Front Panel Power Switch

To prevent malfunction caused by accidental touching, the front power switch of this equipment turnson the power if it is pressed continuously for about one second in the standby state. If the switch ispressed continuously for one second in the power-on state, the equipment enters the standby state.

In the power-on state, if the power plug is removed from the outlet, then reinserted into it, the powerwill not be turned on. Also, if the lines are disconnected due to momentary power supply interruptionor power failure, the power will not be turned on (enters the standby state) even if the line is recov-ered.

This is because this equipment enters the standby state and prevents incorrect data from beingacquired when the line has to be disconnected and reconnected.

For example, if the data acquisition requires a long time at the Access Probe measurement, momen-tary power supply interruption (power failure) might occur during measurement and the line could berecovered automatically to power-on. In such a case, the equipment may mistake incorrect data forcorrect data without recognizing the momentary power supply interruption.

If this equipment enters the standby state due to a momentary power supply interruption or power fail-ure, check the state of the measuring system and press the front power switch to restore power to thisequipment.

Further, if this equipment is built into a system and the system power has to be disconnected thenreconnected, the power for this equipment must also be restored by pressing the front power switch.

Consequently, if this equipment is built into remote monitoring systems that use MODEMs, thestandby function of this equipment must be modified.

1.1 General Description

The MT8803G Globalstar User Terminal Tester is a measuring instrumentdesigned to test Globalstar mobile telecommunication terminals. The Global-star User Terminal Tester provides the stimulus to, and measures theresponse from the phone. This measurement is performed by simulating thenormal phone functions over the RF links to and from the Globalstar Gateway.

Measurement functions offered by this analyzer are as follows:

• Transmission measurement: Globalstar specified digital modulated signals(e.g., carrier frequency, RF level, modulation accuracy) can be measured.

• Reception measurement: The frame error rate can be measured by output-ting a modulated signal using loop back. This enables the reception perfor-mance of the UT to be measured based on the measured frame error rate.

• Sequence monitoring: A performance test can be conducted for Call Pro-cessing of registration, origination, NW Origination, conversation, loop-back (service options S01 & 2001), frequency channel change, UT release,NW release etc.

2.3 Preparations before Power-on

The MT8803G operates normally when connected to 100 to 120 Vac, 47.5 to 63 Hz,or 200 to 240 Vac, 47.5 to 63 Hz AC power supply via the power inlet.

To prevent the following problems, take the necessary procedures described on thefollowing pages before power is supplied.

• Accidental electrical shock

• Damage caused by abnormal voltage

• Ground current problems

To protect the operator, the following Warning and Caution notices are attached to therear panel of the MT8803G.

CAUTION

WARNINGDisassembly, adjustment, maintenance, or other access inside this instrument by unqualified personnel should be avoided. Maintenance of this instrument should be performed only by Anritsu trained service personnel who are familiar with the risks involved of fire and electric shock.

FOR CONTINUED FIREPROTECTION REPLACEONL WITH SPECIFIEDTPE AND RATED FUSE.

CAUTIONReplace only with fuses of the specified type and rating. The use of improper fuses may cause fire.

NO OPERATOR SERVICE-ABLE PARTS INSIDE.REFER SERVICING TOUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

2.3.1 Protective Grounding

• Grounding with a 3-pole power outlet

The power supply 3-pole polarity (grounded, 2-pole type) matches that of the 3-corepower cord plug. Therefore, the MT8803G is grounded when the power cord is con-nected to the plug. As a result, it is not necessary to connect the FG terminal to aground source.

• Grounding with conversion adapter

If a 3-pole power socket is not provided, use the 3-pole to 2-pole conversion adapteras shown in the figure below. Connect the green wire protruding from the 3 to 2 con-version adapter to a ground source.

Figure 2–2: Grounding Instructions

• Grounding with a Frame Ground (FG) terminal

If a 3-pole AC power supply outlet is not available and the green wire cannot begrounded, the protective frame ground (FG) terminal on the rear panel must be con-nected directly to ground potential.

