Safety Precautions
The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to any specific
part or procedure, and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this publication. These precautions must be thoroughly understood and apply to all phases of operation and maintenance.
WARNING
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating Personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do not
replace components or make adjustments to the inside of the test equipment with the
high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove power.
WARNING
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line while RF power is present.
Capacitors can store a dangerous electrical charge. Avoid contact with all system
capacitors. If it is necessary to perform work near a system capacitor, be sure to discharge
the capacitor through a low resistance.
WARNING
Do Not Service Or Adjust Alone
Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure for the purpose of
service or adjustment of equipment except in the presence of someone who is capable
of rendering aid.
WARNING
Safety Earth Ground
An uniterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied from the main power source to
test instruments. Grounding one conductor of a two conductor power cable is not
sufficient protection. Serious injury or death can occur if this grounding is not properly
supplied.
WARNING
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern methods
of resuscitation.
WARNING
Remove Power
Observe general safety precautions. Do not open the instrument with the power on.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Bird Diagnostic System (BDS)
The Bird Diagnostic System (BDS) is a broadband (1 MHz to 500 MHz) RF monitoring and diagnostic system designed
to be used in a 50 or non-50 ohm environment. It is comprised of three components:
• In-line RF sensor
• A receiver that processes the real-time sensor data
• A cable that connects the sensor to the receiver
The sensor, which consists of passive, temperature stable components, is inserted into an RF delivery system where
it couples voltage and current signals and sends that data to the receiver through the cable assembly. The receiver
converts the incoming analog signal to digital data and then processes the data and makes it available to the communication port. The user’s system communicates with the receiver through the communication port.
There are two modes of operation:
• Standard Tracking Mode
• Spectral Search (Sweep) Mode
In both operating modes, there are two data monitoring modes:
• Low resolution data monitoring (8 bit ADC)
• High resolution data monitoring (12 bit ADC)
The BDS also has the capability to locate arc transients. These operating modes are explained in the following sections.
Standard Tracking Mode
In the Standard Tracking mode, the BDS collects voltage and current information for user specified fundamental frequencies. Up to five fundamental frequencies can be specified to monitor. For each fundamental frequency, up to 15
harmonic frequencies can also be monitored (in addition to the fundamental) and a subset of up to 6 mixing products can also be monitored. The BDS reports voltage amplitude, current amplitude, and phase information as a data
set for each specified fundamental frequency.
Example - Select 2 MHz as the first fundamental frequency (F1) and 13.56 MHz as the second fundamental frequency (F2), and specify two harmonics for F1 (H1 and H2) and one harmonic for F2 (H1), the results
would be grouped as a set for each fundamental frequency as shown in the following table (note that H0 is
the same as the fundamental frequency and that N represents the N

Spectral Search (Sweep) Operating Mode
The Spectral Search (Sweep) Mode is used to get an overall view of the spectral components in a given frequency band. It
sweeps across a frequency band, from start to stop frequency, displaying the amplitude at each frequency step.
The user defines the frequency band by entering a start frequency, a stop frequency, and a step increment. The BDS
produces power spectral density information for each detected frequency in the band in accordance with the step
increment value (Fig. 1).
Figure 1 Spectral Search (Sweep) Operating Mode
Arc Detection
The BDS has the ability to locate and report arc/transient events. The user can define the parameters of what a transient
may look like in their system, specifying arc length, and impulse change in dB. This feature is available in both Standard
Tracking and Spectral Search modes and in both 12-bit and 8-bit resolution.

BDS Sensors
The BDS requires a non-intrusive passive RF sensor. The sensor is purchased separately based upon the specifications of the end user’s requirements.

Theory of Operation
The Bird Diagnostic System (BDS) is a real-time RF measurement system that consists of a sensor, a sensor cable, and a
receiver. The sensor is mounted in the host system’s RF delivery system where it simultaneously measures voltage and
current (both magnitude and phase of each) and sends the data to the receiver. Each component of the BDS (sensor,
sensor cable, receiver) is calibrated separately and contains its own calibration constants which permits interchangeability without recalibration. A sensor, sensor cable, or receiver can be replaced with minimal loss of accuracy.
The receiver processes the sensor data and makes it available to the communication ports. The receiver consists of RF input
conditioning circuits, A/D converters, a high-speed signal processor, and input / output connectors (Figure 3, page 3).
The A/D converters convert the analog RF signal to digital information for processing; the high-speed signal processor converts the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain while maintaining the correct phase relationship of each harmonic to its fundamental frequency.
The output of the BDS contains information about the RF including up to five fundamental frequencies (amplitude of
both voltage and current and their phase for each fundamental frequency) and up to 15 overtones for each fundamental frequency (amplitude of both voltage and current and their phase for each harmonic, and also the phase relationship of each harmonic to the voltage component of its specific fundamental frequency). With this data set (voltage,
current, and phase), power ( ) and impedance ( ) can be determined for each fundamental and harmonic frequency.
Users can choose number of fundamental frequencies (up to five) and associated harmonics (up to 15 for each fundamental frequency) that are acquired and processed. Choosing a small number of fundamental and harmonic frequencies reduces the computing time and, therefore, provides output data faster than choosing a larger number of
fundamental and harmonic frequencies. See “Frequency Tracking” on page 40.
The host system can communicate with the BDS receiver through any of the methods outlined in Communication
Options, page 3.

