[Amps] ALPHA 9500 REMOTE - FLICKERING SCREEN

[noll amidzich]

Bob,

 

Installed Alpha Remote V1.4. HUGE improvement over V1.14 - cosmetically and functionality. Screen flickering is gone, remote display now mirrors real life 9500 front screen as do the readings.

 

Thanks also to Glenn AE0Q and Jeff N8CC for your input.

Sorry, that link talks about TeamViewer 13, and things have changed in TeamViewer 14.  From the menu bar select Extras -> Options, then click Remote Control.  Try various things in the Quality drop-down box, such as Optimize for Speed or Optimize for Quality.  Under the Custom settings, enabling or disabling GUI animation may help.

Do you see the same thing when you view the program on a local computer monitor, or only when viewing it remotely through TeamViewer?

 

If you've only viewed the Alpha 9500 remote software through TeamViewer, try these suggestions:

I recently installed the remote software for my Alpha 9500 purchased new in
2013.



The CD supplied is version 1.14.



Upon installation, noticed several of the Front Panel screen display
HEADINGS (NOT the actual values)  "Flicker" ...example, band, tune, load,
meter AC, options, control  



Also the SWR display will only show increments of 1 . ie. 1 or 2. Nothing in
between. Power output will show wattage including 1 decimal to the right of
0. (Example 1150.6 watts)



I've been told version 2.01 looks exactly like the 9500 front panel. What I
have, does not.



Went to Alpha website in hopes of downloading the latest version. Unable to
do so as the link for downloads was taken down.



I'm currently remoting using TeamViewer 13.



Software works to the extent of being able to remotely turn amp on/off,
switch bands, display output , plate voltage, current etc. 



Questions I have..



Why the screen flickering?



Would going to a later Alpha remote software version cure the "flicker"?



How would I even get the latest version, whatever it may be? And from where?



Thanks
