With Base selected, the nested Test page allows the user to simultaneously view the
constellations of all installed demodulators. The top image in Figure 6-12 shows such operation,
where Base
demodulator modules.
Contrast this with the bottom image in this same figure where, with Tx
functions applicable only to the modulator module are provided on this nested page – because
Constellation and Spectrum Analyzer functionality is reserved for demodulator modules, they are
not provided here.
The user may also view the constellation for either a standlone demodulator module (i.e., Rx
Test), or for the demodulator that is part of a modem group (i.e, MD
the previous page, illustrates such examples:
The top image depicts a configuration running independent Tx and Rx modules. The
constellation for the demodulator installed in Slot#2 is viewed by selecting the Rx icon.
The bottom image depicts a configuration running a grouped modem. With MD selected
from the icon quad, the nested Test page displays the constellation for the demodulator
module installed in Slot#2.
