Device window pages
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 .
--- The operational parameters and meter readings --- 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 Amplifier.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The device address (decimal). The factory default is 65 |
| Serial | Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface connected to the TWTA. The factory default of the HPA is 9600,N,8,1 . |
| logGainChanges | Defines if gain changes should be written in the event log database. Can automatically be adjusted by logLevelEnabledId within Uplink Power Control |
| 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. |
