The Rev Pwr check box allows the user to view the reverse power instead of forward power while the local
unit is transmitting.
Progress
The Progress panel shows the progress of the Get Diags request.
Tx Mode
The Tx Mode combo box allows the user to select different transmit modes when the unit is told to transmit:
Tone: the unit will transmit a 1200 Hz tone.
Mod Balance: the unit will transmit a 100 Hz square wave.
Random Data: the unit will transmit random data.
No Modulation: the unit will transmit with no modulation.
F5
Pressing the F5 key will cause the unit to transmit on the programmed transmit frequency.
F6
Pressing the F6 key will cause the unit to go to receive on the programmed receive frequency.
Note: Telling a remote unit to transmit will cause the unit to transmit on the programmed transmit frequency
until the Tx Timeout Timer expires. Be sure to program the Tx Timeout Timer in the Setup Modem/Radio
Parameters Screen (see Figure 2-9).
2.4.11 Online Diagnostics
Online Diagnostics are transmitted by each unit in a network before the user’s data is transmitted. All units
must be programmed with the Online Diagnostics parameter found on the Setup Modem/Radio Parameters
screen. The unit that the computer is interfaced with will output Online Diagnostics as they are received.
Using Online Diagnostics does not require suspension of network operation.
Online Diagnostics are subject to alarm conditions defined in the Diagnostic IDs and Alarms screen (see
Figure 2-20). When Online Diagnostics are received and a diagnostic field falls outside the alarm limits, a
“<“ character will designate a value less than the low alarm and a “>” character will designate a value
greater than the high alarm.
