The T-POV Base Station Digital Display
The digital readouts on both the T-POV Base Station and Camera Unit provide direct signal
strength measurements in dBm. These readouts also provide a wide range of diagnostic
information. The use of the digital readouts is described in this section.
The Base Station digital display has three functions selected by the Display Mode SELECT
button. These functions are indicated by the Display Mode LEDs.
• BASE RX: Base Station Optical Power or Signal Strength that is being received at the
Base Station. Displayed in units of -dBm. The acceptable range for operation is -7dBm
down to -22dBm. *
• CAM RX: Optical Power or Signal Strength being received at the Camera Unit (displayed
in units of -dBm). The acceptable range for operation is -7dBm down to -22dBm. *
• DIAG: one of four diagnostics modes:
• TEMP: displays operating temperature in degrees Centigrade of each circuit board
that reports temperature
• POWR: displays power level from monitored circuit boards
• REV: displays microcontroller firmware version from each circuit board with a
microcontroller
• CAM: displays the error status reported by the Portable Unit
To select the different display modes, push the SELECT button. The transition from one
mode to another may take a moment, with the transition into the DIAG mode taking
slightly longer. The Selector is cyclicaland rotates through each of the modes. Once in the
DIAG mode, a quick push of the SELECT button cycles through the various diagnostic sub-
modes described above.
Diagnostic Display Modes
The following table describes the sequence, abbreviations, and expected readouts in each
of the display modes.

(assumes after initial power up: see Powering the System on page 63 for a description of
the Power Up sequence)
BASE RX (Base Station Receive Signal Strength)
BASE RX -9 Indicates tha‘t the Base Station signal strength is -9 dBm
CAM RX (Portable Unit Receive Signal Strength)
CAM RX -9 Indicates that the signal strength from the Portable Unit is -
9 dBm
The display will cycle between "COPT" (Camera Optical) and
"BOPT" (Base Optical) before/after the numerical optical
Power Reading.
