AT004 Operating Instructions
P/D 110409

SECTION F. NOISE DATA

When the NOISE DATA function key is pressed, the LCD will display.....................

The noise readings will update about every ½ second.

The "AVG RFI" reading is the average noise over 3 cycles

The "ZERO Cr" reading is the noise that is present in the receive window after the zero crossing.

If the noise readings are above 5.0 Volts, “ >5.0V “ will be displayed. Noise levels are voltage peak to peak.

SECTION G. SIGNAL DATA

When the SIGNAL DATA function key is pressed, the LCD will display...................

The Voltage reading under X10 is the approximate voltage of the PCC
Signal voltage at the AT004.

The data under FRAMES is the actual received X10 code.

The display will only show one frame of two frame packets (P01P01). For example:

The display indicates that the AT004 received either P01P01 followed PONPON or it indicates
that the AT004 received P01 followed by PON. Note that this mode will not be useful in determining if
X10 code is from a repeater.
Signal levels are voltage peak to peak.

SECTION H. SIGNAL AND NOISE DATA

When the SIGNAL and NOISE DATA function key is pressed, the LCD will display..

The noise reading is the noise present in the receive window after the zero crossing.

The X10 reading is the voltage of the received X10 code.

If the readings are above 5.0 Volts, “ >5.0V “ will be displayed.

Also, it is possible for the AT004 to receive a start code and then have the following
X10 code be corrupted. In this case, the display will show the following..................

Signal and noise levels are voltage peak to peak.
