USER'S MANUAL. PROMAX-10
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.
In the case of defining the channel as digital, the configuration page of
parameters relative to QAM measurement will be accessed directly (see section
4.2.3.1.6).
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 DATALOGGER. 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-10, because it allows to activate
only those channels in which we are interested.
