FDMDV_GET_TEST_BITS(1)

💖 FDMDV_GET_TEST_BITS 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the fdmdv_get_test_bits page from the User commands section of the manual. she's a lil diagnostic girlie from the codec2 library and her whole job is making data for fdmdv_mod. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

fdmdv_get_test_bits — a diagnostic tool for the codec2 library that generates data for fdmdv_mod. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fdmdv_get_test_bits usage: OutputBitFile numBits [Nc]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

she generates a file of packed test bits, which is literally so useful as input to fdmdv_mod. that's the whole vibe. 💜

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

fdmdv_get_test_bits test.c2 1400

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• first argument — OutputBitFile — this is the file name of a file that's gonna be created with test sample data in it. and listen, if you pass - instead, the output gets sent to stdout instead of a file. iconic behaviour fr fr. 🫶
• second argument — numBits — an integer number of bits per second to use. just a whole number, that's it, that's the vibe. ✨
• optional third argument — [Nc] — the number of carriers to use in the modem. the default is 14. the minimum is 2 and the maximum is 20. so don't go feral and try 1 or 21, she said what she said. 💀

ngl the [Nc] brackets are doing a lot of heavy lifting here — that third argument is optional, the first two are not. 🙈
