established a session with the EX7000, all other sessions established after that will be
“Monitor Only” sessions until the previous session has ended.
o Synchronous Mode: In this mode, the user can manipulate the RF components in the
EX7000 in real time. As the user clicks a port or sets a value and it affects the EX7000 at
that time.
o Asynchronous Mode: In this mode, the user may manipulate all RF components, but the
actions do not occur until after the Apply button is clicked. Clicking on the Revert
button will cause the RF components to revert to the state they were in the last time
Apply was clicked.
• Save/Load/Erase: These functions allow the user to either save, load, or erase a switch
configuration. Saving a state allows the user to use the same switch set up at a later time.
When the Save button is clicked, a prompt will appear. The user selects a number, 0 through
127, from this field. Click OK to save the current state as the state number entered. To load or
erase a saved state, simply click on the Load or Erase button, select the desired state number
from the dialog box that appears, and then click OK.
Switches are typically identified with an “SW” number located in the upper-left corner (and upper-
right corner for dual SPDT switches). If this indicator is clicked, a switch information menu
appears. From this menu, the user can determine the switch type, view specifications, and monitor
switch life using the odometer feature. Odometer information is stored on the controller card, so, if
a switch is moved from one slot to another, it is necessary to enter the correct odometer
information initially. This is done by entering the correct number of actuations into the Position
entry field and then clicking on the Set Odometers button.
