To accomplish this, slowly increase the drive level out of the Exciter by increasing the POWER setting in the Exciter RF submenu while monitoring the FWD power meter on the Exciter LCD screen (you will need to navigate between the Exciter RF submenu and high level status screen (or monitor via the web interface)).
  • Page 11 ATSC 25W TX Quick Start Guide 8. Check the SNR and Shoulder (LIMD and UIMD) RF performance of your system on the Exciter hi level status screen as shown below. Linear and Non- Linear corrections were already performed and optimized at a TPO of 30W (after the BPF) in the factory and so the stored correction coefficients should produce good results.
  • Page 12 ATSC 25W TX Quick Start Guide 12. Check RF Performance metrics (SNR, LIMD, UIMD) on the front panel screen of the exciter. Your TX should now be up and running properly into your load or on-air antenna. Continue to monitor system parameters as you allow the transmitter to operate and stabilize at full output power for another 30 minutes.
