Displaying the I/Q Map
1. Press
Display I/Q Map
An I/Q map generated using the current values in the I/Q Values table editor is displayed.
The map in this example has four symbols. The map uses the following four unique values: 0.5, 1.0,
−0.5, and −1.0 to create the four symbols. It is not the number of values that defines how many symbols
a map has, but how those values are combined.
2. Press
Return.
When the contents of a table editor have not been stored, I/Q Values (UNSTORED) appears on the
display. Follow the instructions in the next section to store the custom I/Q table.
