• As it is an active device, the DR-VE-10-MO requires a DC power supply [12V – 0.45A]. The connection between the power supply and the driver is performed thanks to the provided power supply cable (banana plugs to 2-pin Molex).
DR-VE-10-MO User Manual Set-up: • The diagram of the basic DR-VE-10-MO set-up is as followed: 12V-0,45A • Recommended operating sequence: Ensure that input RF source (for example Pulse Pattern Generator, PPG) is off. 2. Attach a 50 Ohm load to output before supplying DC power to the amplifier.
• Launch the “DR-VE-10-MO Control” application that was just installed (by default, a shortcut is added on the Windows Desktop by the setup program). The first step is to select the correct COM port. To proceed, click on the down arrow of the list box and select the COM port connected to the controller.

Once the “Custom Mode” parameters are set and stored into the device memory, the DR-VE-10- MO will automatically recall them at the next power up. Therefore, the DR-VE-10-MO can be used without a computer connected to it until new adjustments are needed.
DR-VE-10-MO User Manual Adjustment procedure for signal optimization: a. Adjust the “Gain” parameter around 25-30 (medium gain). b. Adjust the “Crosspoint” parameter, this one controls the positive/negative distribution of the output signal and depends on signal type: If unipolar (+): Crosspoint = [85-95] ▪...
