When the RDMS™ is powered on, the default setting is Tracking, unless the unit was powered off from a preset
condition. If the unit was powered off from an unmodified preset setting, then the default condition of Modulation
Scaling is as defined in the preset. When Tracking is set, the modulation scale index is actively being tracked.
Note:
The active setting is not saved when the rack is powered off, unless the Modulation Persistence option was set
to On.
Frequency, mode, and bit rate changes, or any changes to a preset, cause the Modulation Scaling setting to revert
back to Tracking. This is because the optimal signal monitoring is no longer valid.
If there are two channels, and the Combiner is set to On, the Modulation Scaling is NOT linked. Modulation Scaling
for channel one and channel two functions independently.
Note:
Whenever the Diversity Combiner is On, any changes made to the Frequency option (even with Frequency
Diversity On enabled) causes Modulation Scaling for both channels to be set to Tracking.
When the RDMS™ has a good lock on the target transmitter, Modulation Scaling should be set to Locked.
When Modulation Scaling is set to Locked or Off, the graphs display in green, as shown in Figure 152. This
indicates the optimal Modulation Index is set. For more information about the Modulation Index, refer to section
4.2.3.1.2.2, Scale Settings Window.
