(c) Factoria Labs 2016 WaveConverter is a Python application, built on GTK+ 3. The GUI has been implemented via Glade. A sqlite database has been implemented via sqlalchemy. Finally, waveform plotting uses matplotlib.

You will need gnuradio installed for this software to work. While you can install this via:

sudo apt-get install gnuradio

You will benefit from a much more recent version if you follow the instructions at:

http://fieldxp.com/Chapter-2-Installing-the-Software.pdf

NEW: waveconverter now relies on a collection of common, reusable code called "rf_utilities". For waveconverter to work, you must get this code and point your PYTHONPATH to its location. For Example:

git clone https://github.com/paulgclark/rf_utilities ~/code
export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:~/code"

(or better yet, add it to the end of ~/.bashrc)

To install the other pre-requisites for execution:

sudo apt-get install python-sqlalchemy
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
sudo apt-get install python-gi-cairo

If you are contributing to development, you will also need glade:

sudo apt-get install glade

To execute a test using an attached input I-Q file:

cd <install path>/src
./waveconverter.py -q ../input_files/fan_all_dip1101_pruned_dec_c304p55M_s830k.iq -o ../output_files/test.log -g -p 3

This will pre-load the appropriate protocol and input file. Clicking the Demod button will then produce a baseband waveform. Clicking the Decode button will then produce decoded data.
