3.6.7 FPGA Setup
The FPGA modulator setup is accomplished in the following nine screens.
3.6.7.1 FPGA Configure 1/5
FPGASetup1.bmp
Figure 3-40 FPGA Configure 1/5
FPGA Configure 1/5 consists of registers whose values are written immediately to the
FPGA when changed through the GUI.
No FPGA re-initialization occurs when any of these registers are changed.
The parameters of the FPGA Configure 1/5 screen are as follows.
• Transmitter ID: (Unsigned 16-bit Decimal, range 0 to 65535)
• Wide Area PID: (Unsigned 13-bit Decimal, range 0 to 8191)
• Local Area PID: (Unsigned 13-bit Decimal, range 0 to 8191)
• TS Stream Control: (TS1 Active/TS2 Active)
• TS Source Control: (Automatic/Manual)
• Infrastructure ID: (Unsigned 16-bit Decimal, range 0 to 65535)
• Local Time Offset: (Signed Real Decimal in Hours, range -16.0 to +15.5 in 0.5 in-
crements Register value is calculated as [Local Time Offset]*2)
• Daylight Savings: (Standard/Daylight)
