range of maximum or minimum acceptable power.
5. TEMP LED - Lights up when the laser temperature is abnormal.
6. BIAS LED – Illuminates when the biasing current of the LASER is abnormal.
7. HIGH LED - Lights up when the power of the input RF signal is above normal.
8. NORMAL LED - Illuminates when the power of the input RF signal is normal.
9. LOW LED - Lights up when the power of the input RF signal is below normal.
10. MGC (Manual Gain Control) Adjustment – For manually setting the
transmitter gain when the transmitter is in MGC mode.
11. AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Adjustment – For setting the output power of
the transmitter when the transmitter is in AGC mode.
