Hi Charles,
I have selected source Vmix Video in DATVExpress, started Vmix, no display colour bar, when I press OUTPUT no stream.
Can you send me your OUTPUT Vmix parameters ?
73 Franck, Tnx
Hi Franck - did you try setting the locale like I suggested? It would at least eliminate that as a reason. Also don't forget to disable the firewall and any anti-virus software to see if its being blocked.

Hi Charle and Mike,
Sorry Mike, I forget you ;-) I try to change Local , same problem.
Charles , my config Vmix is the same that your dump screem.
I start to believe that my pluto has a problem, yet it works very well with SDRAngel, it's a funny story ...
You can see the interrupts on Titioun monitor. Same problem on 1249Mhhz >>> no Synchro (PID are 33/49 in datvexpress)

Ah - so it is working but it is glitching? That sounds like a power problem. Can you try using a powered USB2 hub?

Yes I have glitchs, I have not powered usb hub, but i have powered the pluto, it is same problem.

My signal is not good. I have try to test it with IIO Oscilloscope ( software from Analog device and cable short) , and I think there are a problem.

I would go with resetting everything to factory default and work up from there.

I have reload firmware and reset, same problem.
But after adjust the parameters in IIO Scope, my signal is best, but I think I have problem with my TX Pluto output, because PO marker is not stable , and the signal level PO is low.

I've just upgraded both my PCs (I7 3.2 desktop) and my portable tablet Lynx12C64 (Intel Atom at 1.75). My desktop works as expected, and shows a TX queue of around 20% on 2000kS. Both my Plutos are fine. External USB power and USB to a Port on the desktop.
The tablet used to work with the LP10 release as I have been using it extensively as a signal generator for amp experiments. Indeed SEEMS to work (able to select capture devices so PTT becomes active) however when PTT is clicked the TX Queue shows 0% and I'm getting NO rf.
I've refreshed the drivers for the Pluto from the link in the latest manual and also 'repaired' (windows words) the Microsoft Redistributable Visual C++ (32-bits). The Pluto shows up as a com port as per the manual too.
I'm wondering what else I could try? It was so handy......

Hi,
I do not know how exactly you used your Pluto. I gathered some informations here, sorry it's in French.

you may have forgotten something...also look at the windows firewall, datvexpress must have permission

Analog Devices have just released new firmware for the Pluto

https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/plu ... /tag/v0.30

I have tested it with the DATV-Express Software and it still works.
If anything the new S/W appears to have slightly improved the USB2 performance
it now seems quite stable at 4MSymbols/sec.
