W2 Power and Macro

I put my W2 together today and I have a couple of questions.

Is the resolution 10 watts in the 200 watt scale or am I missing something.

In regards to the W2 macros I have to confess not being up on this. I
did some reading but hopefully some one can save me some time as I could
not find any
Macro 101 posts.

I see a reference in the serial interface commands to changing the W2 so
it reads reflected power rather than SWR. First how do I do it?
Secondly once it is changed how do the bars represent power, what is the
scale?

Re: W2 Power and Macro

Ed,

Page toward the bottom of the on line reference. After studying it for
awhile I tried "I;" (without the quotes) and got a response. Then you can
decipher what it all means. Should be easy enough for someone to program
what the code means rather having to decipher it.

73,

Re: W2 Power and Macro

Hi, Bill & Ed!

First, help yourselves to a free copy of the Serial Interface Commands
here...

http://www.elecraft.com/software/W2/Elecraft_W2_Serial_Interface_Commands_Rev_B.pdf

This doc will explain the output of the "I" command, as well as list all
the other Serial Commands available.

Now, literally within about an hour from now we will have available on
the Elecraft website (in the Software/W2 area) our new "Elecraft W2
Interface". This is the computer interface match to the W2. A lot of
commands are available as buttons, including the calibrate function. It
also displays Forward and Reflected power at the same time on different
bargraphs. I'll post another message when it is ready for download.
This will be for both Windows and Macs. All courtesy of David Fleming,
W4SMT.

Re: W2 Power and Macro

Thanks, Brian. Those are the commands I was attempting to refer to. Will
await the new stuff.
