CONFIGURATION

The first two columns of the Interlock Configuration

page on the website interface are shown in Figure 4.

This page is used to configure parameters for all transmission lines monitored by the Plus-X VSWR. When
system inputs exceed user defined limits, the Plus-X VWSR sets a fault condition and interrupts the
appropriate transmitter interlocks.
