Operation of the T-POV System
The T-POV Portable Unit Digital Display
The T-POV Portable Unit Digital Display
The Portable Unit Digital Display has six functions selected by the Display Selector.
• COPT: displays the Camera Unit Optical Power or Signal Strength (Camera OPTical) that
is being generated at the Portable Unit and sent to the Base Station. Displayed in units
of -dBm.
• BOPT: displays the Optical Power (Base OPTical) or Signal Strength generated by the
Base Station as measured at the Portable Unit. Displayed in units of -dBm.
• 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
To select the different display modes push the Display Selector. The transition from one
mode to another may take a moment. The Selector is cyclical rotating through each of the
modes.
The following table describes the sequence, abbreviations, and expected readouts in each
of Portable Unit's alpha-numeric display modes.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE Camera Unit Error Status (CAM)
A quick push of the Display Mode Selector advances to the
Portable Unit (CAM) diagnostic sub-mode. This mode
displays the error status of the Portable Unit. The Digital
Display Characters are Green if Portable Unit shows no error
and Red if the Portable Unit does have an error. This is a
high-level view of the Portable Unit error status.
For further information go to the Portable Unit diagnostic
display.
DIAG/CAM CAM Indicates that the sub-mode is CAM
DIAG/CAM OK Indicates that the Portable Unit is reporting No fault
DIAG/CAM ERR Indicates that the Portable Unit is reporting Some fault
This display cycle repeats until the Display Mode Selector is
pushed

COPT (Portable Unit Optical Signal Strength)
COPT Indicates that the Display is showing the optical signal strength at the
Portable Unit
-9 Indicates that the Portable Unit signal strength is -9 dBm
