High Voltage Off
Command Byte
: 'A'
Function
: Turns off high voltage. If the unit is in Filament Time Delay, this command ensures that high voltage will
not turn on when Filament Time Delay ends.
Fault Reset
Command Byte
: 'B'
Function
: Resets any of the HPA's resetable faults.
Go To Power (dBW)
Command Byte
: 'D'
Function
: The HPA seeks the specified power level for 10 seconds.
Parameter
: The desired power level in "XX.X" dBW.
Compatibility
: Attenuator required.
High Voltage On
Command Byte
: '@'
Function
: Turns high voltage on. If the unit is in Filament Time Delay, high voltage will automatically turn on when
Filament Time Delay ends.
Constant Power (dBW)
Command Byte
: 'F'
Function
: The HPA seeks the specified power level until Constant Power is terminated by
Goto Power
(Command
Byte ‘D’ or ‘E’) or
Terminate Constant Power
(Command Byte ‘H’). Also called “Auto Gain Stabilization”, the
Constant Power (dBW) command allows the user to operate an amplifier over extended periods of time while
maintaining a set power level. Constant Power Mode is intended to compensate for gain drift (due to time or
temperature).
Parameter
: The desired power level in "XX.X" dBW.
Compatibility
: Attenuator required.
