Quasonix, Inc.
4 Operating Instructions
4.1 Power-on Operation
When the receiver is powered up, the integral demodulator defaults to a particular modulation mode, which is based
on the configuration of the unit. The modulation mode priority is outlined in Table 5.

Startup Order
Modulation
1
Legacy PSK
2
PCM/FM (Tier 0)
3
SOQPSK (Tier I)
4
Multi-h CPM (Tier II)
4.2 Stored Parameters
The following parameters are stored in the unit’s nonvolatile flash memory. The descriptions and default values are
listed in Table 6. As with the Quasonix part number ordering method, parameters are typically stored in binary
format. That is, “1” designates the feature is enabled, “0” designates the feature is disabled.

Parameter Name
Description
Default Value
Bit Rate
24 kbps - 46 Mbps depending on mode
1 Mbps
Clock Polarity
1 or 0, denoting clock polarity inverted or
not, respectively
0 (inversion OFF)
Data Polarity
1 or 0, denoting data polarity inverted or
not, respectively
0 (inversion OFF)
De-Randomizer
1 or 0, denoting derandomizer ON or
OFF, respectively
0 (de-randomizer OFF)
Differential Decoding
1 or 0, depending on whether differential
decoding is ON
This is only meaningful for SOQPSK-TG
modulation. Note: IRIG 106-17 stipulates
the use of differential encoding, so
operation without differential encoding is
only possible with a demodulator
operating in a “non-IRIG 106” mode.
