Polarization Status
Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect the polarization.
Servo Power Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect that the servo power is turned on.

If enabled is selected, an option for ON: HIGH or ON: LOW appears.

Transmit Radiate Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect that the transmitter is trying to radiate.

T/R Power Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect that the power is turned on to the transmitter/receiver rack.

If enabled is selected, an option for ON: HIGH or ON: LOW appears.

Signal Generator Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect whether the signal generator is turned on.

If enabled is selected, an option for ON: HIGH or ON: LOW appears.

Siggen Cont. Wave Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect when the signal generator is in continuous wave or pulse mode.

If enabled is selected, an option for ON: HIGH or ON: LOW appears.

Siggen Fault Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect if the signal generator is in fault state.

If Enabled is selected, an option for Fault: HIGH or Fault: LOW appears.

RCP Shutdown Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect if the RCP is turned on.

If enabled is selected, an option for Fault: HIGH or Fault: LOW appears.

Low Airflow Status

If enabled is selected, an option for Fault: HIGH or Fault: LOW appears.

The fault type is also specified.

Antenna Local Mode Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect if it is in local mode.

If enabled is selected, an option for Local: HIGH or Local: LOW appears.

T/R Local Mode Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect if the transmitter/receiver is in local mode.

If enabled is selected, an option for Local: HIGH or Local: LOW appears.

Safety Interlock Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect if the safety interlock is open.

If enabled is selected, an option for Fault: HIGH or Fault: LOW appears.

The fault type is also specified.

Standby Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect if the transmitter is in the standby mode.

If enabled is selected, an option for Standby: HIGH or Standby: LOW appears.

Magnetron Current Status

Select Enabled or Disabled to indicate whether the antenna controller can detect that the magnetron current is incorrect.

If enabled is selected, an option for Fault: HIGH or Fault: LOW appears.

The fault type is also specified.
