Appendix A

Default Values and Ranges

A.1 Overview

This appendix provides information on the default values for most transmitter parameters. Where appropriate, valid ranges are also defined.

These default values represent the transmitter configuration after a master reset. Depending on how the transmitter was ordered, certain values may have been configured at the factory.

The default values listed here apply to all Version 4.x transmitters using a Version 3.x core processor.
