90PF Slot Card 

 

Section 1 

Dual Channel Programmable 

Front Panel Operation 

Filter/Amplifier Card 

 

1.1 - Start Up 

All 90PF slot cards should be inserted into the 90IP chassis and controller while the power switch (rear panel) is in the 

OFF

 position (O).  Once slot cards have been inserted, the power switch can be moved to the 

ON

 position (I).  Upon 

power-up, a micro-controller on each 90PF slot card sends its configuration to the 90IP controller which displays the 
90PF configuration.  This is Frequency Devices’ 

smartSLOT Technology

.  See 90IP Operations Manual for chassis 

and controller operating instructions. 
 
See 

Figure 1

1.2 - 90 PF Operation Instructions 

1.  Upon power up, a cursor appears under the default function value or mode. (Note the cursor is initially displayed 

on the LSB of any numerical value.) 

2. Turning 

the 

FUNCTION

 knob scrolls the cursor through the various function selections. 

3.  To make a change, press the 

ENTER

 button and the addressed character will blink. 

4. Turning 

the 

SELECT

 knob will alter the value of the desired character or mode. 

5. Pressing 

the 

ENTER

 button again, loads the selected value or configuration into the slot card and controller 

memory and the blinking stops. 

6.  If a question mark (?) appears in the display, an invalid entry has been made and that value or mode must be 

corrected.  

Example:

 Frequency values outside permitted tuning ranges. 

7.  After a valid change is accepted by pressing the 

ENTER

 key, another function value or mode may be selected by 

using the 

FUNCTION

 and 

SELECT

 knobs. 

8.  Once the channel is programmed or configured, it may also be saved in one of the nine configuration locations.  

Since it is the most recent configuration setting, it automatically becomes the new power-up default for that 
channel. 

9. 

User must press ENTER button to select and activate all configurations. This is done on a per channel 
basis.
