Programming Information for WiNRADiO G33DDC HF receiver.

The G33DDC API SDK is implemented as a 32-bit dynamic library (G33DDCAPI.dll). It provides object-oriented and non-object-oriented interfaces to control the G33DDC device. This document describes the non-object-oriented interface. The G33DDCAPI.dll library exports several functions that make it possible to control G33DDC receivers.

The API is not fully thread-safe so preferrably it should be used in single-threaded applications. It can be used in multi-threaded applications as well, but with some care: One G33DDC receiver can be controlled from a single user thread only.

A C/C++ header file G33DDCAPI.h is a part of the SDK. The API can be used by any 32-bit application under Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11 (including their 64-bit versions).

Using WiNRADiO G33DDC API

Loading API

The G33DDCAPI.dll library can be loaded to the application by two Microsoft Windows API functions. The first one is LoadLibrary and the other one is LoadLibraryEx. After the library is loaded, it is required to get addresses of exported functions. When the API is no longer required in the memory, the FreeLibrary function can be used to unload the API. Before the FreeLibrary is called, all the handles to G33DDC devices returned by the OpenDevice function must be closed by the CloseDevice function, otherwise the application can become to unpredictable state.

The following source code shows how to load the API.

 
#include <stdio.h>
#include "G33DDCAPI.h"

G33DDC_OPEN_DEVICE OpenDevice;
G33DDC_CLOSE_DEVICE CloseDevice;
HMODULE hAPI;

void main(void)
{  
    //Loading the API
    hAPI=LoadLibrary("G33DDCAPI.dll");

    if(hAPI!=NULL)
    {
        //Retrieving addresses of used API functions
        OpenDevice=(G33DDC_OPEN_DEVICE)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"OpenDevice");
        CloseDevice=(G33DDC_CLOSE_DEVICE)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"CloseDevice");

        //Here place code that uses the API

        FreeLibrary(hAPI);
    }
    else
    {
        //If the LoadLibrary fails
        printf("Failed to load G33DDCAPI.dll.\n");
    }
}

List of available G33DDC devices

The G33DDC API provides the GetDeviceList function which returns list of available G33DDC device which can be open by the OpenDevice function.

The following source code produces list of serial numbers of available G33DDC devices.

#include <stdio.h>

GetDDC1Count

Retrieves number of DDC types supported by DDC1.

C/C++ declaration

BOOL __stdcall GetDDC1Count(INT32 hDevice,UINT32 *Count);

Address retrieval

G33DDC_GET_DDC1_COUNT GetDDC1Count=(G33DDC_GET_DDC1_COUNT)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"GetDDC1Count");

DDC1 streaming must not run when calling SetDDC1. In other words, DDC1 streaming that is started using the StartDDC1 function has to be stopped using the StopDDC1 function before calling of SetDDC1, otherwise SetDDC1 fails. The SetDDC1 function does not start and stop DDC1 streaming, just changes DDC type of DDC1.

Calling of SetDDC1 can change current DDC type of DDC2 and current bandwidth of demodulator filter, so it is useful to call the GetDDC2 and GetDemodulatorFilterBandwidth functions immediately after SetDDC1 to determine current DDC type of DDC2 and current bandwidth of demodulator filter.

Use the GetDDC1 function to determine current DDC type of the DDC1.


GetDDC1

Address retrieval

G33DDC_START_DDC1 StartDDC1=(G33DDC_START_DDC1)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"StartDDC1");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G33DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
SamplesPerBuffer
[in] Specifies number of I/Q sample sets in each buffer passed to the DDC1StreamCallback callback function. The value has to be multiple of 64 greater than zero. If it is zero, the StartDDC1 function fails. If it is not multiple of 64 the function rounds it up to nearest multiple of 64.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The G33DDC device has to be turned on using the SetPower function before StartDDC1 is used. Otherwise StartDDC1 fails.

If the DDC1 streaming is already running before use of StartDDC1, StartDDC1 restarts the streaming except it was previously started with the same SamplesPerBuffer parameter. In this case StartDDC1 does nothing. Restart of DDC1 streaming stops of DDC2 and audio streaming in each channel. StartDDC1 does not restart DDC2 and audio streaming.

