3 Controlling ATOM Devices
- 15 -
This chapter explains how to use ATOMControl to configure the Mute State of an ATOM
BUC or SSPA, how to configure the Digital Attenuator for an ATOM BUC, and how to
send custom commands to an ATOM device.
Controlling the Mute State
The tabbed interface in the Controls section of the ATOMControl User Interface contains
four tabs: the Device Info tab, the Mute tab, the Attenuation tab, and the Custom
Commands tab. The Mute tab can be used to monitor and control the Mute configuration
for the BUC or SSPA.
If the Mute tab is selected, then Mute Configuration monitoring will begin automatically
when the ATOMControl communication interface is successfully initialized. Monitoring is
automatically disabled when switching to a different tab, and is automatically re-enabled
when switching back to the Mute tab. Deinitializing the communication interface while
the Mute tab is selected will also disable Mute Configuration monitoring.
Figure 3 below shows the Mute tab controls:
