DGS in Phased Array Mode

9.4 Gain Control and Display

In typical use, the gain window resembles Figure 83 below, depending on the gain adjust mode selected.

For beams that have no DGS curve calculated, the gain window will appear shown in Figure 2 above.

While DGS is ON, the gain window display (shown in Figure 84 below) will be active when a beam is selected where
a DGS curve has been calculated.

The font size will shrink to include the necessary information in the window. The gain displayed in upper-left position
is total test gain (sum of digital and analog) that would put DGS curve peak to 80% SH for the selected beam.

Evaluation gain delta, in the upper-right position, is equal to the current total gain (digital and analog) — total test gain
for the selected beam. When the Phasor XS applies transfer correction, the evaluation gain delta will be displayed in
RED, or another contrasting color based on the color scheme, to draw attention to the fact that transfer correction is
active. The presence of transfer correction limits gain controls.
