--- The operational parameters
--- Meter readingsThis page describes the device driver and the device window for the Wavestream block upconverter with serial interface.
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type.
--- The operational parameters --- Meter readingsConfiguration 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 Downconverter. Default serial settings are Protocol RS485 with 9600/8N1.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | Default address is 48 (30hex) |
| LED | switch alarm LED on or off |
| savePowerupState | save settings like attenuation |
Remark
External and software tx: If the signal on Pin B is grounded to Secondary GND (Pin A), the unit will be hard- wired enabled. If the signal is left open, the unit is not hardwired enabled. Software TX Enable is logically ORd with external /TX_EN; either one will enable the unit.
