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.

The following fields can be specified to send commands at each event. In several of the commands a keyword can be specified, which will be replaced by the actual value.

Test	Test started Test stopped

Signal

Frequency changed Keyword __freq__ will be replaced by the frequency in MHz. Other keywords that also can be used are: __freqHz__, __freqkHz__, __freqMHz__, __freqGHz__ which will transmit the frequency respectively in Hz, kHz, MHz or GHz. These values are transmitted in non-scientific notation, and use a '.' as a decimal point. Carrier Level changed Keyword __carrier__, will be replaced by the carrier level in dBm

Dwell-time

Dwell-time started Dwell-time stopped

Modulation

Modulation on Modulation off

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

The following fields can be specified to send commands at each event.

Antenna Tower

Antenna Tower started Antenna Tower stopped Antenna Tower changed Antenna Tower polarization

Turntable

Turntable started Turntable stopped Turntable 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
