5 Using the CTU with a TB9100
The CTU provides a selection of input and output connectors that allow the
TB9100 base station to be connected to standard test equipment, and also
to a PC running the Customer Service Software or Calibration Software.
These inputs, outputs and associated controls are identified in Figure 5.1 on
page 28, and their functions are explained in the paragraphs which follow.
Some items are not used with the TB9100, and others serve one function
with the TB9100 and another with the TB7100 or TB8100. Any
differences in function are described in the table that accompanies
Figure 5.1. A block diagram of the CTU is provided in Figure B.1 on
page 40.
The CTU is designed to make it easier to program, tune or calibrate
TB9100 modules. It also allows a user to monitor the digital output and
control the digital inputs on the reciter’s 9-way DIG D-range connector.
Figure 5.2 on page 33 shows a typical connection setup between the CTU
and a TB9100 base station. Refer to the TB9100 Calibration Software
documentation for details on how to use the CTU for tuning and calibrating
TB9100 modules.
