~The Max SX8 can provide IQ samples in real time. They are 8 bit signed values embedded in TS packets with PID 0x200. API: Currently DTV_STREAM_ID is misused. 0x10000000 - symbols (locked and tracked) at symbol rate 0x20000000 - samples at symbol rate (fixed at ADC rate (1550/24=64.583... MHz) if 0x00010000 is set) Max. sample rate is 64.583333 MHz. 0x00xx0000 - flags Bit 0 : 0 = VTM/SDR, 1 = SCAN, Bit 1: 1 = Disable channel AGC, Bit 2: 1 = Set Gain. 0x0000xx00 - xx=gain 0x000000xx - xx=flags Bit 0:1 Preamp Mode; 0 = Preamp AGC, 1 == Minimum (~ -17dB) , 2 = Medium, 3 = Maximum gain {~ 15dB} Bit 2: Bypass Input LNA (6 dB less gain) (Note this is after Preamp) Bit 4: Set RF Gain Bit 5: Freeze RF Gain (Turn AGC off at current gain, only when already enabled) Bit 7: Optimize RF Gain and freeze for FFT
