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 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.

|
|
The following fields can be specified to send commands at each event. Depending on the event, the keyword __result__ can be used and is replaced by a value. 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 changed
|
|
| Antenna Tower polarization
|
|
|
| Turntable
|
| Turntable started
|
|
| Turntable stopped
|
|
| Turntable changed
|
|
|
In all of the commands, it is also possible to include a keyword to insert the latest known value of another measurement value. Several keywords are available can be included in these commands. When one of these keywords is detected, it will be replaced by the corresponding value.

|
| __height__ |
the height where the antenna is moving to expressed in metre
|
| __heightm__ |
the height where the antenna is moving to expressed in metre
|
| __heightcm__ |
the height where the antenna is moving to expressed in centimetre
|
| __angle__ |
the angle where the turntable is turning to expressed in degrees
|
| __degree__ |

|
Some remarks should be taken into account with these keywords:
- the keywords are case sensitive,
- the latest known value at that moment will be used,
- if no value is known at all, the keyword will not be replaced, and will remain in the command,
- the values are transmitted in non-scientific notation, and will use a '.' as a decimal point.
