Generate FFSK Test Tone
This item is found on the FFSK Testing menu. It is used to produce a FFSK test tone for
adjusting output and receive levels on the Model 26 and Model 6. When this item is
selected the following message is displayed:
Generating 30 Sec. FFSK test tone for level adjustment.
Press ANY key to end test sooner.
When this message is displayed the Model 26 is transmitting a FFSK test tone. This test
tone lasts for 30 seconds, or until a key is pressed, at which time the terminal’s screen is
redrawn with the FFSK Testing menu.
Test Station
This item is found on the FFSK Testing menu. It is either set to zero or to the address of
the particular Model 6 whose communication link with the Model 26 is being tested. It
must be set to zero whenever the Model 26 is returned to the normal operating mode.
Whenever this parameter is set to a nonzero value, the Model 26 will only poll the Model
6 station which that address identifies.
When the testing of a Model 6 is finished, this parameter must be set back to zero for the
complete polling of the system to resume. The Model 26 initializes this parameter to zero
during its startup initialization process and whenever the Software Configuration
Program is completely exited (by pressing E until BYE! is displayed). Every time the
value of this parameter is changed, the primary Model 26 initializes the status of all
Model 6s to Off Line just as the Model 26 does during its power-up sequence.
Note
While this parameter holds a nonzero value (test mode),
secondary Model 26s may not display the same Model 6 station
or unit status as the primary Model 26 does. Also the primary
Model 26 will still acknowledge Model 6 packets and all
operational Model 6s will still receive All Station-type commands
from the Model 26.
