To change the voltage for a given board, circuit and input, key a value between 0.7 and 4.0 into the proper
field(s) and click the
[Update VM]
button.
As a reminder, only the values of .7 through 4.0 are allowed. Any other value will cause an error window
to be displayed with the message
‘Valid entries are 0.7 to 4.0 only’
.
The
[Reset VM]
button resets all Vector Modulator values to the default value of 1.5 volts.
Note: when other buttons on this screen are used to automatically recalculate voltages (e.g.
[Angle
Update]
), some values MAY be calculated that are outside the valid range. If this situation occurs, you
will receive an error message when clicking the
[Update VM]
button that is NOT a result of an edit to
one of the voltages. Please scan all values, correct any out-of-range entries, and click the
[Update VM]
again.
4.1.1.2
Receive Port Switch
The Wireless Switch automatically determines which input port to use to receive data, though, for testing
purposes, ports may be enabled or disabled. To disable a port enter a 0 in the data entry field or to enable
a port enter a 5 in the field. When all the values are set to your satisfaction, click the
[Update Switch]
button.
Only one port should be enabled at a time.
Again, only the values of 0 (off) and 5 (on) are allowed. Any other value will cause an error window to
be displayed with the message
‘Valid entries are 0 and 5 only’
.
The
[Reset Switch]
button resets all Receive Port Switch values to the default value of 0 volts.
4.1.2
Test Options and Switch Status Buttons
Following are a list of the test options and switch status buttons on the Main Control Page.
4.1.2.1
Angle
1.
This option allows us to direct the angle of the transmit beam left-and-right up to +/- 48 degrees from
bore sight. If you enter a value outside of this range, you see the following error:
‘Valid angles are -
48 to 48’
.
2.
Angle values are valid only in increments of 6, so if you enter any other number, it will automatically
be changed to the nearest increment of 6.
3.
Changing the angle value has two side effects: 1) the DAC voltages will automatically be
recalculated and 2) the Vivato logo will change to indicate the current beam direction.
