Plot-assisted setup overview

RVP10 provides an interactive graphical alignment tool for burst pulse detection, clutter filtering configurations, processing selections, Tx/Rx phase locking, and calibration of the AFC feedback loop. The tool includes:

• Viewing samples of the burst pulse and receiver waveform to examine their frequency content, design an appropriate appropriate passband FIR filter or have the RVP10 calculate an ideal matched FIR filter, and observe live operation of the AFC.
• Checking the spectral purity of the transmitter on a regular basis to check for unwanted noise or harmonics.

RVP10 can track and modify the initial settings so that proper operation is maintained even with changes in temperature and aging of the microwave components.

You can use the dspx utility to display the plots, and you can perform graphical checkup and alignment procedures remotely through a network. To access the plot-assisted setups, type the P commands in the TTY setup interface.

RVP10 supports opcodes that allow the host computer to monitor the data being plotted.
