PERSEUS CONTROL SOFTWARE V3.0beta1
The new V3.0beta1 software version features an improved graphics and digital signal processing.
It also fixes the bugs detected in the v3.0 beta and includes the most recent Perseus control DLL (v3.5)*.
Unlike the the previous software versions, both the application software and the control DLL are now compiled with the Microsoft VC2008 C++ compiler and have been optimized for an even better performance.
Please note that, as many details have been changed passing from the previous compiler to the new one, this software is distributed as a "beta" version. A definitive 3.0 software version will be distributed as soon any eventual error introduced in this release will be fixed.
Please read carefully the release notes provided in the software distribution for more.
Bugs fixed from the previous software version:
- Inconsistent GUI setting at software startup leaves vectored Noise Blanker enabled causing distortion.
- Double mouse clicks on record/playback bar cause playback odd behaviour.
- Memories at more than 400 kHz from center frequency can't be selected in playback/rec (wav file) mode.
- Non existent wav file selection in the playback file selection dialog causes software exception and abnormal termination.
- Hardware IDhanges prevent licensed software options to be properly detected.
NOTE (*) The new perseususb.dll provided in this version should be copied also in the folders where third party software which relies on it (i.e. CWSkimmer) have been installed.

Michael Feilen's Ratemonkey
Ratemonkey is a real time sample rate converter developed by Michael when working to the DRM+ transmitter project leaded by Prof. Dr. Andreas Steil at the Univerisity of Applied Science, Kaiserslautern, Germany.
"Last month I had some time to develop an application called Ratemonkey which does realtime sample rate conversion using the Perseus Receiver or a wave file as input device. The output samples can be streamed either over UDP or they can be written to a wave file. With Ratemonkey it becomes possible to use the Perseus Receiver at arbitrary integer samplerates between 1MHz and 100Hz. The resampled data can be send in realtime over UDP to process it with your own application. We needed use the application for our DRM+ research and I must say that Perseus does a great job here!" - Michael Feilen.
SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO DEVELOPMENT TOOLKIT
Are you interested in processing the wideband zero-IF data stream offered by the Perseus receiver and control the receiver with your own application software?
Microtelecom has developed a simple yet powerful SDR Development Toolkit (SDRDK) which allows you to interface your software to the Perseus receiver hardware directly.
The Microtelecom SDRDK includes C language APIs, control DLLs for Windows, FPGA configuration files images and a tutorial console application which explains step by step how to interface to the Perseus receiver and get out of it the data you're interested in.The SDRDK compiles with Microsoft Visual Studio C++5.0 or higher on Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Please note that the SDRDK does not contain any digital signal processing code, either in source form or executable. The SDRDK is not meant for filtering, demodulating or any other signal processing task. It simply provides you the means to control the Perseus receiver and get the wideband zero-IF data stream as it comes out of the receiver digital down converter (24 bit IQ samples, from 125 kS/s to 2 MS/s).
The development toolkit is offered for free to those who request it under the terms of the Microtelecom SDRDK Licensing Agreement.
