Delay for Mod

This parameter allows the operator to insert additional delay to buffer more data

after modulator transmission is ceased. Enter M to modify this parameter.

Delay for Demod

This parameter allows the operator to insert additional delay to account for the

tuning of the demodulator. Enter D to modify this parameter.

LockTimes

LockTime settings for the four data rates displayed can be adjusted either up or

down, but default settings based on satellite testing should be used as a starting

point. These defaults are stored in each modulator/demodulator unit and are

restored by entering R at the command prompt.
Once restored, the lock time for each data rate can be modified by entering the

corresponding number.
