Computer-Assisted Microwave Technology Training System (8091)

  • USB Data Acquisition Interface (DAI) providing the following virtual instrumentation for the LVDAM®-MW software: Power Meter, SWR Meter, Oscilloscope, Ammeter, and Voltmeter.
  • The DAI is "stackable" and powered by the Lab-Volt Gunn Oscillator Power Supply, Model 9501.
  • The DAI has four multifunction analog inputs used to digitalize signals from the microwave components. The polarity, gain, and function of these inputs are user-configurable.
  • The DAI permits adjustment and monitoring of the bias voltage applied to the Lab-Volt PIN Diode, Model 9538. It also permits modulation of the amplitude of this voltage by using an external modulating signal, or an internal 1-kHz rectangular signal.
  • The DAI permits adjustment of the frequency of the Lab-Volt Voltage Controlled RF Oscillator, Model 9511. It also permits modulation of the frequency of the RF oscillator's output signal around the carrier frequency. A frequency monitoring output, intended to be connected to the prescaler output of the RF oscillator, permits measurement of the frequency of the RF oscillator's output signal with an ordinary frequency meter.
  • The DAI provides control of the turning on and turning off of the Lab-Volt Gunn Oscillator to perform zero adjustment of the virtual Power Meter.