Installing the Receiver
The receiver has cooling fans inside and air vents on both ends of the case. For proper operation, be sure to install
the receiver in a location that permits free air flow around and through the unit (Figure 1).
Place the receiver in a suitable location within the length of the cables from the sensor. The receiver can be installed
free standing or secured in place using the six mounting holes in the bottom of the case. To secure the receiver in
place, first remove the four rubber feet then secure the unit using 6-32 screws that will not extend inside the
receiver case more than one inch (1.0 in or 25.4 mm). (Figure 2).
The BDS receiver requires an external +24 V DC power source for operation. The operating voltage is supplied
through the Power In +24V connector located on the reat side of the reciever.

Chapter 3 Operating Instructions
Overview
The BDS GUI is used to configure the BDS receiver and obtain measurement data from the system. There are two
modes of operation: Standard Tracking and Spectral Search. In addition, the BDS provides arc/transient detection
capability that is available in both operating modes.
There are two sampling resolutions for all modes: 8-bit, 1G sample/second, and 12-bit, 200M sample/second.
• The 12-bit sampling mode allows for a 1-100 MHz tracking range with a wider dynamic range, higher accu-
racy, and better repeatability than the 8-bit mode.
• The 8-bit mode allows for a wider tracking range of 1-500MHz at the expense of narrower dynamic range
and less repeatability as compared to 12-bit mode.
The BDS accurately measures voltage (V), current (I) and phase (P) in both Standard Tracking and Spectral Search operating
modes. The BDS GUI uses these three basic parameters to derive other quantities such as power and impedance.

These instructions cover connecting to the receiver using a direct PC-to-receiver Ethernet connection on port 1 (left port).
1. Connect an Ethernet cable connected from the PC to port 1 on receiver.
Note: It does not have to be a crossover cable, the BDS will auto-negotiate the
hardware.
2. Apply power to the BDS receiver.
3. Confirm that the yellow LED (the one on right) of port 1 is illuminated.
4. Wait for the BDS to finish booting.
Note: The four status LED’s on the front panel will all turn green when the BDS
is ready (GGGG).
Note: If there is not a probe connected, the following pattern will be displayed:
GGGY. Any other pattern indicates a possible system failure. See “Status LEDs”
on page 13 for more information.
5. Using the BDS GUI, Select “Connection->New…” from the main menu.
6. Enter the following IP address of port 1 in the “Address:” field: 192.168.0.151