If DDC1 playback is running (started using StartDDC1Playback function) before use of StartDDC1, StartDDC1 stops it and starts DDC1 streaming from the device.

Use the StopDDC1 function to stop DDC1 streaming.

Decreasing value of the SamplesPerBuffer parameter decreases latency and it may increase CPU usage. Increasing value of the SamplesPerBuffer parameter increased latency and it may decrease CPU usage.


StopDDC1

Stops DDC1 streaming.

C/C++ declaration

BOOL __stdcall StopDDC1(INT32 hDevice);

Address retrieval

G33DDC_STOP_DDC1 StopDDC1=(G33DDC_STOP_DDC1)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"StopDDC1");

hDevice
[in] Handle to G33DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If DDC1 playback is running (started using StartDDC1Playback) before use of StopDDC1, the StopDDC1 function stops it.

The StopDDC1 function stops all the streaming beyond the DDC1 in processing chain (DDC2 and audio streaming in all the channels).

The DDC1StreamCallback and DDC1PlaybackStreamCallback callback functions are not called after StopDDC1 returns.


StartDDC1Playback

Starts DDC1 playback. It allows to pass previously recorded DDC1 I/Q samples to the processing chain instead of the samples received from the device.

C/C++ declaration

BOOL __stdcall StartDDC1Playback(INT32 hDevice,UINT32 SamplesPerBuffer,UINT32 BitsPerSample);

[in] Handle to G33DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
SamplesPerBuffer
[in] Specifies number of I/Q sample sets in each buffer passed to the DDC1PlaybackStreamCallback callback to fill the buffer by the application and to the DDC1StreamCallback callback function. The value has to be multiple of 64 greater than zero. If it is zero, the StartDDC1Playback function fails. If it is not multiple of 64 the function rounds it up to nearest multiple of 64.
BitsPerSample
[in] Specifies number of bits per I and Q samples. It is used for both DDC1PlaybackStreamCallback and DDC1StreamCallback callback functions. The possible value is one of the following:

ValueMeaning
0I and Q samples have default number of bits. It is given by by BitsPerSample member of the G3XDDC_DDC_INFO structure which can be retrieved using the GetDDC1 or GetDDCInfo function. Possible values are 16 or 32 bits per sample, signed, little endian.
16I and Q samples have 16 bit (16 bits per I, 16 bits per Q), signed, little endian.
32I and Q samples have 32 bit (32 bits per I, 32 bits per Q), signed, little endian.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The G33DDC device has to be turned on using SetPower function before use of StartDDC1Playback.

The StartDDC1Playback function stops DDC1 streaming that was previously started by the StartDDC1 or StartDDC1Playback function and starts DDC1 playback with new parameters. Stopping of DDC1 streaming stops DDC2 and audio steaming in each channel. StartDDC1Playback does not restart DDC2 and audio streaming.

Use the StopDDC1 function to stop DDC1 playback.


PauseDDC1Playback

Pauses DDC1 playback.

C/C++ declaration

BOOL __stdcall PauseDDC1Playback(INT32 hDevice);

[in] Handle to G33DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If DDC1 playback is not active or it is already paused, PauseDDC1Playback does nothing.

The DDC1PlaybackStreamCallback and DDC1StreamCallback callback functions can be called once after PauseDDC1Playback returns. Then they are not called until playback is resumed using the ResumeDDC1Playback function.


ResumeDDC1Playback

Resumes paused DDC1 playback.

C/C++ declaration

BOOL __stdcall ResumeDDC1Playback(INT32 hDevice);

Address retrieval

G33DDC_RESUME_DDC1_PLAYBACK ResumeDDC1Playback=(G33DDC_RESUME_DDC1_PLAYBACK)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"ResumeDDC1Playback");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G33DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If DDC1 playback is not active or it is not paused, ResumeDDC1Playback does nothing.


GetDDC2

Retrieves information about current DDC type of the DDC2.

