UHD provides all FlatBuffers schema files in `<install-path>/share/uhd/cal`. First, install FlatBuffers. The package can be obtained from https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/. Once installed, `.cal` files can be converted to JSON using - flatc --strict-json -t <install dir>/share/uhd/cal/<flatbuffer>.fbs -- <data>.cal + flatc --strict-json -t <install dir>/share/uhd/cal/<foo>_cal.fbs -- <data>.cal -where `<flatbuffer>.fbs` is the scheme file used for the data, +where `<foo>_cal.fbs` is the scheme file used for the data, e.g. `pwr_cal.fbs` for power calibration. `data.cal` is a calibration file in your working directory. This will generate a `<data>.json` in the same directory. The JSON data can be converted back to binary using - flatc -b <install dir>/include/uhd/cal/<flatbuffer>.fbs <data>.json + flatc -b <install dir>/include/uhd/cal/<foo>_cal.fbs <data>.json This generates a `<data>.bin` that can be read by the calibration routines of UHD. To make UHD reading these files you need to rename it to `<data>.cal`. |
