To enter RSSI mode, hold down the Toggle/RSSI button
for 2 seconds. To exit, depress the button momentarily.
The number of LEDs lit is a relative indication of signal
strength to be used only to find the best antenna
position. Viewing the received picture quality should be
used in conjunction with this mode.
Data Pass-Through Mode:
The transmitter and receiver can be used to pass user
data one-way from the VTX5900 to the VRX5900 at
rates from 1200 to 9600 bps. (For optimum data
transmission without losses, both the transmitter and
receiver should be configured to pass or accept data at
the same rate. The data rate can be configured using
the TrangoLink software.) To enter Data Pass-Through
mode, the Stereo/Alarm switch should be placed in
“Alm/Data Mode On.” Then, from the TrangoLink
software, select “Pass-Through Mode.” Make sure both
the VTX5900 and the VRX5900 have been configured
for Data Pass-Through mode. The Right Audio channel
will be disabled in this mode while the Left Audio
channel can still transmit monaural audio. Alarms and
Link Verification cannot be transmitted when in Data
Pass-Through mode. Do not use CBLDAT-1 to send or
receive data since it contains extra wires not used for
normal data transmission.
Please see the pinout diagram in Figure 3 for more
information on wiring the data connector for RS-232.