C/C++ declaration

BOOL __stdcall GetDDC2(INT32 hDevice,UINT32 *DDCTypeIndex,G3XDDC_DDC_INFO *DDCInfo);

Address retrieval

G33DDC_GET_DDC2 GetDDC2=(G33DDC_GET_DDC2)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"GetDDC2");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G33DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
DDCTypeIndex
[out] Pointer to a variable that receives index of current DDC type of the DDC2. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.
DDCInfo
[out] Pointer to a G3XDDC_DDC_INFO structure to be filled with information about current DDC type of the DDC2. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Each channel has its own DDC2, see the block diagram. DDC type of each DDC2 is the same and it depends on DDC type of DDC1, it cannot be changed by the application directly. DDC type of DDC2 is equal to DDC type of DDC1 if DDC type index of DDC1 is less than or equal to 5 (sample rate: 80 kHz, bandwidth: 64 kHz, bits per sample: 32). If DDC type index of DDC1 is above 5, DDC type index of DDC2 is always 5. Changing of DDC type of DDC1 can cause change of DDC type of DDC2, so it is useful to call GetDDC2 immediately after the SetDDC1 function to determine current DDC type of DDC2 if the application needs to know parameters of DDC2.

The BitsPerSample member of the G3XDDC_DDC_INFO structure is not used and it can be ignored for DDC2. I and Q samples in buffers passed to the DDC2StreamCallback and DDC2PreprocessedStreamCallback DDC2 callback functions are always in IEEE float (32 bit, little endian) format.

Returned DDCTypeIndex can be passed to the GetDDCInfo function.


SetDDC2Frequency

Sets relative center frequency of DDC2 for given channel.

C/C++ declaration

BOOL __stdcall SetDDC2Frequency(INT32 hDevice,UINT32 Channel,INT32 Frequency);

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G33DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
Channel
[in] Specifies channel index. Possible values are: 0, 1, 2.
Frequency
[in] Specifies new center frequency of DDC2 in Hz.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Value of the Frequency parameter is center frequency of the DDC2 relative to center of the DDC1. The value can be negative.

Absolute frequency of the DDC2 is given by the following formula:

faDDC2[i] = fDDC1 + frDDC2[i]

Where faDDC2[i] is absolute center frequency of DDC2 of i-th channel in Hz, fDDC1 is center frequency of the DDC1 in Hz (set using the SetDDC1Frequency function) and frDDC2[i] is relative center frequency of DDC2 of i-th channel in Hz (set using SetDDC2Frequency).

Changing of DDC2 relative frequency changes absolute frequency of the DDC2 and demodulator in the specified channel.

Use the GetDDC2Frequency function to determine current relative center frequency of the DDC2 for given channel.

The following example shows three methods how it is possible to set absolute DDC2 center frequency of channel 0 to 11.01 MHz:

INT32 hDevice; //Handle to G33DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function

//1. method
SetDDC1Frequency(hDevice,11010000);
SetDDC2Frequency(hDevice,0,0);

//2. method, it can be used if bandwidth of DDC2 is less than bandwidth of DDC1
SetDDC1Frequency(hDevice,11000000);
SetDDC2Frequency(hDevice,0,10000);

//3. method, it can be used if bandwidth of DDC2 is less than bandwidth of DDC1
SetDDC1Frequency(hDevice,11020000);
SetDDC2Frequency(hDevice,0,-10000);

Channel
[in] Specifies channel index. Possible values are: 0, 1, 2.
SamplesPerBuffer
[in] Specifies number of I/Q sample sets in each buffer passed to the DDC2StreamCallback and DDC2PreprocessedStreamCallback callback functions. The value has to be multiple of 64 greater than zero. If it is zero, the StartDDC2 function fails. If it is not multiple of 64 the function rounds it up to nearest multiple of 64.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Before StartDDC2 is used, the G33DDC device has to be turned on using the SetPower function and DDC1 streaming has to be started using the StartDDC1 or StartDDC1Playback function, otherwise StartDDC2 fails.

If the DDC2 streaming for given channel is already running, StartDDC2 restarts it except the streaming was previously started with the same SamplesPerBuffer parameter. In this case StartDDC2 does nothing. Restart of the DDC2 streaming stops audio streaming for give channel. StartDDC2 does not restart audio streaming.