Scan Mode Options
Standard Tracking Mode Options
Frequency Selection
The Frequency Selection page is used to define a set of frequencies for the BDS to monitor while in Frequency Tracking Mode.
Note: All options including harmonic and intermod selection, tolerance, filter width, and tracking quality,
apply to a fundamental frequency.
Figure 12 Frequency Selection Dialog
Resolution - This field is always set to use “Auto”. Auto mode will automatically decide which converter to use
based on the selected frequency list.
• The 12-bit converter is used if all frequencies in the list are less than 100 MHz.
• The 8-bit converter is used if all frequencies in the list are greater than 100 MHz.
• A switching algorithm is used for a frequencies list that contains frequencies ranging from 1-500 MHz.
Fundamental - Enter a custom generator frequency or select from the list of generator frequencies commonly
used in the semiconductor industry.
Note: Select all other options for the fundamental before adding it to the list of selected frequencies.
Options include harmonic selection, intermod selection, and tolerance settings.
F2 Frequency - Select another fundamental from the list to use as the “F2” frequency in an intermodulation prod-
uct.
Note: The F2 frequency must have already been added to the selected frequencies list.
Note: An intermod is combination of two frequencies in the form: IMD = F1+nF2, where n is one of {-3,-2,-
1,1,2,3}.
Intermod - Select the number of intermodulation products reported for the fundamental. Up to 6 IMD products can
be selected for a fundamental (3 pairs):
• F1 +1/-1 F2 (2 IMD products).
• F1 +2/-2 F2 (4 IMD products).
• F1 +3/-3 F2 (6 IMD products).
27
Toler a n ce - The Tolerance field defines the tracking filter window as a percentage from the center of the funda-
mental frequency. This gives the frequency range of a generator for a frequency.
Example - For a 2 MHz generator that moves from 1.8 to 2.2 MHz, you would enter a tolerance of at least 10%. The input value range for this field is 0.1 to 20%. The maximum tolerance for a frequency is limited based on the following formula: 5/frequency in MHz * 100.
Filter Width & Track Quality - These are advanced parameters used to fine-tune the frequency tracking algorithm.
Note: It is recommended that these settings are kept at their default values of 0.1 and 0.01%, respectively.
Filter Width is used to widen or narrow the filters used to determine frequency lock.
Note: Filter Width ranges from 0.01 to 2.56%.
Note: Defaults for Filter Width: 0.1%.
Track Quality is used to adjust lock speed at the expense of accuracy. The higher the value, the lower the quality and
the lower the frequency accuracy.
Note: Track Quality ranges in value from 0.01 to 0.256%.
Note: Default for Track Quality: 0.01%.
Selected Frequencies - Displays all frequencies that have been added to the measurement configuration. Fre-
quencies are listed in MHz. Column headers (from left to right):
• Fundamental in MHz
• Harmonic (overtone) number (0-15)
• Intermod number (-3 to 3, 0 means no IMD)
• Frequency in MHz.
Clicking on a fundamental in the list will highlight all frequencies for the fundamental.
Note: Harmonics or IMD frequencies can be clicked on individually.
Note: Clicking the “<< Remove” button will remove the highlighted frequencies from the list.
Analog I/O

