DOC-01-TELAS-CRG-4 ASTi ACE Studio Components Reference Guide Rev.M After determining that the signal is received, the signal power and noise power are affected by the AGC. Additionally, when the squelch is off, the maximum AGC will determine the background noise when no signal is received. The received audio is routed out of the component locally and/or onto the Intercom Bus Service where an operator can hear it (typically thru a communications panel component).

Description: This component provides a low level interface to an URC-200 radio, through an ACE-RIU serial port. The interface presented in the data viewer is similar to a combination Radio/RCU + Radio/Transceiver data viewer. Essentially this means there is a ‘control’ section and ‘status’ section to the component.