Use the StopDDC2 function to stop DDC2 streaming.

Decreasing value of the SamplesPerBuffer parameter decreases latency and it may increase CPU usage. Increasing value of the SamplesPerBuffer parameter increased latency and it may decrease CPU usage.

[in] Handle to G33DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
Channel
[in] Specifies channel index. Possible values are: 0, 1, 2.
Peak
[out] Pointer to a variable that receives current signal level (peak) in Volts. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.
RMS
[out] Pointer to a variable that receives current signal level (RMS) in Volts. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

DDC2 streaming has to be active (started using the StartDDC2 function) before calling of GetSignalLevel, otherwise returned peak and RMS signal levels are zero.

Signal level is evaluated from signal after the demodulator filter and before the notch filter (see block diagram), the signal is selected by the demodulator filter.

Signal level is evaluated for each buffer that processed by the demoduletor filter. Buffer size (signal level evaluation rate) is given by the SamplesPerBuffer parameter of the StartDDC2 function.

The DDC2PreprocessedStreamCallback callback function provides signal level for each buffer passed the callback, i.e. for each buffer used in signal level evaluation. This provides way to get signal level from each processed buffer without need of pulling it using GetSignalLevel.

To convert RMS signal level in Volts to power in dBm use the following formulas:

P[W] = (VRMS)2 / R = (VRMS)2 / 50

P[dBm]= 10 * log10( P[W] * 1000 )

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

INT32 hDevice; //handle to G33DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function
float P_dBm,V_RMS;

GetSignalLevel(hDevice,0,NULL,&V_RMS);

Absolute frequency of the demodulator is given by the following formula:

faDEM[i] = fDDC1 + frDDC2[i] + frDEM[i]

Where faDEM[i] is absolute center frequency of the demodulator of i-th channel in Hz, fDDC1 is center frequency of the DDC1 in Hz (set using the SetDDC1Frequency function), frDDC2[i] is relative center frequency of DDC2 of i-th channel in Hz (set using the SetDDC2Frequency) and frDEM[i] is relative center frequency of the demodulator of i-th channel in Hz (set using SetDemodulatorFrequency).

Absolute center frequency of the demodulator is the real-world frequency that you are listening to.

//pointed to by the Output parameter. Size of the FFT is given be the Size parameter.
//The example uses 2048 bins FFT.
void FFT(float *Output,const float *Input,int Size);

UINT32 AbsDDC2Frequency; //Absolute frequency of the DDC2
INT32 RelDDC2Frequency; //Relative frequency of the DDC2
UINT32 DDC1Frequency; //DDC1 frequency
G3XDDC_DDC_INFO DDC2Info; //Information about current DDC type of the DDC2

UINT32 FirstBin,LastBin; //the first and last bins in the FFT of useful DDC2 band
G33DDC_CALLBACKS Callbacks; //Structure which contains pointer to callback functions

Code before...

//Retrieve frequency of the DDC1
GetDDC1Frequency(hDevice,&DDC1Frequency);

//Retrieve relative frequency of the DDC2 for channel 0

GetSpectrumCompensation(hDevice,AbsDDC2Frequency,DDC2Info.SampleRate,Compensation,2048);
//In this case the Width parameter is equal to sample rate, because we need compensation data
//for whole DDC2 band.
//Compensation data have to be updated after change of absolute DDC2 frequency using
//the SetDDC1Frequency or SetDDC2Frequency function.
//In this case a mutual-exclusion synchronization method (for example critical section) should be used 
//if the Compensation buffer would be modified outside the MyDDC2StreamCallback callback.

FirstBin=2048*(DDC2Info.SampleRate-DDC2Info.Bandwidth)/2/DDC2Info.SampleRate;
LastBin=2048*(DDC2Info.SampleRate+DDC2Info.Bandwidth)/2/DDC2Info.SampleRate;

//Set callback function for DDC2 streaming
//Pointers to callback function which should not be called by the API have to be set to NULL.
Callbacks.DDC2StreamCallback=MyDDC2StreamCallback;

//Start DDC2 streaming for channel 0
//The SamplesPerBuffer parameter is set to 2048 which is size of the FFT to simplify
//the example.
