Figure 14. TX DMI tab
Using the TX DMI Tab, the user can view all critical
operating conditions of the transmitter MiniPOD module.
This view shows the transmitter details:
Identifi cation information: e.g. Part Number, Serial
Number
Real-time operating condition diagnostics: e.g. Tx
Power, Tx Bias
Control status indicators such as: Temperature, Vcc
Alarm status indicators such as: Tx Fault, Tx LOS – a
check mark indicates assertion of the alarm
Furthermore the user has software ‘soft’ controls of critical
parameters:
High speed channel control: e.g. Turn on/off Tx Channel
Disable, Turn on/off Tx Squelch Disable
Alarm channel control: e.g. TX LOS Mask
Tx Equalization settings on a per channel basis
To see a snapshot of current settings, press the “Single
Update” button. To see real time continuous reads, for
example to see real time DMI fi elds, click the “Live Update”
button.
Likewise for the soft control settings, in order for any
change to take eff ect the “Single Update” button or “Live
Update” button must be pressed.
As an example, if the user would like to change the equal-
ization setting for Channel 6 to level 7.
The user must fi rst move the “Adjust EQ Setting” bar under
‘CH 6’ to level 7, which will show up in “TX EQ Settings to
Write”. However, the setting will not be written to the byte
fi eld until “Live Update” button is pressed
