This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Miteq-LCL LNA/LNB redundancy controller.
Tested with Miteq-LCL-RAU2 1:2 LNA Control unit
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type.
--- The operational parameters
--- The monitoring parameters
--- The faults page.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.Configuration parameters
At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the controller.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The device address (ascii code) as set at the device's front panel. Default address is @. |
| Serial | Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface |
| readBackDelay | Defines the delay the driver uses when it reads back parameters recently commanded. The delay is initialized at a proved preset value which should not be changed under normal circumstances. |
| model | Define the model/redundancy mode of the controller to be controlled by the device. |
| iLowLimit.1 | Set the low current threshold for the 1st LNA. |
| iHighLimit.1 | Set the high current threshold for the 1st LNA. |
| iLowLimit.1 | Set the low current threshold for the 2nd LNA. |
| iHighLimit.1 | Set the high current threshold for the 2nd LNA. |
| iLowLimit.1 | Set the low current threshold for the 3rd LNA. |
| iHighLimit.1 | Set the high current threshold for the 3rd LNA. |
