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 upconverter.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The device address (decimal) as set at the device's front panel. |
| Serial | Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface |
| powerDisplayMode | Defines the display of gain or attenuation in the parameter section. |
| extMuteInput | Defines to disable or enable the input for Hardware Mute (RF-Inhibit). |
| extRef | Defines the reference source. |
| autoSave | Store current parameters automatically in the instrument startup configuration. |
| band | Defines the used frequency band and sets the corresponding rx frequency range S: 2000 - 2300MHz, C: 5850 - 6650MHz, C1: 5850 - 7200MHz, X: 7900 - 8400MHz, X3: 7000 - 9000MHz, KU: 12750 - 14500MHz, K: 17300 - 18400MHz. |
| hasEqualizer | Defines if the unit is equipped with an equalizer. |
