Table 3-1a:
Input Configuration (ECMP2)
Table 3-1b:
Input Configuration (ECMP3)
Each Channel has a Mode option and a
Value option that is dependent on the
Channel selection.
The Mode options are Toggle, Momentary
or N/A. Toggle refers to either a hard ‘on’
or hard ‘off’ state. Momentary refers to a
brief ‘on’ or ‘off’ state.
The Value options available are
dependent on the Mode option selected
and determine how the Modes are viewed
(see examples below).
Example 1:
For Input 5, set Channel to Power Supply
Test, Mode to Momentary and Value to
Run Tests. This indicates that when a
momentary switch on input 5 (i.e., Monitor
Point 5 on the ECMP2; Control Point 5 on
the ECMP3) momentarily grounds the
input, the transmitter will conduct a power
supply test.
Example 2:
For Input 1, set Channel to RF Power,
Mode to Toggle and Value to Low: Off,
Rising Edge: On. This indicates that when
switch 1 is open, the Vector will turn on
when the rising edge of the high input is
detected. In this example the ‘on’ state is
only determined by the change from low
to high, yet it also must not be in a low
state. This setup ensures that all switches
must be switched on before the Vector
can be turned on, while preventing the
Vector from turning back on after being
shut off due to a timed shutdown.
Use Table 3-1a (for ECMP2) or 3-1b
(ECMP3) to set up the Configure Inputs
page.
Device setting will indicate the
equipment’s name (e.g., Vector).
