OTHER SWITCH
The “other switch” template allows adding and defining any custom N to N switch. All configuration parameters
must be set manually.
MANual type of control
With the definition of attributes and properties out
of the way, we can introduce last type of added
control for any R port – MANual type.
In some situations it is useful to have a manually
controlled device in the antenna path. A manually
controlled output
cannot
change a structure of
the antenna path but can change its properties.
In other words, it can switch something on/off in
the antenna path. The most common use of a
manually controlled output is to bypass a
preamplifier.
This control can be added to any R port using the
Add Control
button and selecting “uLINK or local
RELAYS manually controlled by properties.”
Manual Control has no default settings and all
parameters must be set manually.
Output count
defines number of outputs as before. The
Attributes
and their names must be defined first. The
number of attributes determines how wide the InVector will be and how many possible combinations (states) will
be available. The
Switching table
defines the relationship between InVectors and Outputs.
Properties
determines what controls will be available using the
PATH
properties button on SMD.
The Router screen above shows the definition of single, toggle property controlling one output – in this case an
LNA bypass.
