Help analyze error

Hi all.
I have MiniTiouner (FT2232 + NIM) but with Minitioune v04c do not decode Mpeg2 DVBS signal. I checked install drivers and SW on three different PCs with the same result.
On one of pc is instaled TechnoTrend S2-3200 card and Tutioune 3200 v0.2b and decoding is OK. I presume that there is installed correct video filters and codecs. But Minitiouner do not decode video.
For testing I use Raspberry Pi with RpiDatv SW and IQmodulator from PA0RJV.

Correctly decoded signal on TTS2-3200

The same test signal and the same PC, but different SW and Minitiouner.

TestMyMiniTiouner_v1_3a says the following:

Anyone have any idea what is wrong??
How can I verify that the data from NIM pass through the FIFO to USB port and to SW decoder??

Many thanks for your cooperation.

Hello,

Sure Your NIM is receiving the TS ( we can see the number of byte received) and you have it on the pin out of the NIM, but your PC doesn't seem to receive it.
So I suppose that there is a hardware problem between the NIM and the FT2232H
Using an oscilloscope, check if you have the signal that says that data are available at the output of the 74HC10.

You can also try to change the use of the TS error bit in Minitioune software ( CTRL + A to get the extra panel and change the TS error bit from ON to OFF)

Hello Jean-Pierre

I tested the strobe signal for FIFO (output the 74HC10) and it is OK. Burst of many 1us impulses are repeated every 1ms.
I checked the PCB and finded the microscopic short circuit between two data pin on NIM conector. After resoldering and cleaning PCB the Minitiouner working OK .
Bingo!!!
Many thanks for your cooperation.

Now are necessary precisely adjusted rotator with antene and waiting for Proxima ATV transmision :-) :-)

Many greetings from Czech republic.
