Reverse API

Introduction

This feature has been added to be able to forward channel and device settings changes to an external application using the same REST API interface as the one used to communicate settings changes to SDRangel. These AP endpoints are used:

• /sdrangel/deviceset/{deviceSetIndex}/device/settings with PATCH method to transmit device settings. The deviceSetIndex variable is the targeted device set index (unsigned integer)
• /sdrangel/deviceset/{deviceSetIndex}/channel/{channelIndex}/settings with PATCH method to transmit channel settings. The deviceSetIndex variable is the targeted device set index (unsigned integer) and the channelIndex variable is the channel sequence number (unsigned integer).
• /sdrangel/deviceset/{deviceSetIndex}/device/run with POST method to transmit start device action. The deviceSetIndex variable is the targeted device set index (unsigned integer)
• /sdrangel/deviceset/{deviceSetIndex}/device/run with DELETE method to transmit stop device action. The deviceSetIndex variable is the targeted device set index (unsigned integer)

GUI features

The forwarding of settings and/or start/stop action can be activated via GUI along with the connection parameters: address, port, device and if applicable channel indexes.
