EMSS-Antennas / B2LNAdataextract

LNA bias values currently need to be entered manually into the SPF SHIELD GUI. These values need to be looked up in as-built documentation, which is an extra step allowing human error. This code extracts the relevant data in a format that SHIELD can autopopulate the LNA bias fields.

Band 2 LNA bias values extraction tool

This application serves the purpose of performing the data extraction part of the automation of the LNA bias programming on the SPF SHIELD software.

Usage and Format

This application takes in 1 argument in the form of a string. This string should be the full serial number of the LNA. Ex SLB007

The application shall return a .txt file with the LNA bias data in the following format:

The text file will be named after the serial number argument. If the text file exists, it WILL be overwritten.

Drain voltage 1
Drain voltage 2
Drain voltage 3
Drain current 1
Drain current 2
Drain current 3
Gate voltage 1
Gate voltage 2
Gate voltage 3

Compilation

run python -m pip install pyinstaller in cmd prompt or powershell etc.

Run the .bat file. This will create 2 folders, one called build, the other dist. The release binary file is located in /dist - this is to be used from SPF SHIELD
