The page 'Settings' contains the power sensor's operational parameters. Operational parameters are those which are assumed to be changed more frequently than the installation parameters on the Setup page.
The page displays a table with the parameters actually set. Each parameter value is a hyper-link to a separate page which lets you change this parameter. This parameter change page shows the actual parameter setting either in an entry field or in a drop down box. You may change the parameter to the desired value and then click to the 'Submit' button to pass the changed value to the power sensor. The power sensor automatically returns to the settings page when the parameter has been changed. To cancel a parameter modification you already started, either use the 'Back' button of you web browser or click to the 'Settings' button on navigation bar. Both returns to the settings page without changing the parameter you edited.
| Parameter Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Sensor Sensitivity | Sets the sensivity range, the power sensor uses. AUTO --- makes the power sensor select the appropriate range automatically. LOW --- selects the low sensivity range (for high levels). HIGH --- selects the high sensivity range. It is strongly recommended to operate the power sensor with in AUTO mode. |
| Average Filter | Sets the filter, the power sensor applies to the measured values. Valid choices are OFF --- no averaging. FAST --- the sensor displays the average of 8 readings. SLOW --- the sensor displays the average of 48 readings. |
| RF frequency | Here you may enter the frequency of the measured signal in MHz. If this parameter is not zero, the power sensor looks up the frequency response calibration offset for the given frequency and adds this offset to each measured value before it is displayed. The power sensor accepts integer numbers in the range of the calibration table (see info page) and 0 for no offsets. |
| Display Offset | The value [dB] specified with this parameter is added to the measured power before it is displayed and compared to the fault threshold value. If value is set to zero, the power sensor shows the power which is measured at it's input connector. The valid range is -99.99 to 99.99. |
| Alarm threshold | alarm threshold --- Defines the alarm threshold value. If the displayed power value (with any user defines offset and frequency response calibration already applied) drops below this limit, the power sensor reports a 'low signal' alarm and opens the fault relay contact. To disable the threshold, set it to -99.99. |
