Feature Request - Add support for multi-platform RF scan exports #88

Open ESDJC opened 11 months ago

ESDJC commented 11 months ago

Please add support for widely used RF scan formats in the audio industry: Shure Wireless Workbench WWB csv Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager Audio Technica Wireless Manger Json Professional Wireless IAS

Each of these has their own requirements for scaling, data formats, and data points maximums per scan range (as well as some spectrum range limitations that they will not import outside of for some applications).

Support is needed natively in the application instead of using cumbersome conversion scripts after the fact. The supplied default .csv format is not recognized by any of these industry standard softwares and the average user is not going to go thru that much trouble. Native support of these file formats makes the TinySA infinitely more valuable to a community that would love to buy more of them.

Im willing to work on and help test these formats as necessary - however I am struggling with being able to get an IDE actually functioning and I know just enough to be dangerous - so I may need some help to contribute effectively to this.

Additionally, it would be excellent if you published an official standalone windows installer or exe with each release for the larger user community, the average user isnt going to compile the code just to use the app and the version hosted on TinySAs site appears to be older than the repo.

The latest release does have a CSV output format that seems to be acceptable for at least 3 of the major wireless management software. If you can add some samples of the required additional output formats I can have a look and estimate the effort implementing

Hey @erikkaashoek

I came to say thank you for making the SD card trace saves compatible with workbench, etc.

Could you please update the desktop control software to do the same? As far as I can tell it only outputs in Hz and as a single column of information in a CSV, rather than the two columns needed for most of these softwares.

Thanks!
