Section 1
The dBm noise floor value
This is the noise floor ( dBm ) reading that corresponds to the zero count in section 3.31.3. It is entered
as a positive count corresponding to a negative value. For example, if the zero point in the example of
section 3.31.3 is -113 dBm, the noise floor value entered is 113.
The voltmeter channel 1 multiplier (Temperature sensor)
This is the multiplier that controls voltmeter channel 1 ( ADC channel 3 ). It is set as described in section
3.34 of the X1J4 overview doc.
The voltmeter channel 2 multiplier
This is the multiplier that controls voltmeter channel 2 ( ADC channel 4 ). It is set as described in section
3.34 of the X1J4 overview doc.
The voltmeter channel 1 offset value
This is the value subtracted from the ADC reading before it is multiplied by the multiplier parameter. It is
described more fully in section 3.34 of the X1J4 overview doc.
The voltmeter channel 2 offset value
This is the value subtracted from the ADC reading before it is multiplied by the multiplier parameter. It is
described more fully in section 3.34 of the X1J4 overview doc.
If you are NOT using the MFJ-52B deviation, temperature, volt, and S meter add-on PC board, then set the
METER command to:
No further input for the MEter command is necessary.
