Controlling Booster via MQTT

wbroe

We have just set up a Booster (NGFW) and established communication via an MQTT broker (Mosquitto). This allows us to read out telemetry using MQTT Explorer from the device, however it is unclear what the commands are to change the device settings (channel on/off state, interlock threshold etc.). Is there any documentation outlining the commands for the Booster (NGFW)?

after a update to the NGFW we observed that

The Booser-HL worked as before
The Booster-non-HL did not amplify any signals

we then used the QUARTIQ provided python script to tune the bias current, unfortunately multiple channels still showed no or very little amplification.

maybe someone can give an isight on how we can calibrate, so we have close to the behavior as it was before.

Don't hijack threads.
HL doesn't do bias tuning.
Seek support from your vendor. Maybe it's a hardware issue or damage.
If you suspect a firmware issue, please do provide some information. E.g. what you did exactly, what you expected, and what you observed. Quantitative and detailed.
