Installer desktop utility

HDSM Installer List Generator

A practical Windows tool for building, reviewing and sending HEX32 / HEX64 installer lists for Horizon HDSM USB V3.

Overview

A tool built for a real installer workflow.

HDSM Installer List Generator is a dedicated desktop utility created to make satellite list preparation faster, cleaner and more controlled for Horizon HDSM USB V3.

It helps organise satellites, review usable points, build HEX files and transfer lists to the meter, reducing repetitive manual work before going on site.

Feature areas

What the tool helps with

The application combines the practical steps needed to move from raw satellite data to a clean installer list.

Satellite selection

Select satellites, filter visible groups and control exactly what will be included in the final installer list.

Preview before writing

Review point type, meter name, frequency, polarisation, symbol rate and FEC before building or sending the file.

Web / Paste Analyser

Analyse fetched or pasted satellite data and turn it into recommended HDSM install points.

HEX32 / HEX64 build

Build HEX32 or HEX64 output files for the selected workflow and prepare them for installer use.

Direct HDSM transfer

Send generated lists directly to Horizon HDSM USB V3 using a controlled, safe paced workflow.

Licensed beta utility

Local licence handling protects build and send functions while the tool is refined for practical installer use.

Manual guidance

Built-in user manual and About window explain the safe workflow, licence notes and recommended use.

Installer-focused database

Keep confirmed, manual and analysed entries organised for real installation work rather than scattered notes.

Why it exists

Created to reduce repeated manual work.

The project comes from a simple observation: when a technical task is repeated often enough, it should be structured better.

Instead of relying on scattered notes, manual editing and repetitive list rebuilding, this tool brings selection, analysis, preview, build and transfer into one focused installer workflow.

Interface screens

Current beta interface

The screens show the main generator, web analysis, About information and built-in user manual.

HDSM main generator window — Main generator: satellite selection, point preview and build/send workflow

HDSM Web Paste Analyser window — Web / Paste Analyser: source data converted into recommended install points

HDSM About window — About: beta status, licence notes and recommended use

HDSM user manual window — User manual: setup steps, licence workflow and safe transfer guidance

Project status

A focused technical utility, not a general app.

The current version is a licensed beta designed around a specific technical workflow for the Horizon HDSM USB V3. It is intentionally focused: build the right list, review the points and transfer safely.

This project shows the technical side of my work: creating small but useful tools that solve a real operational problem.
