Does anyone here have a VNA eCAL (2 ports or 4 ports...)from Keysight, R&S or other big vendor ?
17:33
<
bvernoux >
I'm searching details of eCAL SCPI protocol
18:11
<
azonenberg >
bvernoux: ooh adding ecal support would be nice to have
18:11
<
azonenberg >
I have not seen any details on how the protocol works
18:44
<
bvernoux >
azonenberg, It seems very closed
18:45
<
bvernoux >
azonenberg, I have contributed on LibreCAL which seems the only one fully open hw/open source eCAL so far
18:45
<
bvernoux >
I plan to finish testing it this week end with full calibration/characterization on my VNA HP8753D (30KHz-6GHz with 1601pts)
18:46
<
bvernoux >
It is clearly a game changer vs all commercial eCAL available which are CRAZY expensive the less expensive is about 5KUSD and the same at Keysight is >15KUSD for 4 Ports up to 8GHz or more
18:51
<
bvernoux >
@azonenberg, we could at least add LibreCAL at start ;)
19:19
<
bvernoux >
I see David Ryskalczyk d235j is doing an amazing job to cleanup all the CMake mess we had since the start of glscopeclient/ngscopeclient
19:19
<
bvernoux >
Does it is also planned to support Visual Studio on Windows ?
19:21
<
azonenberg >
Yes that is in the works

(he goes by balrog on IRC, the irc-discord bridge is down right now)
19:21
<
balrog >
yes for MSVC, need more work though :)
19:22
<
bvernoux >
balrog, yes it is what I suspect too but advantage is MSVC build could be more optimized vs Mingw64 ...
19:23
<
balrog >
maybe, maybe not
19:23
<
balrog >
it's easier to develop though
19:23
<
balrog >
anyway we have mingw building on ucrt64 and clang64
19:23
<
balrog >
(and mingw32 too except for one annoying-to-work-around issue with the vulkan headers)
19:23
<
bvernoux >
I do not like ucrt64 it is bloated with tons of crappy M$ stuff
19:23
<
balrog >
(and since azonenberg doesn't care about 32bit, it doesn't seem like we'll fix it on our end)
19:24
<
bvernoux >
but clang64 is clearly interesting to compare vs mingw64
19:24
<
balrog >
the crappy MS stuff that bloats it will be a problem on MSVC, so we might as well fix it anyway
19:24
<
balrog >
(also, what stuff exactly?)
19:24
<
bvernoux >
yes 32bits is clearly something from the paste > 15years ago ;)
19:25
<
bvernoux >
balrog, to avoid at maximum crappy MSVC stuff I usually use static link with -MT instead of -MD ...
19:26
<
balrog >
oh, you don't want to have to install the more updated redistributable?
19:26
<
bvernoux >
I try to avoid all those crap ;)
19:27
<
bvernoux >
Also executable are faster when statically linking those crap
19:27
<
bvernoux >
But yes both case are possible smaller EXE with external DLL requiring redistributable or something selfcontained with static link
