Hi,

this are some trivial zapping applications explaining how to use the frontend
and demux API. They are also pretty useful to test your hardware.

For DVB-S, Astra Channel config file:

$ ./szap -c channels-conf/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E n24

will tune to N24. For DVB-C, Berlin Cable channel config:

$ ./czap -c channels-conf/dvb-c/de-Berlin Arte

For DVB-T, Berlin Config:

$ ./tzap -c channels-conf/dvb-t/de-Berlin phoenix

For ATSC, Raleigh Durham Config:

$ ./azap -c channels-conf/atsc/us-Raleigh-Durham WRAL

will tune to WRAL's Digital Channel 5-1.

By default the MPEG stream is routed to a hardware decoder. If you want to
record the stream to disk you will route it to the DVR device by using the
'-r' option:

$ ./tzap -c channels-conf/dvb-t/de-Berlin phoenix -r
[keep it running in one console]
$ cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > /tmp/recording.ts
[in a second console, will dump the MPEG transport stream to /tmp/recording.ts]

The status messages have the following meaning:

status 0x1f              --- The demodulator status bits.
			      0x1f means all bits set, everything ok.

signal [0x0000...0xffff] --- Signal Strength. Values above 0x8000 should be ok.

snr [0x0000...0xffff]    --- Signal/Noise Ratio. Values above 0x8000 are ok.

ber [0...0xffffffff]     --- Bit Error Rate. The less the better.

unc [0...0xffffffff]     --- Number of Uncorrectable Blocks.
			     Small numbers are Preferable.

If everything is alright and all frontend circuits are working stable
(are locked) you should see a FE_HAS_LOCK in the rightmost line.

Good luck,

Holger

/*
 * This driver simply send out caracters on the serial port, without any 
 * formatting instructions for a particular LCD device. 
 * This is useful for custom boards of for very simple LCD.
 *
 * I use it for tests on a custom-made board based on a AVR microcontroler
 * and also for driver a Point-of-Sale text-only display.
 * I assume the following :
 * - CR (0x0d) Return to the begining of the line without erasing,
 * - LF (0x0a) Initiate a new line (but without sending the cursor to 
 * the begining of the line)
 * - BS (0x08) Move the cursor to the previous caracter (but does no erase it).
 * - It's not possible to return to the first line. Thus a back buffer is used
 * in this driver.
 * 
 * ******** UPDATE *********
 * I have added a "VT-100 Compatible mode" that allows the driver to support
 * control-sequence code. This greatly reduce flickering and eliminate the need
 * for the back-buffer. But it is optional since all displays cannot support them.
 * Here are the codes:
 * Delete the display (but does not move the cursor) : 
 *    "ESC [ 2 J"     (0x1b 0x5b 0x32 0x4a)
 * Position the cursor :
 *    "ESC [ YY ; XX H" ( 0x1b 0x5b YY 0x3b XX 0x48 ) where YY is the ascii for the line 
 *    number, and XX is the ascii for the column number ( first line/column is '1', not zero)
 * Delete to the end of line from current cursor position :
 *    "ESC [ 0 K" ( 0x1b 0x5b 0x30 0x4b )
 * Set Country Code : 
 *    "ESC R NN"  (0x1b 0x52 NN) where NN is the country code *in byte, NOT ascii*.
 *    The default is 0 (USA), see below for specific countries. 
 *    the list of accessible characters page are available on this page : 
 *    http://www.wincor-nixdorf.com/internet/com/Services/Support/TechnicalSupport/POSSystems
 *    /Manuals/BAxx/index.html
 * Get the display identification : (Doesn't work reliably, timing issues here)
 *    "ESC [ 0 c" ( 0x1b 0x5b 0x30 0x63). Return a string which look like this : 
 *  ESC [ ? M ; NN ; OO ; PP ; QQ c) where M is type of display (2 for VFD),
 *  NN is the rom version, 00 is the current caracter set, PP is the number of lines and 
 *  QQ the number of colomns.  
 * 
 *
 * A "bar" capability is now provided if the config file has a "BarCharValue" parameter in it.
 *
 * The code come mostly taken from the LCDTerm driver in LCD4Linux, from 
 * Michaels Reinelt, many thanks to him.
 *
 * This driver is released under the GPL.
