Fig. 5-21: Blockview dialog - Active Routing
The blockview dialog shows the most important hardware blocks relevant for RF and
baseband signal paths. If the instrument is split into several sub-instruments, the block-
view dialog displays only the resources assigned to the currently selected sub-instrument.
Displayed blocks (from left to right):
●
Baseband boards and signaling units
A generator instance is running on a baseband generator module, a measurement
instance on a baseband measurement module and a signaling application on a sig-
naling unit universal or wideband (SUU, SUW).
Each installed unit is represented by one block. If e.g. two generator modules are
installed, two blocks "BB Generator" are displayed. One block can be used by only
one firmware application at a time.
Each block provides the graphical presentation of an LED, indicating the state of the
displayed firmware application. A yellow LED indicates "RUN" or "ON", a green LED
indicates "RDY" and a red LED indicates started ("RUN") but error occurred (e.g.
trigger timeout). "OFF" is indicated by a switched off LED.
●
Baseband link
The blockview indicates which type of baseband link is installed: a fixed link (R&S
CMW-S550A) or a flexible link (R&S CMW-S550B/M).
●
TX and RX modules
All installed TX and RX modules are displayed. For configuration the modules are
distinguished by their type (RX or TX) and by a number. The numbering is done per