WARNING

• Prevention of danger using protective ground

If power is supplied without protective grounding, there is a risk of accidental electri-cal shock. If a 3-pole power supply outlet is not available and the green wire cannotbe grounded, the protective frame-ground (FG) terminal on the rear panel must beconnected to a ground potential before power is supplied to the MT8803G.

2.3.2 Replacing Fuses

The MT8803G with standard accessories has (2) spare fuses (T6.3A250V). Usethese fuses to replace the blown fuses. If the fuses must be replaced, locate and rem-edy the cause before replacing the blown fuses.

Table 2–2: Fuse Specifications

Figure 2–3: Fuse Holder

WARNING

• Prevention of electrical shock:

Before replacing the fuses, turn the power switch off and remove the power cord fromthe power outlet. If the fuses are replaced while power is being supplied, there is aserious risk of electrical shock.

• Confirmation before turning the power on:

After replacing fuses, the protective grounding mentioned above must be providedbefore turning the power on again, and the proper AC power supply voltage must beconfirmed. If the AC power supply voltage is improper, there is a risk of the internalcircuits of the MT8803G being damaged.

CAUTION

• Use only same type fuses:

If the replacement fuses are not provided, obtain replacement fuses of the samerated voltage and current as the fuses in the fuse holders. If the replacement fusesare not of the same type, they may not fit correctly, and failure or damage to theequipment may occur.

3.2 Operation Overview

3.2.1 Overview of functions

The MT8803G can perform many Globalstar CDMA measurements. The following isa list of measurements and general functions this unit can perform:

TX/RX Measurements

1. Transmitter Measurement

The MT8803G can measure the items below by receiving modulated signals from theUT.

• Modulation Analysis: Carrier Frequency, Carrier Frequency Error, ρ (waveformquality), τ (timing error), vector error, phase error, amplitude error, origin offset.

• Power Meter: (NOTE: Measures the average power with a power sensor.)

• IF Level Meter: (NOTE: Measures the downconverted IF Signal level.)

• Standby TX Power

• Access Probe TX Power

2. Receiver Measurement

The MT8803G sends a digitally modulated test signal to the UT, and the demodulateddata from the receiver is input to the MT8803G. The MT8803G then measures theFrame Error Rate (FER) and Message Error Rate (MER).

3. Call Processing Test

The MT8803G monitors the Call Processing (registration, origination, conversation,handoff, and release) sequence between the MT8803G and the UT.

Equipment Operation

5.1 Turning the Power On and Off

The MT8803G has two power switches: The Stby/On switch on the front panel and the Main power switch on the rear panel.

Figure 5–1: MT8803G Power Switches

WARNING • Protective grounding

If the power is turned on without protective grounding, the operator runs the risk of electric shock. If the MT8803G does not have a three-pole (grounding type two-pole) power outlet, be sure to connect the frame grounding (FG) ter-minal on the rear panel or ground terminal of the accessory power cable to a ground before turning on the MT8803G power.

Section 5: Equipment Operation

CAUTION • Checking the power supply voltage

If the AC power supply voltage is improper, abnormal voltage may damage the mech-anism inside the equipment. Confirm that the AC power supply voltage is within the specified rating before turning on the MT8803G power.

The following shows the specified power supply voltage and frequency:Voltage: 100 to 120 Vac or 200 to 240 Vac (Because an automatic input

voltage rating switching system is used, the rating need not beswitched.)

Frequency: 47.5 to 63 Hz

For normal MT8803G operation, leave the power switch on the rear panel set to on when the AC power inlet is connected to the power outlet, and only use the Stby/On switch on the front panel to turn the power on and off.

Check the power display lamps at the lower-left part of the front panel as listed in the table below to confirm the power supply state.

