To bring the data from the Telepost LP100A to Thetis (or as alternative for the original VCP) , I have written a small tool called “LP100A-UDP-Bridge”.
The tool connects via serial port to your LP100A controller and sends the received data (fwd, reflected pwr, swr,z, phase) via UDP (XML) to a specific port. You can disable UDP output via settings – to use it standalone.
In Thetis you can setup a Multi Meter I/O connection (UDP, direction “in”, format XML). The data can be used in the MultiMeter system.
A big THANKS to Richie, MW0LGE, who has implemented all this amazing features into Thetis!
