Querying Winterhill

Post by M0DQW » Fri Jul 14, 2023 11:56 pm

Hi guys,

I am making some little utilities for myself and I would like to pull the MER value for each of the 4 tuners, live from the Winterhill.

I know there is a base port of 9900, but tbh, I am not sure how to connect to that, or even if I can grab data from it.

On Toms Winterhill client he seems to have a constant data stream for each tuner port, showing the information I need.

Please could I ask someone to point me in the right direction?

Parsing data and connection I can do myself, just need to know where to pull it from.

Thanks
Matt

There are UDP textual data feeds on ports 9903 and 9904.

9903 shows a list of parameters for each receiver. You only get data for a particular receiver when the TS is being sent to that PC. $0 gives the receiver number. For the status number definitions, have a look at main.h in ~/winterhill/whsource-3v20/whmain-3v20

You could also look at the 4 line status display on port 9904. This gives the status of all receivers, as long as at least one of the TS is being sent to that PC.
