Fixture requirements:
1. Smart Carrier (RIK0014A or B).
2. Press in connector strips ( 16 pin ) installed at desired module locations ( M1 - M8 ).
3. Bench Top DC Voltage Requirements: +5V / -5V / +3.3V ( 3.3V only required if running LNA)

RF Attenuator Control Programming:
1. When writing to a Smart Carrier Cbit the format is of S#XXXX
S = S, # = Module number being written to, X = 1, X, or 0.
0 = closed (0V) and 1 = open (3.8V)
Bit position = S# DS1 DS2 DS3 DS4
