SETUP AND OPERATION
PANEL CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
This section starts with an overview of front-panel controls and
indicators. Please at least scan this section to verify that your
understanding is in agreement with our terminology.
METER
SELECT
This pair of up/down buttons cycles the Model 540
among its various monitoring functions. The
selected function is indicated by an attendant LED.
The functions are:
CALIBRATE
– in this setup mode, metering and
audio monitoring is switched-over to a
measurement of total baseband modulation
(primary carrier deviation). The corresponding set
point (above the 10% scale designation) allows gain
to be adjusted such that this mark coincides with
full carrier modulation; that is, “100%” or ±75kHz
carrier deviation. For proper annotation in this
mode, multiply the indicated percentage or kHz-
deviation numbers by 10. (FS=130% or ±100kHz)
PERCENT INJECTION
– this scale and the
±kHz
INJECTION
scale are active when measuring the
modulation contribution of the tuned subcarrier.
The 10% point on the upper scale is opposite the
±7.5kHz point on the one below, indicating the
relationship of these measurements to “full”
modulation; that is, 100% or ±75kHz carrier
deviation.
SCA ±kHz DEVIATION
– this measurement option
displays the actual deviation of the audio-
modulated SCA subcarrier. It is a valid
measurement
only
for SCA, and is
completely
meaningless
for digital data subcarriers. This
measurement is not affected by
SCA AUDIO
(de-
emphasis) selection.
SCA AUDIO LEVEL
– this is a
relative
, dB-calibrated
scale for measurement of SCA program levels, and
will reflect a
FLAT
or a
DE-EMPH
(de-emphasized)
SCA AUDIO
selection. Factory calibration sets this
measurement to indicate “0dB” at an SCA
