2.3.4.1. Video Test Points
The Video test points are fully programmable from the « CONFIG » window (refer to the MCS User’s Manual and
the TCP/IP Interface Specification, Global Table) for monitoring any baseband signal:
Analog test points (uplink signals)
TCU : analog output
(FSK, PSK, Execute tone, …)
TCU output : data, clock & transmit status
I data after
PCM
encoding
Q data after
PCM
encoding
RAU : analog output
(range tones or modulated S/C)
RAU output : tone rank & tone ID
TMS : analog output (PCM/BPSK)
TMS output : data & clock (if PSK modulation ON)
IFM : analog input
(for TCU or TMS modulating signal
only)
IFM input : data & clock of modulating signal
Analog test points (downlink
signals)
IFR : analog demodulated output
DCU : combiner analog demodulated
output (as selected for Output 1)
Table 14: Interconnection Panel. Uplink Video Test Points
Note 1: Active (5 V) during FSK or PSK modulation or transmission of an Execute or pseudo-earth pulse.
Note 2: Set to 5 V at the beginning of the ranging sequence (transmission of first tone). Drops to 0 V at:
The first measurement performed on the first tone (INMARSAT and LMCO standards) or
The first measurement on the major tone (ESA, ESA-like, USB, and ESA code standard).
