actual power output. The calibration factor ranges from 0.8 to 1.2. See paragraph , "Check
Front Panel Indications" in Chapter 6, "Maintenance" for detailed instructions on wattmeter
calibration.
Amplitude Alignment
Once the wattmeters are calibrated, the power output can be aligned. Power amplitude
alignment allows the transmitter to output the desired per-subchannel power, based on a
known power output with a single FM subchannel.
When amplitude alignment is performed, the RF-O! transmitter software creates two tables of
values: one for AM (voice) and one for FM transmissions. When the RF-O! transmitter receives
a control command from the RF-B! transmitter controller defining the next keyup modulation
and number of subchannels, the correct values are sent to the various DSPs and the Exciter to
assure that the power output per-subchannel is at the desired level. To view these values,
enter the RFO FIPS: a 87 0 (FM) and a 87 1 (AM) commands (See Figure 5-15).
