Detailed Description

Carma downconverter CAN module control interface.

Both the Wideband and Spectral-line downconverter CAN modules will share this control interface. It is likely that the Spectral-line system will inherit from it and define additional functionality.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum carma::downconverter::DownconverterControl::FilterType

Valid output bandwidth filter types.

Not all modules are equipped with all filters.

Definition at line 40 of file DownconverterControl.idl.

enum carma::downconverter::DownconverterControl::SidebandType

Sideband type.

Currently used on Spectral Line Downconverter only.

Definition at line 31 of file DownconverterControl.idl.

Member Function Documentation

boolean carma::downconverter::DownconverterControl::checkIfOutputPower	(	in float	power,
		in float	delta
	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Check that IF Output power is within a specified range.

This command is for engineering use only!

Parameters

power	center IF Output power
delta	value around IF Output power

Returns: true if within boundaries false otherwise.

Exceptions

carma::util::UserException if module is OFFLINE.

void carma::downconverter::DownconverterControl::enableIfOutAlc	(	in boolean	enable	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Enable IF output Automatic Level Control (ALC).

Parameters

enable true for on false for off.
