Workstation, the T/Mon will monitor the
status of KDA and its alarms. When and if
a unit fails, the Report Satellite Failure
option will report which unit has the fail-
ure. Satellite failures are reported on

25, satellite 2 on point 26, and satellite 3
on point 27.
RTS Lead Time Time, in milliseconds, after serial port
RTS handshaking is asserted that data bits
start to be transmitted. Ordinarily does not
have to be changed, but may be adjusted if
communications timing problems are
encountered or delay is needed for relay
keying.
RTS Tail Time Time, in milliseconds, after serial port data
transmission stops that RTS handshaking
is cleared. Ordinarily does not have to be
changed, but may be adjusted if communi-
cations timing problems are encountered
or delay is needed for relay keying.
Relay 8 Response to RTS When checked, on-board relay 8 closes
when RTS is asserted. This may be used to
key an external radio transmitter, etc.