Table 5–1: Power Display Lamp Indicators and Power Supply States

5.2 Turning On the Power

Perform the power-on procedure by warming up the MT8803G’s internal reference oscillator to normal using the following steps:

Display Lamp / State Power Stby. Display Lamp(Green)

Calibration

6.1 Calibration Requirements

Calibration is done to help maintain the MT8803G’s Signal Output Level and Input Level Measurement accuracy. We recommend that the MT8803G be cal-ibrated at least every 12 months by a certified Anritsu Service Technician, even if the MT8803G is operating normally.

6.2 Equipment Required for Calibration

The table below shows the equipment required to calibrate each item.

6.3 Calibration

Do not start the performance tests until the MT8803G and associated measuringinstruments have warmed up for at least 24 hours and they have stabilized com-pletely.

To obtain the best measurement accuracy, perform the calibration at room tempera-ture. Keep AC power voltage fluctuations, noise, vibration, dust, humidity, and anyother factors which can affect results to a minimum.

6.3.1 Calibrating the Reference Crystal Oscillator

The stability of the MT8803G reference crystal oscillator is ±2 x10-8/day. Calibratethe frequency of the reference crystal oscillator by using a reference signal generatorwhich generates a reference signal that is either locked to a standard wave or to thesub-carrier of a TV broadcast on a color TV (the sub-carrier will be locked to a rubid-ium atomic standard).

8.4 Data I/O Formats

The device messages are data messages that are exchanged between the controller (typically a PC) and the device (MT8803G). There are two types of device messages: program messages and response messages. Program messages are messages sent by the controller to the MT8803G. Response messages are the messages sent from the MT8803G back to the controller.In addition, there are two types of program messages: program commands and pro-gram queries. Program commands are used to set the device (MT8803G) parame-ters and to instruct processing execution. The program query is used to query the values of parameters and measured results.All MT8803G program commands that use parameters must have a space between the command header and the first parameter. All subsequent parameters must be separated by a comma (,).

The format for the MT8803G GPIB program command is:

<command header><space><parameter 1>,...,<parameter n>,...

The format for the MT8803G GPIB program query is:

<query header><?><space><parameter 1>,...,<parameter n>,...

Multiple program messages may be sent on the same line, but they must be sepa-rated by a semicolon (;). However, the total number of characters in one string of mul-tiple program messages should not exceed 80. In this manual, both program commands and program queries are referred to as commands, with a “?” distinguish-ing a program query from a program command.

The end of the command/query text can be terminated with a new line (0A hexadeci-mal, 10 decimal), EOI (End or Identify line assertion), or both.

The data input and output formats referred to in this manual are delimited with the less than-greater than symbol (< >). These characters are not part of the data and are only used in this text to distinguish the data elements they represent.

The MT8803G data formats are summarized below:

<NR1> This notation represents ASCII integer values. A comma (,) isused to separate multiple values sent in a single command inputor output string. Examples of values that can be represented by<NR1> notation are:

10-29,179 (2 <NR1> data can be sent on the same line)

8 – 3


<NR2> This notation represents ASCII floating point values in decimalpoint format. A comma (,) is used to separate multiple valuessent in a single command’s input or output string. Examples ofvalues that can be represented by <NR2> notation are:

1.0-0.0001512.743, -180.07 (2 <NR2> data can be sent on the same line)

8.5 Service Request Generation

This is referred to as SR1 subset of IEEE488.1 and is described in section 11of IEEE488.2-1987 standard.

Service request is an asynchronous interrupt to the controller from thedevice and is the only way a device can "control" the controller on the GPIB bus. This is achieved by making the device raise the SRQ line of the GPIB bus. Once the SRQ line is raised the controller will know that the device requires aservice and it polls the device. By "polling" what is meant is that the controller asks the device to send data. The device sends a special 8-bit data(or 1 byte data) during this poll - the device sends the contents of its Status Byte Register (STB) during this poll. The STB is one of the registers in the device that holds the summary status of the various registers and the output queue of the device (see Fig. 8-1). Bit 6 of the STB has special significance. It can request service from the controller if set to 1. This iscalled the RQS bit of STB. The RQS bit is set as per the following equation:

