.0.1 Monitors/Faults

A monitor is a comparison of a sensor measurement to a predetermined limit or range. Monitoring of

sensors is an ongoing process while running the diagnostics application. When a sensor measurement is

out of range, a fault is generated. Detected faults result in the illumination of the red LED, and a

corresponding message, which is viewable under the Faults menu.

Monitor tests are selectable via the menu items TX Monitors, RX Monitors, or PSMonitors. When

selected, a measured value used by the sensor comparison, and a Pass (“P”) or Fail (“F”) indication will

be displayed. The P/F indicates the results of the comparison to the valid range limits. If a monitor is not

enabled, an “NA” will be displayed.

Monitors are enabled automatically according to the state of the transceiver. (i.e. some TX Monitors are

enabled only when the transmitter is in the keyed state.) Even though monitors are always active when

enabled, only one can be displayed at a time. Before starting the display of a monitor, a previously

displayed monitor must first be stopped by selecting it a second time. The Fault LED is cleared on reboot.

Diagnostic Mode Menu Tree

The following lists the EIC menu tree available in diagnostic mode.

--> TX -Transmitter menu

>> TX Tests -Test the transmitter. Use the Tx Config menu to configure the

transmitter test.

-- Cont [START/STOP] -Start or stop a continuous transmitter test

-- Timed [START/STOP] -Start or stop a timed transmitter test

-- Cycle [START/STOP] -Start or stop a cycled transmitter test

>> TX Control -Control the transmitter now.

-- Turn PA [ON/OFF]-Toggle transmitter state. The transmitter will be

keyed at the currently configured frequency and power. No modulation will

be applied.

-- Turn Fan [ON/OFF]-Toggle fan state. Note that this control is an “or”

control with the hardware circuitry. i.e. The fan cannot be turned off by this

control if the current PA temperature exceeds the default fan-on set point.
