Setting Slot Synchronization
The Slot Sync setting allows you to specify which slot is used for demodulation. The default is Auto.
If Option 235 - EDGE Analyzer is installed, both GMSK and 8PSK signals can be demodulated. If Option 235 - EDGE Analyzer is not installed, only GMSK signals can be demodulated.
The different slot synchronization settings available to you are:
Highest Pwr: The slot that is demodulated is the active slot with the highest power
Auto: The analyzer demodulates a randomly selected active slot.
GMSK: The analyzer demodulates a randomly selected active GMSK slot. This option is grayed out if Option 235 - EDGE Analyzer is not installed.
8PSK: The analyzer demodulates the randomly selected active 8PSK slot. This option is grayed out if Option 235 - EDGE Analyzer is not installed.
Specified TS# (w/ BCCH): The analyzer demodulates the specified TS# (Training Sequence number) if a BCCH (Broadcasting Control Channel) is detected. If Option 235 - EDGE Analyzer is not installed, only GMSK signals can be demodulated. For more details on TS#, refer to "Setting TS# (w/ BCCH)"
To Set the Slot Synchronization:
- If no BCCH is detected, Auto is used even though Specified TS# (w/ BCCH) is still selected.
- If you have Slot Sync set to Specified TS# (w/ BCCH), and no BCCH channel is found, the message "BCCH not found - using Auto Slot Sync" will be displayed.
