Preliminary Technical Data
Figure 167. TES Configuration for Rx Interface Gain, Signal Detection Parameters and Manual Control Mode Parameters (when MGC Pin is Configured)
After finishing all the configurations, user could start the receive operations and observe the receiver gain changes. It is recommended to
start from the default settings and change the parameters one by one as needed. "Reset AGC settings to defaults" can be used to reset all
the parameters to their default values.
When the receiver gain control is not working as expected, the user could perform the following simple self-debugging:
• Check if the gain control mode is set as AGC or MGC.
• Check if the MAX and MIN index is set properly. When set improperly, the gain control capability could be significantly impacted.
• If detectors are not working, check if the gain step is set as 0, which will disable gain attack or gain recovery.
• When signal saturation is observed, adjust the slicer/interface gain could help.
