Example of settings. Figure 0. "LNB settings" screen 6.3. LNB #-4 tables The LNB #-4 tables consist of following parameters: "Title" - the user entered description of corresponding RF input. This title will be used in the SAT input selection box of "Channel stacking" table (see Figure, section 6.4). "LNB LO frequency" set the LNB local oscillator lower frequency in megahertz. Use 9750 MHz for the universal converter. "LNB HI frequency" set the LNB local oscillator upper frequency in megahertz. This parameter is enabled only when the "LNB power" is set to "Auto". Use 0600 MHz for the universal converter. LNB Power - power supply of the converter can be set to Off, Auto, 3V, 8V, 3V/kHz, 8V/kHz. If Auto is selected, power supply voltage of the converter is chosen according to set polarization 8V Horizontal, 3V Vertical; if the Frequency of the satellite exceeds the value F=(950+LNB Hi+50+LNB Lo)/, the khz signal is switched ON and LNB Hi freq. is selected. For example: LNB Hi=0,600, LNB Lo=9750, then F=(950+0,600+50+9750)/=,75MHz. When power supply of the converter is set to value different from "Auto" - "LNB HI frequency", Satellite, "Polarization" rows are disabled and the "LNB LO frequency" value is used for IF frequency calculation. ATTENTION! In the mode"auto" all transponders of selected input must be less/equal or more this threshold value. Otherwise, use manual LNB settings. Satellite - DISEQC command is used to select the satellite when the switch that supports DISEQC protocol is present. Possible commands: None, SAT A, SAT B, SAT C, SAT D. This parameter is enabled only when the "LNB power" is set to "Auto". Polarization set the polarization of converter. Polarization can be Horizontal or Vertical.
