- Page 3 System Introduction The FSM-5 Full Spherical Mount enables your x100 series positioner to perform un-obstructed, phase centered spherical measurements of small to medium sized antennas. This guide will cover the installation of the FSM onto your positioner and the configuration of the DAMS Antenna Measaurement Studio software.
- Page 4 Hardware Setup and Mounting 1. Unpack the included parts and connect the power supply to the blue control box. 2. Ensure the x100 series positioner is level and the circular mounting plate is attached. 3. Position the FSM onto the 24" plate so that the back of the FSM mount is opposite of the square metal plate on the x100 series Hub.
- Page 5 FSM Mounting Examples To make proper spherical measurement you must phase center the antenna over the rotation axis. The examples below show the various positions that can be configured. each configuration below allows a range of movement allowing precise centering. CENTER MOUNT This Configuration is shown using the T shaped block in addition to the side flange...
- Page 6 Installing the Controller and Software Controller Installation- DAMS x100 Series 1. Ensure the x100 positioner is already installed and connected. 2. Using device manager (control panel>system>hardware tab>device manager) note which COM port the x100 positioner is currently configured on. 3. Connect the USB cable from the Controller to the PC, the PC will say it found new hardware. 4.
- Page 7 Operating the FSM As noted earlier in this guide the FSM mount is now the Azimuth axis of the measurement system and the turntable portion of the positioner is the Elevation Axis. General operation of the system and making mea- surements is nearly identical to the standard x100 system.
