The Fault Descriptors are defined in the following table.
DMD.A QPSK Demodulator A TDEM-6110
DMD.B QPSK Demodulator B TDEM-6110
DMD.C QPSK Demodulator C TDEM-6110
DMD.D QPSK Demodulator D TDEM-6110
UDA User Data A TMAC-6125
UDB User Data B TMAC-6125
VD Video Decoder TDEC-6100
HDVD High Definition Video Decoder TDEC-6161

If the TAUD-6100 is installed, it controls ADA through ADD and the TDEC-6100 controls ADE and ADF. If
the TAUD-6100 is
not
installed, the TDEC-6100 controls ADA and ADB.
