1. Initial status 

Microwave VI will look like as in the image below  

  • There are two red warnings in the warning section















The microwave power supply is in the "Standby" (Off) mode

 

2. Turning on the microwave system

  • Press the "Press" button on the microwave power supply to start the high-voltage transmission. The mode will be changed to STANDBY → TRANSMIT 


  • Press the "Run the recovery sequence" button on the microwave VI.  The "Motor Running" led will turn on. The motor position will be advanced. 










    • You will see EIO temperatures are going up. Especially the red graph (Waveguid) will increase at a higher rate. 
    • Once the EIO waveguide temperature goes over 35 oC, the "EIO low temperature.." warning will be cleared.
    •  Sometimes "Lost EIP signal" warning will be cleared. (this is not essential)
    • Turn on "Warning sound" button 


    • Once the motor stops, The recovery sequence will be completed. 
  • Now the system is ready to polarize 

3. Moving to the polarization phase

  • Press the "Start Auto control" button to maximize the polarization. No need to change any other parameters.

4. Recover from Errors


You will hear a warning sound when the EIO waveguide temperature goes below 35 oC. 

  • Check the microwave power supply for errors. If power supply is in the Error state, Press the, transmit/standby button two times around one-second intervals. It will clear the warning and start the microwave transmission.
  • The EIO Waveguied temperature should go up. If not, Press the "Run the recovery sequence" button on the microwave VI and follow the recovery sequence


5. Turning OFF the microwave system ( for the HOLD MODE)

  • Turn OFF the "Warning sound" button on the microwave VI.
  • Press the "Press" button on the microwave power supply to terminate the high-voltage transmission. The mode will be changed to TRANSMIT → STANDBY
