Recent versions of the VXG signal generator driver introduce updates to the temperature stabilization indicator. Here is how the temperature stabilizing status works now:
NEW. Only specific modules are considered when determining whether or not the system has stable temperatures. Those modules are determined by examining which modules the internal alignments require to be in a stable state.
The specific modules being monitored are: M9312B, M9314B, M9323A, M9347A
NEW. While in an unstable condition, the driver polls the temperatures of those modules every two minutes. The system will only move to a stable state if it finds that the temperatures are not moving by more than 1° C over the course of six minutes.
While in an unstable condition, alignments are not recommended.
NEW. While in a stable condition, the driver polls the temperatures of those modules every five minutes. The system will only move to an unstable state if it finds that the temperatures move by 5° C or more.
While in a stable condition, the driver periodically checks if alignments are recommended and alerts you, if necessary.
When the driver is closed, the most-recent temperature data is saved to the hard drive. The next time the driver opens, that temperature data is loaded and analyzed. If the previous driver session had stable temperatures and was closed within the last 30 minutes, the previous session’s temperature data and the system’s current temperatures will be used to determine the stability of the system at bootup.
