Configurable Amplifier

The Configurable Amplifier device driver is a Amplifier which is supported by RadiMation®.

The configurable amplifier device driver can be used to control amplifiers for which no RadiMation® device driver is present yet. By specifying the correct commands, it is possible to send the desired commands to an amplifier. However be aware that this device driver is simple and is not able to perform more complicated tasks. Including delays and sending multiple commands at once is not possible in this device driver, a programmed device driver is needed to achieve that. Also the retrieval of the actual status of the amplifier is not supported by this configurable device driver, as the interpretation of the correct response should be very versatile.

ScreenElementDescription.png Use Remote Control and send specified commands If the checkbox is ticked, the remote control of the amplifier will be used by using the specified commands. If the checkbox is not ticked, no commands will be transmitted to the amplifier at all
ScreenElementDescription.png Reset The code that needs to be send to the device to initialize it in a defined state. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Init The Init code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Get ID The code that needs to be send to device to get the identification back. A common used SCPI command is *IDN?. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Returned ID The code that is send back as a return on the Get ID code. When left blank, no check will be performed.
ScreenElementDescription.png Deinit The Deinit code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Wait for Operation Completion after sending command(s) If the checkbox is checked, every transmitted command will include a check to determine if the execution of the command is finished.


Operation

ScreenElementDescription.png Power On The power on code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Band Selection The band select code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Operate The operate code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Standby The standby code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Power Off The power off code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.png Delay after power on The time that must be waited after sending the power on command.
ScreenElementDescription.png Delay after power off The time that must be waited after sending the power off command.


Example

For this example the driver will be used to control the Milmega Controller AC-001.

Summary of control commands of Milmega Controller AC-001

Description Command Parameters
Standby / Operate OUT1 0 = RF STANDBY
1 = RF ON
Band Selection OUT3 0 = BAND 1
1 = BAND 2
Power off / on OUT4 0 = LINE STANDBY
1 = LINE ON

These commands for the Milmega AC-001 controller can be implemented in the Configurable Amplifier device driver by specifying the codes, as in the following screenshots:
