First configure the IFD pins themselves. Pins 1 and 24 are power supply
grounds, and are connected with wirewrap wire to the nearby ground posts.
Pins 2 and 3 supply +5 V and +24 V to the STALO, and should be wire
wrapped to the internal power posts. The STALO and DAFC power, are
then supplied externally through the terminal block on the DAFC.
Sixteen jumpers should be installed to connect the Control and Status lines,
that is, pins 4, 6–13, 18–23, and 25. We use pinmap uplink protocol, so H3
and H4 are removed; and a x1 on-board crystal, so H2 is also removed.
The STALO has an output frequency range from 5200 MHz to 6020 MHz
in 100 KHz steps. In this example, we assume that we need an AFC
frequency span of 5580 MHz to 5600MHz. This can be done with the
following setups from the Mb section:
AFC span– [-100%,+100%] maps into [ 3800 , 4000 ]
AFC format– 0:Bin, 1:BCD, 2:8B4D: 0, ActLow: NO
AFC uplink protocol– 0:Off, 1:Normal, 2:PinMap : 2
We map the AFC interval into the numeric span 3800–4000, and choose
the "Bin" (simple binary) encoding format. The actual frequency limits,
therefore, match the desired values:
5200MHz + ( 3800 × 100KHz ) = 5580MHz
5200MHz + (4000 × 100KHz ) = 5600MHz
