The ODU 300 series incorporates a detector for Tx power measurement. It is
used to provide measurement of forward power as a performance parameter, and
to provide a calibration input for transmitter operation over temperature and
output range.
Viewed Tx power ranges always match the capabilities of the ODU for a given
modulation. When modulation is changed, 9500 MXC CT automatically adjusts/
restricts Tx Power to be within valid range.
Diagnostic capabilities include:
• System Summary
• Event Browser
• History
• Alarms
• Performance
• System/Controls
• Circuit Loopbacks
