6 – SCREENS
SMΩRF provides measurement results in form of SCREEN s. Every SCREEN is a group of measurements and
settings for Main display [8], Bar Graphs [1],[2], Alarms [6] and Tone Generator. Up to 16 screens can be
associated to each of SENSOR1 and SENSOR2, separately. The dedicated top
← [9] / → [10] buttons switch
between SCREENs of one sensor. Each SCREEN in the sequence can be turned on or off in the SYSTEM
MENU | SCREENS MANAGEMENT MENU.
Internally, SCREENs are built on layout templates. The template defines, how the measurement results are
presented on main display [8], if they are displayed numerically (classic digital wattmeter appearance) or also
graphically (oscilloscope, spectrum or PSK screens). There are several built in templates covering most of
situations user can face during regular operation, contesting as well as experimenting on antennas, amplifiers or
matching networks.
Bottom line:
Main Display template (including all related settings) + Bar Graphs (including all their settings) + Alarms
(individually enabled/disabled) + Tone Generator (including all its settings) forms one SCREEN .
STATUS BAR
On top of each screen, status indicators and bar graphs
function choice (or current antenna cable choice) is shown.
1.
Frequency validity
•
Using the calibration data, each measured sample undergoes an adjustment procedure, which needs
to know the frequency of incoming signal, therefore is important to see it on all the time. If measured
signal is very low in power, it may happen that the signal is too weak to measure its frequency, while
its amplitude is still well measurable to show the power. In this case the
F indicator is off and meter
uses last measured frequency.
•
If SMΩRF is connected and coupled to micro HAM device over iLINK port (MKII, MK2R+, SM, SMD),
it receives exact operating frequency from this device even if transceiver is not transmitting. Coupling
is set on a coupled device and on the SMΩRF is coupling indicated by
i indicator. When indicator lit
in half brightness, SMΩRF confirms frequency reception. When is fully illuminated, SMΩRF confirms
transmit status update from a coupled device.
2.
LAN port status
•
Indicates Ethernet port state and connection status.
•
When off, SMΩRF is not connected to LAN
•
When lit in half brightness, SMΩRF is physically connected to LAN but there is no active connection
from a computer.
•
When is fully illuminated, LAN port is opened by remote device or computer.
3.
Serial port status
•
When lit, serial port transfers data.
4.
T-BAR: Top Bar Graph data or ANT-S1/ANT-S2: Selected Antenna Cable
•
Shows what data are shown on TOP Bar graph.
•
Shows antenna cable selected for current frequency band for SENSOR1/SENSOR2
5.
B-BAR: Bottom Bar Graph data or ANT-S1/ANT-S2: Selected Antenna Cable
•
Shows what data are shown on BOTTOM Bar Graph.
•
Shows antenna cable selected for current frequency band for SENSOR1/SENSOR2
