desired for the POCSAG Msg. Highlighting the NumericCust or AlphaNumCust selections allows editing

Message Length
Use the arrow keys, spin knob, or numeric pad to set the message length from 0 to 60 characters.
Data Rate
Use the arrow keys, spin knob, or numeric pad to set the communication data rate from 400 to 4800 bps.
Polarity
Activates a horizontal submenu for choosing the polarity of the POCSAG data stream, either Normal or
Inverted. When set to Normal, a logic high (1) results in a more positive frequency deviation in FM mode.
A logic low (0) results in a more negative frequency deviation in FM mode. When set to Inverted, a logic
high (1) results in more negative frequency deviation in FM mode. A logic low (0) results in a more
positive frequency deviation in FM mode.
Error Bit
Use the arrow keys, spin knob, or numeric pad to set the error bit at the specified location in the POCSAG
page bit stream. The error bit allows targeted insertion of an error into the page to test a POCSAG decoder's
error correction capability. The setting toggles the Error Bit bit in the POCSAG page bit stream, where
the bit stream uses a 1-based index. If Error Bit is set to 0(default), no bits are toggled. If Error Bit is set
>= 1, then bit stream[Error Bit] is toggled.
2.2.3.3.2 Settings in the General Sequence Table submenu
Code Sequence (displayed when synthesizer Format selected is General Sequence)
Activates a data entry window and horizontal menu for entering an audio tone sequence for encoding on
either the RF carrier or Mod Out port. Each entry can be one of 20 Tone Codes (0 to 9 and A to J) with
the frequency, duration, and post tone delay specified in the General Sequence Table. Tone entries are
made using the ▲▼ (Up/Down), and ◄► (Left/Right) keys, numeric keypad, and spin knob. “Clear to
End” clears the highlighted entry and all others to the right.