Pin 9 - 15 GND
Enable Analog I/O - Enables/Disables analog I/O.
DAC Channel - Selects the DAC channel to configure and enable. All settings listed on the page pertain to the
selected DAC. There are 5 DAC channels, labeled “DAC0” – “DAC4”.
Equation - Allows a user to enter an equation that is processed by the receiver. The equation can be as basic as a
voltage output or as complex as the functions and controls allow. Measurement results can be included in the equation, as well as the readings from ADC0 & 1.
Note: The result of the equation is scaled according to the minimum and maximum value and voltage settings. The DAC is programmed with the resulting voltage level.
Note: Update rate of the analog I/O is based on the measurement cfg (frequency selector). The DACs are
updated after a measurement set is available and the result of the equation is ready.
Averaging
The BDS offers two types of data averaging for Standard Tracking Mode: Simple (Fixed) or Moving. Both averaging
modes will reduce signal-to-noise ratio in a measurement. Averaging is performed in the receiver.
Figure 14 Averaging Dialog
29
A simple average will take a number of measurements and then compute and report the average value after the
number of measurements has been sampled. This averaging mode will increase the data update rate by the number
of averages requested.
Example - If the data update rate for 1 measurement dataset is 10ms, then it will take
about 40ms to average 4 measurements and produce the result. A user can average up to 16
measurements using Simple averaging.
The Moving average mode averages data over time using a sliding filter window. The average window size is specified as a power of 2 ranging from 2 to 128 measurements.
The difference between Moving and Simple averaging is that the moving average doesn’t wait for the buffer to fill
before computing a result, it simply adds a new measurement to the buffer and computes and reports the result. It
removes the oldest measurement if the buffer is full before adding the new measurement. This provides little impact
the data update rate, depending on the measurement set.
The “V/I Noise Threshold” parameter is used to determine when to clear the filter buffer – when the signal (voltage
or current) exceeds this threshold the buffer is cleared to provide a fast response to the measurement system.
De-embedding
De-embedding is used to mathematically rotate the measurement plane from the center of the BDS probe toward
either the load or the signal source. In doing so, it adjust measurements made by BDS probe in order to get a reading
at a different segment of a line section.
Figure 15 De-embedding Dialog
The de-embedding algorithm accounts for losses in the RF delivery system.
The de-embedding options allow users flexibility to enter segment parameters in different formats to match segment spec or data sheets.
• Line section impedance is entered as either inductance and capacitance or Z0 in Ohms.
• Dielectric is entered as either propagation velocity as a fraction of the speed of speed of light or in Er.
• Loss can be entered as Ohms, dB, or Nepers.
30
Misc
Enable relative phase measurements (required for waveform reconstruction)
This option is used to enable relative phase calculations. Relative phase is the phase of a harmonic relative to its fundamental tone. It is required for waveform reconstruction.
Figure 16 Misc Dialog
Note: Relative phase calculations add significant processing time and will slow down the data update.
Enable Max AGC (for 8-bit mode only) - An advanced option used to lock the attenuators to the highest of the
voltage or current channel so that they are at the same level.
Free Run
Figure 17 Free Run Dialog
Use the Free Run scan mode to scan for data until the specified number of datasets have been collected or a timer
expires, whichever happens first.
If the “Continuous Scan” check box is checked, then data is scanned continuously and the timer is ignored. In Continuous Scan, when the indicated number of datasets has been collected, the oldest data will be discarded to make
room for new data.
Example - If the “No. Dataset” field is set to 2000 and “Continuous Scan” is checked; the
BDS GUI will continuously scan for fresh data. After 2000 datasets are captured; the oldest datasets are discarded to make room for new datasets.
31
Tri gge r
Figure 18 Free Run Dialog
Use the Trigger scan mode to wait for an event to occur before collecting data. Select the threshold unit(s) and levels. A trigger event will occur when any of the selected Voltage, Current, or Delivered Power thresholds are
detected. Pre- and post-event windows can be specified to include data that is captured before and after the trigger
event. The Trigger Capture Limits are included to limit the number of datasets acquired, similar to the Free Run limits.
Auto-Save
Figure 19 Auto-Save Dialog
The BDS GUI can be configured to automatically save data at the end of a data acquisition. The auto-save options
allows specifying the folder where the data is saved and also the file format to save it in. The file naming options are
used to produce consistent file names that have a unique timestamp and run number.
Note: File naming is required for auto-save.
32
Arc Detection
Arc Detection is used to identify and report transient events in an RF delivery system. The options available in the
“Arc Detection” page are used to specify an arc event and also instruct the BDS how to store the results.
Figure 20 Arc Detection Dialog
Enable Arc Detection- Turns on and off arc detection.
Sample Rate - Period used for peak/magnitude sampling (down-sampled from actual ADC rate).
Note: Range: 50ns to 4us. Default is 1us (1MHz).
Arc Length - Arc Length defines the maximum window that the trailing edge of an arc "pulse" must occur in. An
arc is detected if it has a pulse width less than or equal to the arc length.
Example - A 400us arc length will detect arcs with pulse widths of 400us, 300us, or less,
but not 401us or 500us. Range is 500ns to 2.044ms (depending on Sample Rate).
Note: Default is 400us.
Tri gge r Delay - The Trigger Delay parameter determines how the pre/post recording time is set. It is entered in
the BDS GUI as the percentage of the buffer to report after the falling edge of the arc event. The delay equates to a
time based on the sample period.
Example - For the 8-bit ADC with a sample rate of 1us and a Trigger Delay of 75% would
equal 3.072 ms worth of data post-trigger and 1.024 ms worth pre-trigger.
Min ADC Level - Min ADC Level specifies the minimum count level to accept an arc event. This is used to prevent
spurious arc events, especially events reported when measuring the noise floor. The value is entered as a percentage
of full-scale.
Note: Range is 0-100%. Default is 50%.
Note: At least 8% is recommended to avoid false positives while measuring the noise floor.
Power Threshold - The Power Threshold parameter is used to define the minimum pulse amplitude that must be
detected before reporting an arc event.
Note: Thresholds include: 6 dB, 4 dB, 2 dB, & 1 dB. Default is 6 dB.
Example - If the 6 dB level is selected, only pulses with amplitudes of 6 dB or greater over
the base signal are reported as arc events. A 4 dB pulse will not be reported when the 6 dB
level is selected.
Log data to BDS Receiver - This option will log the arc results data to the BDS receiver in non-volatile storage.
The “Arc Data Viewer” can be used to retrieve the data from the receiver after it has been collected.
Note: The “Arc Data Viewer” is launched from the main menu under “Tools-> Arc Data Viewer…”.
Log Data to PC Immediately - This will log the arc results data to a specified folder on your PC upon detection of
a transient event.
33
Spectral Search (Sweep) Mode Options
Sweep
The “Sweep” page provides options for defining the frequency band.
Figure 21 Arc Detection Dialog
Resolution - Select the sweep resolution as 8-bit or 12-bit.
• 8-bit resolution allows a sweep range of 10 kHz to 500 MHz.
• 12-bit resolution allows a sweep range of 10 kHz to 100 MHz.
Frequency Step Size - This allows for the selection of either a uniform step size where each step is the same or
scale that has the frequencies increasing exponentially. The “Exponentially increasing” option will provide higher
resolution (the steps are tighter) at the lower frequencies in the sweep. It is useful for better quality scans of the
lower frequencies.
No. Points - The number of points in the sweep can be specified and keep it fixed with the “Fixed” option.
• If “Fixed” is not checked, then the number of points will be automatically determined based on the start,
stop, & step.
• If “Fixed” is checked, then the number of points will remain the same, but the step will change to accom-
modate the sweep.
Start & Stop - Defines the frequency band to sweep over.
Step - The frequency used as the increment when sweeping from the start to the stop frequency.
Note: This is only used for a “Uniform” step size.
Filter Resolution - Filter Resolution allows control over the resolution of the DFT filters for a higher or lower reso-
lution picture.
Note: The value is entered as a frequency for uniform step size. It is entered as a percentage of the step for
an exponentially increasing step scale.
Continuous Sweep - Checking this checkbox will instruct the BDS to keep sweeping across the frequency band.
Note: This option is required to use sweep data averaging. Not checking this option will instruct the BDS to
stop sweeping once it completes a single band sweep.
34
Default Settings - Clicking this button will restore the default sweep settings.
• Resolution: 12-bit
• Frequency Step Size: Uniform
• No. Points: 2100 (Fixed)
• Start Frequency: 1 MHz
• Stop Frequency: 100 MHz
• Frequency Step: 47.165 kHz
• Filter resolution equals frequency step: Checked
• Continuous Sweep: Checked
Averaging
Controls the number of sweeps to average. Sweeps are averaged successively as they are made available, so the signal-to-noise ratio improves over time. Up to 100 sweeps can be averaged. Sweep data averaging is only available
when the “Continuous Sweep” option is checked.
Figure 22 Averaging Dialog
Smoothing
Enabling smoothing will filter out noise by averaging a specified number of neighboring points.
Figure 23 Smoothing Dialog
Smoothing Window Size - Determines how many points to average before and after a center point.
Smoothing Passes - Takes multiple passes thought the sweep data, applying the same smoothing filter on each pass.
Note: Smoothing can be used in combination with data averaging. In can also be used on a single sweep
(“Continuous Sweep” can be enabled or disabled) or even be changed while sweeping.
35

