NORMAL OPERATION

Each time the generator is powered on, the self-diagnostics procedure is done to
ensure the generator is performing correctly. The preceding section, “First Time
Operation”,
provides detailed instructions that can be used during normal operation.

Specific operating techniques vary depending on the control and monitoring interface.
If you are using Virtual Front Panel to operate the generator, see the User Manual that
came with the software for further operational instructions.

UNDERSTANDING AND SETTING UP PULSING OUTPUT

Some Apex units have a pulsing option, which allows you to produce either pulsed RF
output or standard, steady output. To determine if your Apex unit has this option, use
the configuration PIN from your Apex unit and the following Configuration Note.

As of January 2001, only the AEBus Host Port (PIN 6 option 0) supports pulsing.

Add info about conversion pricing, etc. after unit has been in the field.
