..INITIALIZING..
See also Section 4.1.1 The MT-100A Microterminal at a glance.
The PDL-100A will now check the calibration of the unit by slowly moving the
electromechanical trombone delay line towards its maximum setting (maximum
delay) until it reaches an infrared light barrier set at a precise position. A full-
speed test is then performed by moving the delay to 0 (relative) and then back to
625 ps and re-checking the calibration. If microwave relays are installed, a power
cycle to OFF, ON, then OFF of all relays will be performed. The delay is reset to
its zero delay (0 ps) position and the unit is ready to accept commands.
The MT-100A Microterminal LCD screen will display as shown below:
For Model PDL-100A-625ps (Trombone only):
For Model PDL-100A-1.25ns and above (with delay extensions):
0.0000ns |S| 0
The PDL-100A is now ready to accept commands from the Microterminal
or via any of the attached interfaces (GPIB, TCP/IP, or RS-232).
