the second would not be displayed. However, it seemed desirable if only the message text could be compared, so consecutive messages with the same text, but different addresses, could also be blocked. Next to the option 'Block Duplicate Messages' you will now find 'Only check message text' which will make PDW only check the message text. Regardless of this change, the option 'Block Duplicate Messages' blocked a bit too much in Mobitex.

This would only occur with so-called status messages when the Mobitex option 'Verbose' was enabled. If the Mobitex option 'Verbose' was enabled, status messages and sweep frames containing base station information would appear. Sweep Frames can now be showed apart from status messages. In the previous versions I already made the first changes regarding Mobitex. This version contains only Mobitex changes. Not everyone likes to monitor Mobitex, since most data is unreadable.

But I discovered that lots of issues were decoded wrongly. Already in the previous version, I was wondering how the 'messages' were addressed. Every message package of data has to have a destination, the receiver has to know what data is his, and what isn't. Mobitex seems to use MANs Mobitex Access Numbers , 7-digit numbers which can represent the destination and also the sender.

In all previous versions this data was already visible, but was displayed as the first part of the data. This first part is in fact a header, which contains the MANs, datatype, amount of data and can also contain controlling and network information. Both MANs will now be displayed, along with the data type. This means that I had to get rid of 3 other items, allowing the new items to be displayed. Also, the RX-Quality for Mobitex has been improved a bit, so it should be more reliable.

By default, they will all be shown. Like GSM and other cell switched networks, a radio device doesn't only communicate with another device, but also with the network. After all, when switching on a device, it sends a notification, so the network knows that this device is available and via which base station the data has to be sent.

Since Mobitex is two-way traffic, things as acknowlegdements also need to be transmitted. These are very short messages, which also were displayed in a wrong way. I don't want to go into this too deeply, but you can enable this type of information by enabling "Verbose" in the Options Window. People who already monitor will certainly know the periodic, long and unreadable messages which always seem to contain about the same data.

When a recording is played back from the disc, its physical location on the disc does not impact the time required to access it. Recordings can be accessed in a fraction of the equivalent time taken to access information on disc, making it much easier and faster to locate source material. This is the beauty of random access, and all Sony XDCAM products are equipped with powerful features- delivering innovation to all your programming operations.

XDCAM optical discs have a natural advantage since they suffer no mechanical contact during recording or playback, making the format ideal for continuous use and re-use. The XDCAM Professional Disc media is highly resistant to dust, shock, and scratches, and is packaged in an extremely durable and dust-resistant cartridge.

It is resistant to heat and humidity, and is X-ray resistant - factors that make the XDCAM Professional Disc media ideal for use in harsh field environments, and also allows for long media life and long-term storage. This allows users to save time and start operation instantly.

Page Appendix Putting a cloth, for example, over the unit can cause excessive internal heat build-up. Before storing the camcorder for a long period Remove the battery pack. Condensation If you move the camcorder from a very cold place to a warm place, or use it in a damp location, condensation may form on the optical pickup.

Then, if the camcorder is operated in this state, recording and playback may not be performed properly. Page Maintenance Maintenance Testing the Camcorder Before Shooting Check the functions of the camcorder before setting out for a shooting session, preferably by operating the camcorder together with a color video monitor. Preparations for testing Attach a fully charged battery pack. Testing the iris and zoom functions Set the zoom to automatic zoom mode and check that the power zoom operates correctly.

I'm not aware of current firmware at the moment. But I've read about jig updates and so Would the Pro work regardless of current firmware? I believe that some limitations of size was depending on installed firmware And a small MB stick is not easy to find these days. Most cameras has pre-settings that is not preferred by most pro-users.

Are there any settings that I should disable like auto-enhancment onces? Other settings? Other tips that might be useful? Thanks guys - this will be fun! Anyway - if it doesn't, I have multiple computers on my network so I might grab the video files via another computer.

But the editing should not be a problem with my setup, right? A PDW-U1 drive seems like a bit big investment at the moment Especially as you made such a good deal with the camera; a new U1 costs more that the whole !
