- psin(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit psin(1)
- NAME
- psin - Import PIB Prescalers
- SYNOPSIS
- psin [options] [<stdin] file
- SYNOPSIS
- Read an amplitude map from stdin and insert it into a nexisting PIB file, replacing the previous amplitude map. This
- program permits custom amplitude maps to be loaded into a PIB file. It can also pipe a map directly from one PIB file to
- another. Atheros can provide standard amplitude maps (prescalers) that conform to most national or international EMI
- regulations. Generally speaking, these maps should not be modified but there are execeptions.
- This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the AMP man page for an overview and installation
- instructions.
- CAVEATS
- The Atheros Windows Device Manager determines the type of prescalers stored in the PIB by inspecting the ToneMaskType
- code which is also stored in the PIB but is not part of the prescaler set. If this program is used to store a new
- prescaler set in a PIB and the ToneMaskType code is not updated to reflect the change then the Windows Device Manager
- will continue to display the previous prescaler type. This will confuse Windows Device Manager users. Use program set‐
- pib to set the ToneMaskType code and program pskey to verify the true prescaler type.
- OPTIONS
- None.
- ARGUMENTS
- file The name of an Atheros Parameter Information Block (PIB) file. The original prescalers are replaced and the
- checksum is re-computed. By convention, PIB files have a .pib extension but this program does not enforce that
- convention and does not make any assumption based on filename or extension but the program will reject invalid PIB
- files. Only one file may be specified on the command line.
- FILES
- An amplitude map consists of 1155 frequency-amplitude pairs. Each pair consists of a decimal index and a hexadecimal
- scaler value. The index represents a frequecy from 1.8 mhz through 30 mhz. The scaler represents the amplitude attenua‐
- tion applied at that frequency. The frequency and attenuation are computed as follows.
- frequency = (index + 74) / 40.96
- decibels = 20 * log10 (scaler / 256)
- EXAMPLE
- The following example loads prescaler file abc.psc into PIB file abc.pib. The ToneMaskType code is not updated by this
- operation and should be updated separately to avoid confusing Windows Device Manager users. Program setpib is one means
- of updating this code.
- # psin < abc.psc abc.pib
- DISCLAIMER
- PIB file structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros, Ocala FL USA. Consequently, public information is not
- available. Qualcomm Atheros reserves the right to modify PIB file structure or content in future firmware releases with‐
- out any obligation to notify or compensate users of this program.
- Tampering with prescaler settings may violate national or international electo-magnetic emission standards and lead to
- fines or penalties. Qualcomm Atheros shall not be held responsible for any consequences of modifications made to
- prescaler sets provided to their customers.