DeviceNet System Operation
MAC ID & Baud Rate Configuration
Three rotary switches are used to configure the MAC ID (Node Address) and Baud Rate (Data Rate) of the device. The
rotary switches are defined as follows:
Figure 1 MAC ID Rotary Switch Layout
51
Rotary switches S2 (MSD) and S3 (LSD) are used to select the DeviceNet MAC ID (Node Address). The valid range of
addresses is: 0-63. Switch combinations that produce an address greater than 63 will force the device into a “MAC ID
software configuration mode”. While in the “MAC ID software configuration mode” the device MAC ID will be set to
the last MAC ID that the device was powered up at and will allow software configuration tools to modify the value of
the MAC ID.
Figure 2 Baud Rate Rotary Switch Layout
The S1 rotary switch (DATA RATE) is used to select the DeviceNet baud rate. The following is a valid range of baud
rates:
• 0 – 125kbps
• 1 – 250kbps
• 2 – 500kbps
• 3 and above – “Baud Rate software configuration mode”
All values above 2 will force the device into a “Baud Rate configuration mode”. While in the “Baud Rate configuration mode” the device baud rate will be set to the last baud rate the device was powered up at and will allow software configuration tools to modify the value of the baud rate.
LED Operation
Two LED’s are provided on the front panel of the BDS: Network Status and Module Status. See the figure below.

DeviceNet Interface
Overview
DeviceNet™ is an open industrial network that is used to connect industrial I/O devices (such as sensors and limit
switches) to controllers (such as PLC’s). It is a digital, multi-drop network based on CAN (Controller Area Network)
and CIP™ (Common Industrial Protocol). DeviceNet is a very robust protocol designed to meet the strict reliability
and performance requirements of the industrial environment.
Configuration
The BDS supports the standard DeviceNet MAC ID (Node Address) and Baud Rate (Data Rate) selections. The MAC ID
and Baud Rate and be selected from the rotary switches on the front panel or through DeviceNet configuration software. See section 3.2 for details.
All configuration data is saved in non-volatile memory.

Assembly Sample Configuration and Byte Mapping
This is an example demonstrating how data is produced with the following Standard Mode object configuration.
2 Fundamental frequencies: 2MHz and 13.56MHz. 2MHz will look at 2 harmonics: 1 and 2, 13.56MHz will look at 1
harmonic: 2. No intermodualtion products are selected.
Standard Mode Object Configuration
Num Fundamentals (class attribute 103) = 2
Fundamental 1 = {2MHz, H0, H1, H2}
Fundamental 2 = {13.56MHz, H0, H2}
With the above configuration, Assembly instance 100 (64HEX) will produce a total of 5 measurements (125 bytes). This
data will have the following byte map:
