To check bandwidth control lines for the A11/A13
bandwidth filter assemblies
Table 5-1 provides nominal bandwidth control voltages sent to the A11
and A13 bandwidth filter assemblies from the A7 analog interface
assembly. A calibrated analyzer produces control voltages similar to the
values in Table 5-1. (The values in Table 5-1 were measured while
default calibration data was in use.)
• Use the difference in control voltage between bandwidths from the
table as a guide for normal bandwidth operation.
• Use an extender board to measure the bandwidth control voltages at
the motherboard connector for the A7 assembly or the A11/A13 filter
assemblies.
• Refer to “Troubleshooting the A15 Motherboard Assembly” for the
location of the control lines for each assembly.
