Here you can set the UB center frequency that corresponds to the selected SCR address. This is
the frequency that a connected receiver needs to tune to. Use the ← and → keys, or the numeric
keypad to set the UB center frequencies within the range from 950 MHz to 2.150 MHz.
Press
ENTER
to save the entry; the menu with the SCR address list reappears. Press
ENTER
again to complete configuration of the UNICABLE control in the measuring receiver.
All entries are stored in non-volatile memory; the instrument will operate using these settings when
it is next switched on.
Alternatively, the slot frequencies can be read automatically from a connected CSS (Channel
Stacking Switch), which is a multi-switch with UNICABLE output capability (see chapter 6.4.4.3 -
Reading UB slot frequencies from CSS).
Entering a name for the bank: LNB -> DiSEqC -> UNIC -> SCR-ADR-Bank
You can select one bank in the menu SCR-ADR-Bank. Using the arrow key → you edit the bank
name to assign a specific name of the bank. For example, you could enter the name of the
manufacturer of the UNICABLE components. Using the ← or → arrow keys for moving the cursor
to the desired position in the label. With the numeric keypad, you can enter or edit a name up to 20
digits in length. Pressing the ENTER key closes the input menu is and stores the name in non-
volatile memory.
Entering of a startup time for the bank: LNB -> DiSEqC -> UNIC -> SCR-ADR-Bank
You can enter a time in ms, which a connected multiswitch needs until it is ready after power up to
process DiSEqC commands. The default setup is 700ms. That time have to be increased, if an
UNICABLE device wills not response after calling up the first time from the tuning memory.

SCR-ADR bank:
In the market exists UNICABLE units for 4 and 8 receivers per cable. These units generally operate
with differing UB center frequencies. To simplify the procedure for the user, the instrument offers a
feature that enables switching between 8 SCR address banks. That means that the instrument has
8 banks of SCR addresses for UNICABLE units that operate with up to 8 receivers. The UB center
frequencies can be changed within the 8 banks as described above. The active selected bank is
non-volatile. That means that the next time the device is switched on, it will operate again with
these SCR-ADR <-> UB center frequency relationships. In addition, the bank setting is stored in the
