Be aware of the power level applied to the waveguide input. Non-warrantied damage to the internal mixer can occur if the power level is at or above the damage level specified in the VDI User's Guide for "RF Input." Before using your SAX module, please read all documentation from VDI (included on the USB drive).

Always use the information printed on the SAX label of your module. • When using the LO/IF (L) Input (External Mixing), use LO (L): N= X, with "X" being the multiplication factor value shown on your SAX label. • When using the LO/IF (H) Input, use LO (H): N= X, with "X" being the multiplication factor value shown on your SAX label.

Frequency Up-Converter Operation The option UDC has an IF input and 9 volt connections for external devices. For frequency up-conversion, the left jumper is to be removed. Voltage Bias Port LO input (H) IF input The IF input frequency will be up-converted to the multiplication factor of the LO input (H) ++ IF input N x LO input (H) + IF input = waveguide output frequency}.
