capture

Overview ¶

Example: Making a capture to practise debugging on

The other examples build a link and check that it works. This one builds a capture file that looks like something an antenna recorded, so the "Debug a real capture" guide has something realistic to work on:

• a run of noise before the first sync marker, because a recorder starts before the signal locks
• two virtual channels multiplexed together
• real Space Packets from two applications, some of them spanning frames
• one frame missing, so the counters show a gap
• one frame with bit errors in it, so the CRC has something to reject

It writes capture.bin next to itself and prints nothing but where it went and what is in it. Everything the guide works out from the file, it works out with the command line, not from this file.
