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 transmit parameters. --- the module and transmit 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 unit.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The Serial Device Address. Factory Default is 1. |
| powerDisplayMode | Defines the display of gain or attenuation in the parameter section. |
| 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. |
| powerUpState | Defines the units transmit state after a power cycle. |
| units | Defines the measurement units displayed locally on the Front Panel which then also apply to the remote interface dBm,dBW or W. |
| 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. |
