Programming via the keypad:
The PNGI can be directly programmed through the front panel
keypad (see Figure 3) using simple data entry sequences.
Internally the PNGI may have a maximum rf curcuit as follows:
two identical attenuation, filtering and standby circuits for
the internally generated noise source and for an externally
applied signal provided by the user. These three functions can
be independently programmed for each of the two signals (see
Circuit block diagram Fig 2). The two circuits then combine to
a single output.
Functions NOISE ATTEN and NOISE FILTER control the attenuation
and bandwidth of the noise source component of the output.
Functions SIGNAL ATTEN and SIGNAL FILTER control those same
functions as applied to the externaly introduced signal (if
this option was ordered). Programming details follow.
SETTING ATTENUATOR AND FILTER VALUES
To set the PNG's Attenuators and/or Filters to desired
values, press the first column key which corresponds to the
parameter to be changed. An Information Display similar to
one the samples below will be appear:
The 'bar' underlining the New Setting '000.0' or '0' is a
cursor, inviting the user to alter this parameter. A new
value may be entered from the keyboard, followed by 'ENTER'.
If only the 'ENTER' key is pressed, without entering any new
digits, the original value will not be changed. When the
'ENTER' key is pressed, the New Command will be executed,
setting the hardware appropriately. The new value will be
shown in the MAIN INFORMATION DISPLAY.
If the high resolution option was ordered then the noise
attenuator would display 127.9 dB instead. If the signal
side option was ordered then the signal atten key will fuction
when actualized. In either case maximum power is obtained at
the output when 0 dB of attenuation is keyed in and as the
attenuation level is increased the output noise or signal
decreases.
