The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

Configuration parameters

The GTS6300 do not need any configuration parameters except the settings for the serial interface. The default address is 0.

parameter description
Serial Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface connected to the device. The recommended line setting for the use with the sat-nms software is 9600,N,7,1 .
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.
controlMode Switches the device control mode between local and remote.
dcPs1 Switches DC power supply 1.
dcPs2 Switches DC power supply 2.
dcPs3 Switches DC power supply 3.
dcBiasMode Switch DC Bias Control Mode between AUTO and MANUAL.
deviceComment An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines.
