12.4Monitoring

The remote demodulator’s value of Eb/No can be monitored at all times, either from the front panel (MONITOR, AUPC) or via the remote control interface. The resolution of the reading is 0.2 dB. For all values greater than or equal to 16 dB, the value 16.0 dB will be displayed. As long as framing is enabled, the value will still be available, even though AUPC may be disabled.

Also displayed is the current value of TX power increase. If EDMAC framing is enabled, but AUPC is disabled, this will indicate 0.0 dB. This value is also available via the remote control interface.

CAUTION

Comtech EF Data strongly cautions against the use of large values of permitted power level increase under AUPC control. Users should consider using the absolute minimum range necessary to improve rain- fade margin.
