I/Q SIGNAL ■■Communication through the [I/Q OUT] port DDGeneral description I/Q signals and IC-R8600 control commands are exchanged through the [I/Q OUT] port on the IC-R8600. USB cable [I/Q OUT] port IC-R8600 WinUSB Driver Appication (User supplied) PC The communications are done through WinUSB. To use WinUSB, you need to install the driver (USB I/Q Package for HDSDR) that can be downloaded from Icom web site. After the driver is installed, you can receive I/Q signals and control the IC-R8600 through the WinUSB, using an I/Q receive software (user supplied). To use WinUSB, you need to set the driver's GUID and appropriate "endpoint." Refer to the next topic for details about them. DDAbout the GUID The GUID, that is needed to open the [I/Q OUT] port, is shown below. 68D5F5EE - B0E7 - 49FD - A0D5 - 5B10842656B7 DDAbout the endpoint The IC-R8600 has 3 endpoints. Each endpoint is reserved to receive I/Q data, to send control commands to the IC-R8600 and to receive the acknowledgement from the IC-R8600.
