Configurable Switch Matrix

The Configurable Switch Matrix device driver is a Switch Matrix which is supported by RadiMation^®.  

For all text field applies: when a text field is left empty, no command is being send at that time.

Device Driver

Reset Text field to specify the reset command. The command is send to the device during the test initialization. Init Text field to specify the initialize command. The command is send to the device during the test initialization. Get ID Text field to specify the *IDN? query. The command is send to the device during the device check. Returned ID Text field to specify the expected respond to have the Get ID compared with. The string is used during the device check in case a query is specified. Deinit Text field to specify the deinitialize command. The command is send to the device during the test deinitialization.

Operation

During Test The command is send to the device just before starting the test. After Test The command is send to the device after finishing the test. After sending perform a read and discard result When selected the driver will perform a read after sending the command. Some device need to be read out before sending the next command.

Operation Complete

Wait for Operation Completion after sending command(s) This will append the *OPC? to the commands being send.

Test	Test started Text field to specify the command, which is send to the device at start of a test. Test stopped Text field to specify the command, which is send to the device when a test has ended.

Signal

Frequency changed Text field to specify the command, which is send to the device when the frequency has changed. The __freq__ will be replaced by the frequency value in case the retrieval of the respond was successful. Carrier Level changed Text field to specify the command, which is send to the device when the carrier level has changed. The __carrier__ will be replaced by the carrier level value in case the retrieval of the respond was successful.

Dwell-time

Dwell-time started Text field to specify the command, which is send to the device when the dwell-time has started. Dwell-time stopped Text field to specify the command, which is send to the device when the dwell-time has stopped.

Modulation

Modulation on Text field to specify the modulation on command. The command is send to the device when the modulation must be turned on. Modulation off Text field to specify the modulation off command. The command is send to the device when the modulation must be turned off.

For the following fields can be specified to send commands at each event. Depending on the event, keyword __result__ can be used and is replaced by a value. This value uses a '.' as decimal point.
For example: "My forward power is __result__dBm" --will be replaced by--> "My forward power is -3.15dBm".

Measurements

Before Forward Power After Forward Power Keyword __result__ will be replaced by measured Forward power in dBm Before Reflected Power After Reflected Power Keyword __result__ will be replaced by measured Reflected power in dBm Net Forward Power Keyword __result__ will be replaced by measured Net power in dBm Field Sensor Keyword __result__ will be replaced by measured Field strength in V/m

Antenna Tower

Antenna Tower started Text field to specify the command. The command is send to the device at start of movement of the Antenna Tower. Antenna Tower stopped Text field to specify the command. The command is send to the device when the movement of the Antenna Tower stopped. Antenna Tower changed Text field to specify the command. The command is send to the device when the Antenna Tower height has changed. Antenna Tower polarization Text field to specify the command. The command is send to the device when the Antenna Tower Polarization has changed.

Turntable

Turntable started Text field to specify the command. The command is send to the device at start of movement of the Turntable. Turntable stopped Text field to specify the command. The command is send to the device when the movement of the Turntable stopped. Turntable changed Text field to specify the command. The command is send to the device when the Turntable angle has changed.

Power expressed in milliWatt in dB values.

• 1 mW = 0 dBm

• 2 mW = 3 dBm

• 100 mW = 20 dBm

• 1 W = 30 dBm

• 100 W = 50 dBm
