The DisplayView is slick! Are there keywords for CC Freq or RID Alias?
Just realized that the $RID$ keyword was not working in this mornings release. 10-19_1616 fixes this bug and adds the $CC_FREQ$ and $V_FREQ$ keywords. Image is capture from the P25RX version of the software.

For TDMA CC sites the WACN: id toggles on/off continuously. It is very apparent when on the DisplayView tab. Can it locked on?

I'm not easily seeing the reason for this. Can you provide a short sample of the console output while monitoring TDMA CC.

Log attached. WACN flashes when idle and on solid during voice call.

My Display View settings do not appear to be saved.
I also tried exporting my settings but it exported an empty settings file that did noting upon restoring from it.

One other thing I noticed, when in the Display Views editor, I make changes and then click the Save button and close the editor.
My changes are reflected on the screen but if I open the editor again and make another change, the Save button is always greyed out.
I must close and restart BTConfig to get the Save button back but again, it only allows one save.
Are these changes stored in the P25RX itself when you click save? I only ask that as I don't see any new files anywhere on the computer unless I do an export from the display view editor but like I said above, the export feature of the editor appears to save a basically blank file. It contains the key words used but none of my settings.

Thanks Todd!

@kruser, the configuration is stored based on the MAC ID of the device. It may be that when you loaded BTConfig, that the MAC failed to be detected. Does it show the MAC address in the white area at the top of the window next to RFSS ID:? I'm changing some delays today to try and make Windows, Mac, and Linux all consistent with regards to timing. I think I may have found a way to do this finally. I'll upload 10-20_1016. This version has NOT been tested on Windows yet, but it does work for me on Linux and Mac so far. Let me know.

Yes it does show the MAC Todd. It's also correct!
I'll give 1016 a try here in a bit and see how things work.

Thanks

I didn't answer some of your questions. Obviously there should not be an empty export file, there must be an error when writing one or more of the parameters on your system. I wonder if it has to do with assuming there is a SansSerif font on all systems (default font)? The Save Config button gets disabled after you save. It will only be re-enabled if you modify the key-word strings or the display width parameter. The check-boxes are automatically saved when you change them. The export file is a binary file. The configuration settings are stored in a Java preferences file. The location / file is OS dependent.

I'm not really seeing any changes with 1016 Todd.

When I change something like unchecking the Enable box for the $SYS_NAME$ field or the WACN: $WACN$ SYS_ID: $SYS_ID$ NAC: $NAC$ field, the selection to not display these items is not saved. I also noticed when the checkboxes are toggled on or off, the Save button does not return, it stays greyed out.
Same thing with the Save button not returning when I change the Font Size. The font size value is saved though.

I can export and save a file but it appears to not save my checkbox choise. Specificallty the Enable value.
Upon a restarrt of BTConfig, all the Enable checkboxes are checked again for all fields.

I've attached an example. I notice the saved file has no extension for display view exported files unless I give the file an extension at export. Not sure if that's a big deal or not.

I also noticed when I looked at the exported files, they are changing the contents of the file but it appears to only be changing the font used or the font name used. I can't see that the exported files are saving my checkbox settings unless that stuff is stored in the Java pref file you mentioned. I did not look for any changed files in the java folder or elsewhere. The data in the export file is exactly the same after I change a checkbox and do an export. That's looking at the file as Binary, Hex or plain Ascii.

So, basically, it appears the checkbox selection is what is not being saved. Something does appear to be saving my font size and font selection for each field. It's just the Enable box selection that's not being saved it seems. I think the checkbox value for Clear On No Voice is also not saved.
If I restart BTConfig so I have an active Save button again, changing an Enable box for any of the fields and then clicking the Save button does not save my Enable box selections. Hope all that made sense!

I do like the Display View feature! It's pretty neat now that it's there.

Thanks!

@kruser, you are correct about the enable checkbox not being saved/restored. I got that fixed. The reason your display file doesn't work too well is that the font colors are all black except for the one that shows up. It is a complete export and not corrupted. The fonts also look better when they are 70 or larger. I decided not to disable the <save> button after saving since it is causing confusion. It now updates the status on the main window to let you know that it did something, but always remains enabled. The updated version will be 10-20_1424 when Shopify starts working again. I can't upload / manage files on the web site right now for some reason.

That all makes sense Todd!
I did forget about messing with the font colors when I was trying to figure out the save button thing. I was changing things trying to get the button to become active again!
I'll reset back to the defaults when 1424 becomes available.

Thanks for looking into this one so quick.

Tried update for flashing WACN in TDMA CC. It is on solid in the Display View tab now. Still flashing in the white area at top of window.

When you said this, I realized that there was no way to reset to defaults other than importing a file. There is now a "reset to defaults" option that looks better than the previous first-time defaults. 10-20_2245. Thanks.

On version _2245, in Display View, the top three lines flicker if I have "Clear on No Voice" checked. They do clear on no voice, but when a voice is present, they flicker.
