• Fast Reflected Shutdown Trip – Use the Up/Down control to adjust the trip point for
the Fast Reflected Shutdown. The only possible reason that this may require adjustment
is to eliminate nuisance trips occurring when the ADAPT output is turned on. Adjust the
level up by one click, reset the upconverter, and turn the ADAPT drive output control
OFF and ON. If trip reoccurs, repeat this process until the upconverter no longer trips.
CAUTION: It should not be necessary to raise the level by more than 100 units (from the
initial displayed value). Be aware that if the threshold level is adjusted too high, reflected
power protection may be diminished.
• Done – Clicking on this button closes the Meter/Display Calibration window. Note that
changes take effect immediately, so any changes are permanent (unless changed back).

2.1.5.4 Save Upconverter Settings
This function is accessible from the Maintenance Options screen. Clicking on the button will
write the current program configuration and upconverter parameters to a file. Each time the
button is pressed, a new file is created. The unique filename is created using the current date
and time. An example file name would be: Settings-2004-05-17-17-42-15.txt where 2004-05-17
is the date in YYYY-MM-DD format and 17-42-15 is the time in HH-MM-SS format. A sample of
the contents from a saved file is shown in Figure 10. Note that the parameters for each
upconverter vary depending on the system. Your results probably will not match the values in
this example.
