--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Xicom TWT XT Series amplifiers. The driver has been tested with a XT-100 without attenuator via XTC-100D single HPA controller and with old firmware 3.28.
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 |