RQS = STB(0) & SRE(0) + STB(1) & SRE(1) + STB(2) & SRE(2) + STB(3) & SRE(3) + STB(4) & SRE(4) + STB(5) & SRE(5) + STB(7) & SRE(7) ...(1)

SRE in the above equation stands for Service Request Enable Register and the num-bers in braces indicate the bit nos. of the respective registers. In MT8803G, bit 4 of STB is set to 1 whenever there is a message in the output queue ready to be sent out of the device. In order to set the MT8803G to interrupt the controller whenever the output is available in the output queue,set bit 4 of SRE to 1. Then whenever the bit 4 of STB is set to 1, by equation (1) RQS is set to 1 and the SRQ is raised by the device. Whenever the controller senses the SRQ to be high, it polls the device and it gets the STB contents from the device. The controller then checks which bit of STB is 1 (besides the RQS) and in the above case will detect that bit 4 of STB is 1 andconclude that the device has data that it wishes to send. The controller will then make the device the talker on the bus and will make itself the listener(i.e., read from the device). The device will send the output it has to the controller.

8 – 4


In the above way the device can interrupt the controller for any of the events in the Standard Event Status Register(ESR) and the extended event status registers(the END Event Status Register (ESR2) and the ERR Event Status Register (ESR3)).The corresponding enable registers are Standard Event Status Enable Register(ESE), END Event Status Enable Register (ESE2) and the ERR Event Status Enable Register(ESE3). In equation (1), STB(5) is set by ESR and ESE as below:

STB(5) = ESR(0) & ESE(0) + ESR(1) & ESE(1) + ESR(2) & ESE(2) + ESR(3) & ESE(3) + ESR(4) & ESE(4) + ESR(5) & ESE(5) + ESR(6) & ESE(6) + ESR(7) & ESE(7) ...(2)

In equation (1), STB(3) is set by ESR3 and ESE3 as below:

STB(3) = ESR3(0) & ESE3(0) + ESR3(1) & ESE3(1) + ESR3(2) & ESE3(2) + ESR3(3) & ESE3(3) + ESR3(4) & ESE3(4) + ESR3(5) & ESE3(5) +

ESR3(6) & ESE3(6) + ESR3(7) & ESE3(7) ...(3)

In equation (1), STB(2) is set by ESR2 and ESE2 as below:

STB(2) = ESR2(0) & ESE2(0) + ESR2(1) & ESE2(1) + ESR2(2) & ESE2(2) + ESR2(3) & ESE2(3) + ESR2(4) & ESE2(4) + ESR2(5) & ESE2(5) + ESR2(6) & ESE2(6) + ESR2(7) & ESE2(7) ...(4)

Using equations (1) to (4) the RQS can be set to 1 for a variety of differentconditions and by setting the RQS to 1 the service request generation is enabled.As another example of SRQ generation, let us assume we want the MT8803G to interrupt the controller when it finishes the adjust range operation in the power meter screen. The sequence of GPIB commands (described later) that will achieve this will be:

*SRE 32; *ESE 1; ADJRNG; *OPC

This sets bit 5 of SRE (i.e., SRE(5)) to 1 and sets bit 0 of ESE (i.e., ESE(0))to 1. Now when the adjust range operation completes, the *OPC command will set bit 0 of ESR (i.e., ESR(0)) to 1. Then by equation (2), STB(5) will be set to 1, and by equation (1) the RQS will be set to 1, which will raise the SRQ.

8 – 5


8.6 Error Reporting

There are two ways to find errors that may have occurred when sending a program message or multiple program messages to the MT8803G. One is by using the ERR, Event Status Register (ESR3), and the other is by using the ERR? query (Refer o Figure 8-1). Bit 3 of ESR3 records the occurrence of any error. So if the correspond-ing bit (Bit 3) in the ERR, Event Status Enable Register (ESE3) is set to 1, when an error occurs the ERR-bit in Status Byte Register (STB) should set. If the correspond-ing bit (Bit 3) of Service Request Enable (SRE) is set, a Service Request (SRQ) should be raised by the MT8803G. When the output buffer is read, the error message is obtained.

