View the connected radio's health registers

Open the Radio Health dialog to view live, read-only health and status registers reported by the connected radio. This is useful for diagnosing issues like ADC overloads or checking that a FIFO is moving.

Before you start

  • A radio must be connected to AetherSDR.

Steps

  1. Select Help > Radio Health....
  2. Read the current values in the health register table. The table refreshes automatically every 500 ms.
  3. (Optional) Click Copy to copy the current snapshot to the clipboard for pasting into a support request or log.

What each control does

Control Behavior
Health register table Shows the radio's health/status registers as reported by the backend. Values are grouped by section headings. A register the radio has not reported shows a dash (—), not zero. Booleans display as Yes or No.
Copy Copies the health snapshot, including section headings, to the clipboard. The status label changes to "Copied to clipboard" briefly.
Close Closes the dialog.

Tips

  • A dash means the radio has not reported that value — it is not the same as a value of zero.
  • The table rows are rebuilt only when the set of registers changes, so your scroll position and row selection stay put while you read.
  • Nothing in this dialog writes to the radio; it is diagnostic read-out only.
  • If the radio reports no health registers, the status label shows "This radio reports no health registers." instead of an empty table.

Troubleshooting

  • Status shows "Not connected." — No radio is connected, or the connection was lost. Connect to a radio first (Connect to a local LAN radio or one of the other connection topics) and reopen the dialog.
