Installation and configuration
Creation
Serial Main Connection
This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:
MAIN CONNECTION:
Interface connection:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
- IP port: The IP port of the device. This is required
- Bus address: The bus address of the device. Range: 48 - 112.
Usage
Main View
This page displays some of the most important parameters for the device, such as High Reflected RF Fault, RF Output Power (dBm), Helix Voltage and System State.
General Control
This page displays some of the most important parameters that control device options, such as High Tube Temperature Alarm Trip Point, Heater Time Delay, RF Inhibit and System State.
It also contains a button that can be used to disable the ALC.
Control RF Output
On this page, you can view and configure the RF Output Power in dBm, the ALC RF Output Power in dBm, and the same parameters in W or dBW.
Meter Query
This page displays meter values such as the RF Output Power (dBm), Reflected RF, Helix Voltage and Cabinet Temperature.
Linearizer Query
This page displays linearizer values and offset values such as Gain, Phase Offset and Magnitude.
Configuration
This page displays configuration parameters such as Linearizer Installed, Switch System Configuration and Relay 1 Configuration.
Status Info
This displays alarm information such as External Interlock Fault, DC Bus Fault, Helix Over Voltage Fault, BUC Fault.
This page also contains page buttons to the following subpages:
- Secondary Status: Displays alarm states and settings such as Low RF Alarm, Tube Over Temperature Alarm, CIF Control and Power Sensor Failure.
- Summary Status: This additional parameters such as ALC, W/G Switch Controller Mode, Latched Fault and Transmit Request.
- Normalize Alarms: Allows the normalization of the RF output power in dBm, W and dBW, via the parameters Nominal RF Output Power (dBm), Nominal RF Output Power (W) and Nominal RF Output Power (dBW).
Log
This page allows you to retrieve a log entry and to set the Auto Log Time. For each entry, it displays parameters such as Entry Date, Entry Time, Activity Type, Log Attenuation, Log Fan Control Voltage, etc.
