Starting an AM Test Mode
1. Start the AM test.
At the prompt, type:
a 176 [mod pat_1 pat_2 pat_3 pat_4 repetition rate] <Enter>
where:
mod = 1 for amplitude modulation (AM)
pat_1, pat_2, pat_3, and pat_4 are the AM subchannel pattern indexes chosen from
Table 5-6
repetition rate = 0–128 frames
The test transmission starts immediately. The AM test mode keys the transmitter.
For more details on supported test transmission options, see the description of FIPS
action command 176 in Appendix C.
Note: Ensure that the distribution network is reconnected when the test is complete, so normal
processing can resume.
2. When the test is complete, disable the test mode.
At the prompt, type:
a 177 <Enter>
The test transmission ends immediately, and normal processing resumes.
