Perform the following steps after you have installed the instrument and have
connected the input and output signals as described earlier in this manual:
1. Press and hold the PANEL ENABLE button to enable the front-panel control
buttons. The instrument beeps when the panel buttons are enabled.
2. Press the MANUAL MODE button to put the ECO8000 Series in Manual
mode.
3. Use the CHANNEL menu (See page 62, CHANNEL menu.) to configure each
of the installed channels as follows:
a. Disable all unused channels.
b. Enter identification labels for each channel that will be in use.
c. Enable/disable the changeover trigger function for each channel that will
be in use.
d. Set the correct threshold level (based on the signal type) for each channel
that will be in use. (See page 29, Configure the channel inputs and
threshold levels.)
e. For HREF channels, enable/disable the Relay Check function for each
channel that will be in use.
4. Configure the primary and backup sync generators which are providing inputs
to the ECO8000 Series as follows:
a. Set the signal outputs to the desired format.
b. Set the GPI outputs to assert on the desired fault conditions. (See page 31,
Configure the SPG trigger input.)
c. Save the configured signal and GPI settings as the power-on preset.
5. Configure the startup delay. (See page 30, Configure the startup delay.)
6. Verify the channel threshold settings:
a. Press the front-panel FAULT RESET button. If the signal thresholds
are properly set, the LED indicators for the active channels should all
turn green.
b. Use the DIAGNOSTICS submenu readouts to verify the threshold
settings. The levels should be around +3 dB for BNC channels and around
+4 dB for LTC channels. (See page 89, DIAGNOSTICS submenu.)
