Att. (dB): The given attenuation value at each step in the sequence. Values are
entered by the user and must be in denominations of 0.25 dB.
Dwell Time: Sets the time interval over which attenuation will remain at each step
in the sweep. User can set dwell times as short as 1 ms.
Bi-Directional: Checking this box will run the attenuation hop sequence from
starting point to end point and then in reverse back to the starting point.
Auto Run Settings:
You can specify the interval over which the RUDAT will automatically
run a sweep or hop sequence in one of three ways:
Continuous: The attenuator will repeat the sweep or hop until the user sends the
“Stop” command.
Duration: The attenuator will repeat the sweep or hop for a set length of time
specified by the user.
No. of Cycles: The attenuator will complete a specified number of full sweeps or
hop sequences.
Attenuation on Power Up:
This group of controls specifies the attenuation level for each
RUDAT when the RCM unit is turned on. The user can specify the power-up attenuation
level for each RUDAT in one of three ways.
Last Att: The attenuator will restore the last attenuation setting from the previous
session when turned on.
Note: It is important that the GUI is safely closed before powering off the system
in order for this feature to operate correctly
Fixed Att.: The attenuator will provide a fixed, user-defined attenuation level
every time the system is turned on.
Max Att: The attenuator will be set its maximum attenuation value when the
system is turned on.
Clicking the
button will activate your chosen settings for attenuation on
power up every time the system is turned on.
