Profiles and screen resolution

Post by Esquizo » Mon Feb 29, 2016 9:04 am

Hi. I'm using my SDRPlay with a netbook under XP. I'm using it in HF with a 200K bandwidth and it works superb. The soft used is HDSDR. Inside the Extio options is the Profiles button. When I try to use it and assign a profile, I can't save the profile because I can't see the save button. The screen resolution in netbooks is 1024 x 600 and the portrait format of the profiles window exceeds the screen. Is it possible to modify in next Extio versions the profiles window to a landscape format? :?:

Hello,

Unfortunately, Microsoft units aren't pixels so it's difficult for me to know how far off this is - could you post a screenshot? In the code, the window is set to 290 units x 445 units. To give you an idea, the main ExtIO panel is 565 units x 278

If I can see a screenshot it will let me know how much it needs to reduce by.

Best regards,

Thank you for your answer. Here is the first capture with the Extio option.

Is that netbook as in " old Atom N200 (1.6GHz) based netbook"? That would be amazing!

For the time being, most of those little 10" netbooks have a "virtual screen" function, for example activated with CTRL+Fn+Arrow keys, or simply by right-clicking the desktop and selecting the graphics properties and changing resolution to 1280x768 (or whatever higher resolution will fit) - you are getting a larger desktop where you can scroll around with the mouse or arrow keys. This will give you an opportunity to reach the buttons, when you're finished you can put the screen resolution back to 1280x600.

It's an Atom N450 (Packard Bell) with 2GB RAM. If I work with the main screen the max resolution is 1024 x 600, but if i use an external screen, I can use other resolutions higher than native resolution. The idea is to use this netbook as portable solution with no external monitor.

In other netbook i have (Asus), i can select the virtual panel as you say but it's a Celeron and works worse than the Atom. The Atom has not option of virtual screen. The Atom, using HDSDR, has a 27% - 30% of CPU load working in HF with 200 Khz bandwidth with perfect audio.

Sorry for the delay on this. I have just resized the profiles page which will appear in the next release of the ExtIO plugin. We're working on it, but I don't have a release date as yet, I just wanted to let you know I hadn't forgotten.

Best regards,