Error messages reported the MT8803G in the following format:

ERR: 0,0,...,xxxx.

xxxx is the 6-digit code corresponding to the error. The list of error codes returned by the MT8803G is located at the back of this section. “0” signifies no error has occurred. Once an error is detected no further processing of the command is done; The error code is returned, and the processing stops.If the input command is:

A; B; C

And if command C is in error, the error message returned will be:

ERR: 0,0, xxxx.

If command A is in error, the error message returned will be:

ERR: yyyy

Commands B and C are not processed when an error occurs in command A.

The second way of reading an error message is by using the ERR? query. This will return the error message associated with the previous command. If all “0’s” are in the response then no error has occurred. Please refer to the “ERR?” commands descrip-tion in this document for further detail.

8.8 GPIB Command Definitions

An alphabetical listing of the MT8803G GPIB commands are listed below:

8.8.1 IEEE 488.2 Common Commands

*CLS Clear GPIB status bytes

Syntax: *CLS

Remarks: This command performs a status structure clearcommand. All event status registers (standard,END, and ERR) are cleared, and the status byteregister is always cleared except for the MAV bit.

Related Commands: *STB?, *ESR?, *ESE2?, ESE3?

*ESE Standard event status enable register setting

Syntax: *ESE <val>

val: 0 to 255

Remarks: Sets the standard event status enable registerbits (see Figure 8-1):Bit 7: Power ON, when there has been a transitionfrom a Power OFF state to a Power ON state.Bit 5: Command Error (CME). This bit is set whenan incorrect GPIB code is sent to the Power meter.Bit 4: Execution Error (EXE). his bit is set when incorrect data is sent to the Power meter,eg.,ADDR 57 would result in an Execution Error as theallowable address value range is 1 to 30.Bit 3: Device Dependent Error (DDE). This bit is settrue whenever a measurement error occurs.Bit 2: Query Error. This bit is set true whenever anattempt is made to read data from the outputqueue when no output is present.Bit 0: Operation Complete (OPC). This bit is set inresponse to the *OPC command.All other bits are not used. The bits above are488.2 common bits.

Related Commands: *ESR?, *ESE?, *STB

8 – 29


*ESE? Returns event status enable register enable mask

Syntax: *ESE?

Remarks: Return format: <NR1>When converted to an 8 bit binary number, thisbyte yields the bit settings of the registerExpected response: 0 to 255.

Related Commands: *ESE, *STB

*ESR? Event status register value request

Syntax: *ESR?

Remarks: Returns the value of the standard event status register. Afterwards the event status registeris cleared. The returned format is:<NR1> When converted to an 8 bit binary number,this byte yields the bit settings of the register.Expected response: 0 to 255.

Related Commands: *ESE, *ESE?, *STB

*IDN? Request device identification

Syntax: *IDN?

Remarks: Return format: <Anritsu>,<MT8803G>,<serial no>,<firmware version>

*OPC Operation complete

Syntax: *OPC

Remarks: The MT8803G sets the operation complete eventbit in the standard event status register when allpending operations have finished.

Example: ADJRNG; *OPC

Will set the operation complete bit in the eventstatus register once the adjust range has beencompleted.

Related Commands: *OPC, *ESE?

8 – 30


*OPC? Operation complete query

Syntax: *OPC?

A p p e n d i x CGlobalstar Test Capabilities

This section defines the MT8803G’s ability to perform individual Globalstar tests. The ability to perform each of these tests are defined using the terms “explicitly” or “implicitly”. The term “explicitly” means that this test can be per-formed by using a screen specifically designed for that particular test. The term “implicitly” means that this test may be performed using a combination of screens, a sequence of GPIB commands, and possibly external test equip-ment to accomplish the test. In essence, this means there is no screen designed specifically to perform this test.

This section also attempts to define any additional equipment or software needed to support the tests.

Items that are marked “No current plan for support” may be added in the future through software upgrades.

C.1 MT8803G Globalstar Tests
