Manual Overview

The SL754D CHANNELIZER is equipped with an Auto Inspect function that automates system measurements, enhancing accuracy and efficiency for various tests, including FCC Proof of Performance. This function is initiated via the AUTO INSPECT button, scanning each channel in the current plan and performing measurements such as RF CARRIER, A/V, C/N, and HUM. The SL754D can store up to 4,000 measurements, with the memory usage dependent on the channel plan size. For data transfer, the SL754D connects to a serial printer via a serial RS-232 port. Proper connection requires matching the SL754D’s RxD and TxD pins with the printer’s corresponding pins, ensuring ground pins are connected. The printer must be configured to the SL754D’s communication protocol, typically set by DIP switches or software in newer models. Troubleshooting involves verifying cable continuity and ensuring correct protocol settings, which include a baud rate of 9600, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity, with Xon/Xoff handshaking.

Quick Issues Covered

• Diagnose AUTO INSPECT test failures due to unstable RF levels.
• Resolve serial connection issues for data transfer to printers.
• Use schematics for tracing SL754D's RS-232 port connections.

Installation / Setup

The SL754D requires a serial connection to a serial printer, as parallel printers cannot be connected directly. Most printers use a 25-pin connector, and the wiring configuration involves connecting the SL754D’s RxD pin to the printer’s TxD pin, the SL754D’s TxD pin to the printer’s RxD pin, and the SL754D’s Gnd pin to the printer’s Gnd pin. A ready-made 9 to 25 pin adapter cable can be used, ensuring it connects to the TxD and RxD pins correctly. The printer must be set to the SL754D’s communication protocol, which includes a baud rate of 9600 (default), 4800, 2400, or 1200, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, Xon/Xoff handshaking, and no parity. These settings are typically selected by DIP switches on the printer, or stored in software for newer models.

Operation

The SL754D “CHANNELIZER” features an Auto Inspect test function that allows for automatic system measurements and data storage. This function is useful for various tests, including preventative maintenance and FCC Proof of Performance tests. The Auto Inspect function is activated by pressing the AUTO INSPECT key on the front panel. It scans each channel in the current channel plan and performs measurements such as RF CARRIER, A/V, C/N, and HUM. The SL754D can store up to 4,000 measurements, and the speed of the AUTO INSPECT test depends on the size of the channel plan. After executing an AUTO INSPECT test, data can be reviewed on the SL754D’s display or printed using a serial printer connected via the SL754D’s RS-232 port. Proper hardware connections and printer settings are required for successful printing.
