Testing lbw_gain and balancing

Goals

Vary input levels, vary lbw_gain and monitor measpwr and the appropriate scaled output values

Details

Steve has the system, so we have to work manually,using only VEGAS and the converter rack CLEO screens,

Bank D seems to have power going in to it, so use that - ADC J7 adcpwr1. Mode 9 -20dBm

2**27     134217728  -17   -30
2**27.5  189812531 -17    -27.5

lose IF input power to VEGAS at this point... then comes back again 2**27.5 189812531 -17 -46.5, and all values are 0 / 255. It is like the FPGA program is not updating these values.

I cannot find anyone to trouble-shoot this problem, so just give up at this point.
