Global Configuration Menu; Channel Plan - Promax 8 plus Manual Del Usuario Y Operador

INSTRUCTION MANUEL. PROMAX-8+

4.2.1 Global configuration menu

In order to accede to the
global configuration menu, from
any operating mode (SCAN, CH-
FR, SPECT, etc.), you must press the
CONFIG [14] key repeatedly (the first time that
presses this key accedes to the configuration
menu relative to the mode in use, which can
have more than one page). The global
configuration menu consists of two pages
(attached figure shows the first one), to
switch from one to the other simply press the CONFIG [14] key.
In order to modify the state of a given parameter, you must turn the rotary
selector [9] until this one appears shaded and next press it, then the value of the
parameter will appear shaded and turning the selector a new value will be able to be
defined. Finally, to validate the new state, press the rotary selector [9] again.
The first page of the global configuration menu permits to modify the following
parameters:
a) CHANNEL PLAN
It allows you to choose the active channel plan between the 10 channel plans that
unit can store (CCIR, EIA, FCC, etc.).
b) EDIT CHANNEL PLAN.
When selecting this field and pressing the rotary selector, the unit accedes to the
active CHANNEL PLAN.
The attached figure shows an example of
channel plan. The first line shows the name of the
channel plan (CCIR in the figure), the audio carrier
offset (5.50 MHz), the modulation type (FM) and
the units of measurement (dBµV). Next line shows
the head of the columns that constitute the channel
plan: the first column (CHAN) shows the name of
each channel and the second one (FREQ) the
associated frequency, in MHz. The third column
(BW) defines channel bandwidth, in MHz. The fourth column (ON) activates or
deactivates the channel and the fifth ones (DIG) defines if the channel is analogue or
digital.
The maximum number of channels in a channel plan is of 140.
The activation (ON) / deactivation (OFF) of the channels affects to the following
operation modes: CH-FR, SCAN and DATA LOGGER. When a channel has been
deactivated, this one will not be able to be tuned nor to be measured. This property
allows to make agile the operation of the PROMAX-8+, because it allows to activate
only those channels in which we are interested.
