  21. psin(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit psin(1)
  22. NAME
  23. psin - Import PIB Prescalers
  24. SYNOPSIS
  25. psin [options] [&lt;stdin] file
  26. SYNOPSIS
  27. Read an amplitude map from stdin and insert it into a nexisting PIB file, replacing the previous amplitude map. This
  28. program permits custom amplitude maps to be loaded into a PIB file. It can also pipe a map directly from one PIB file to
  29. another. Atheros can provide standard amplitude maps (prescalers) that conform to most national or international EMI
  30. regulations. Generally speaking, these maps should not be modified but there are execeptions.
  31. This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the AMP man page for an overview and installation
  32. instructions.
  33. CAVEATS
  34. The Atheros Windows Device Manager determines the type of prescalers stored in the PIB by inspecting the ToneMaskType
  35. 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
  36. prescaler set in a PIB and the ToneMaskType code is not updated to reflect the change then the Windows Device Manager
  37. will continue to display the previous prescaler type. This will confuse Windows Device Manager users. Use program set‐
  38. pib to set the ToneMaskType code and program pskey to verify the true prescaler type.
  39. OPTIONS
  40. None.
  41. ARGUMENTS
  42. file The name of an Atheros Parameter Information Block (PIB) file. The original prescalers are replaced and the
  43. checksum is re-computed. By convention, PIB files have a .pib extension but this program does not enforce that
  44. convention and does not make any assumption based on filename or extension but the program will reject invalid PIB
  45. files. Only one file may be specified on the command line.
  46. FILES
  47. An amplitude map consists of 1155 frequency-amplitude pairs. Each pair consists of a decimal index and a hexadecimal
  48. scaler value. The index represents a frequecy from 1.8 mhz through 30 mhz. The scaler represents the amplitude attenua‐
  49. tion applied at that frequency. The frequency and attenuation are computed as follows.
  50. frequency = (index + 74) / 40.96
  51. decibels = 20 * log10 (scaler / 256)
  52. EXAMPLE
  53. The following example loads prescaler file abc.psc into PIB file abc.pib. The ToneMaskType code is not updated by this
  54. operation and should be updated separately to avoid confusing Windows Device Manager users. Program setpib is one means
  55. of updating this code.
  56. # psin &lt; abc.psc abc.pib
  57. DISCLAIMER
  58. PIB file structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros, Ocala FL USA. Consequently, public information is not
  59. available. Qualcomm Atheros reserves the right to modify PIB file structure or content in future firmware releases with‐
  60. out any obligation to notify or compensate users of this program.
  61. Tampering with prescaler settings may violate national or international electo-magnetic emission standards and lead to
  62. fines or penalties. Qualcomm Atheros shall not be held responsible for any consequences of modifications made to
  63. prescaler sets provided to their customers.
