Figure 15. RX DMI tab
Using the RX DMI Tab, the user can view all critical
operating conditions of the receiver MiniPOD module.
This view shows the receiver details:
Identifi cation information: e.g. Part Number, Serial
Number
Real-time operating condition diagnostics: e.g. Rx
Optical Input Power
Control status indicators such as: Temperature, Vcc,
Alarm status indicators such as: Rx LOS and high or low
power alarms – 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 Rx Channel
Disable, Turn on/off Rx Squelch Disable
Alarm channel control: e.g. RX LOS Mask
Rx Amplifi er and Pre-Emphasis 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 Rx
amplitude setting for Channel 6 to level 7, the user must
fi rst move the “Adjust Rx Amplifi er Setting” bar under ‘CH 6’
to level 7. This action will show up in “Rx Amplifi er Settings
to Write”, however, the setting will not be written to the
byte fi eld until the “Live Update” button is pressed.
