Hey Jared,
The only thing we have found to be consistent is direct connection to a PC with native (hardware on cpu) USB 3.0. We have had some luck with USB 3.0 hubs and PCI USB 3.0 cards, while others outright fail. I can’t comment on the Thinkpad hub unfortunately.
I asked Justin about the behavior you noted with the mod on/off button, and this appears to be the necessary setup when using the DDS on the VSG. You will see this on the frequency modulated signals such as FM/FSK. You will see another type of behavior for the ARB modulated signals like PSK/multi-tone, again, simply the necessary setup. We are assuming you are looking to achieve some sort of video trigger effect, especially with the request to transmit ‘n’ packets. This is definitely something we will consider on the next hardware revision if we can.
As always, I keep track of all feature requests, thank you for testing the VSG.
Regards,
A.J.
