Fine-Tuning the Transmitter
The setup instructions described in Section 4.4.1. will normally bring the transmitter to
optimal operating conditions. Harmonic recommends fine-tuning each transmitter to your
specific requirements and preferences.
If the factory-optimized RF level is not suitable for your particular application, you can use the
following procedure to adjust the internal RF pad.
You can adjust the RF level while in either AGC or MGC mode. See the appropriate section.
Pad adjustment does not alter the current mode of operation (AGC or MGC).
