ADF4351 LCD version missing software - any good soul?
« on: December 15, 2021, 05:37:13 pm »
Hi,
just bought an ADF4351 board (the one with LCD touch) but in the heat of the moment I selected a seller that does not list the software for optionally driving it.
Now, I don't plan to use the software for the application I need (Oscar 100 sat transceiver, to downconvert the LNB into ham frequencies to skip the SDR rx) but I could in the future drive it using a pc.
Since the seller is taking some time to address my request, could any good soul to share the software?
I see that a serial port does show up, and somewhere there is a protocol description but just to not reinvent the wheel...
Hope this does not break any rule, in this case please disregard.

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at this thread:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/rf-microwave/how-to-control-ltdz-max2870-23-5-6000mhz-signal-source/

for some pointers to PC software and other tech info.

Hi Ledtester,
I did already see some posts, but following your suggestion(Thanks!) I re-read them and after some fiddling, this is the link to the software:

https://www.tonyplaza.nl/download/YT054/PLZ-PLL-435X.zip

It seems it is from Tony Albus, found the reference here:

https://techymetrics.com/download/SUf2T9pSD3Y/054-adf4351-lcd-signal-generator-35-4400-mhz-with-sweep

There are other downloads related to ADF451, but I did not test them (yet).

As always, use at your own risk, VirusTotal says ok (2/60 detection rate, no big AV complained)

Thanks again for your suggestion, I would not have looked again there.
