Chapter 06 – Measuring range 31

Here you can set the UB centre frequency that corresponds to the selected SCR address. This is the frequency that a
connected receiver needs to tune to. Use the
Up and Down keys
, the
←
and
→
keys, or the numeric keypad to set the
UB centre 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 configu-
ration of the UNICABLE control in the measuring receiver. All entries are stored in non-volatile memory; the device will
operate using these settings when it is next switched on.
SCR addrwaa bank
Some UNICABLE units operate with eight receivers per cable and others with four receivers. Such units generally
operate with differing UB centre frequencies.
To simplify the procedure for the user, the device offers a feature that enables switching between four SCR-ADR banks.
That means that the device has 7 banks of SCR addresses for UNICABLE units that operate with 8 receivers and a
different bank of SCR addresses for UNICABLE units that operate with 4 receivers. The UB centre frequencies can also be
changed within the banks as described above. That means that the next time the device is switched on, it will operate
again with these SCR-ADR < > UB centre frequency settings. In addition, the bank setting is stored in the tuning
memory. This makes it possible for you to combine memory locations from Bank 0 to Bank 7 as desired.
Entering a name for the bank
You can select a bank in the SCR-ADR-Bank menu. Press the
→
key to open a menu where you can assign a name to the
bank. For example the name of the manufacturer of the UNICABLE components. Using the
←
or
→
arrow keys, you can
move the cursor to the desired position in the label. You can edit the label with alphanumeric characters using the
arrows or the number keys. The name can be up to 20 spaces in length.
Confirming and saving the entry
Pressing the
ENTER
key closes the input menu and stores the values in the non-volatile memory.
Wideband RF mode
Some UNICABLE units (LNB) work exclusively on a single oscillator frequency. This means that the low band and the
high band are combined in a single band.
This special mode can be set on the device via
LNB
> MODE > WIDEBAND RF. The UNICABLE control can be switched
back into standard mode (2 oscillator frequencies) via
LNB
> MODE > STANDARD RF.
This is also the device’s default setting. The setting is non-volatile; the measuring receiver will work in this mode when
UNICABLE control is next accessed. This setting is also stored in the tuning memory.
LO Frequency (applies to wideband RF mode only)
As already mentioned, some UNICABLE units (LNB) work exclusively on a single oscillator frequency. This frequency
must be set before in the device can be used to control such units.
You can choose between oscillator frequencies 10,000, 10.200, 13,250 and 13,450 GHz via
LNB
> LO-Frequency. The
setting is also non-volatile. This position is also incorporated in the tuning memory. The default setting is 10,200 GHz.
6.5.3.2 Operation
The UNICABLE control can be used to convert up to eight SAT IF levels in up to eight UB slots. These are further divided
into two satellite positions, each with four SAT IF levels. Each connected receiver (maximal 8) operates using a dedi-
cated UB slot. This is defined via the SCR address.
These UNICABLE control parameters are set via
LNB
> SAT-IF-Layer > Satellite and > SCR-ADR.
