Query only.
Returns the power values of installed FETs, comma-delimited, in concise format.
NOTE: This is the condensed version of the RFS query.
EXAMPLE: <0001/CFS?{CR}
>0001/CFS=xxx,xxx,x.x,x.x,……….,x.x,{CR}{LF}

Command or Query.
Sets or returns the user-defined label for the unit or station.
NOTE: The 48-character string is entered as one line, but it is read back from the
unit as two 24-byte lines of information.
Default Setting: ------CID MESSAGE-------

none
Command or Query.
Sets or returns, as a reference point, the value of the LNB Current Supply (in mA) in
the form xxx.x.
Default value: 000.0
NOTES:
1) This command returns a mode error if the LNB current source output has
not been enabled first (see LCS command).
2) The LNB current alarm point is then determined by the calibrated LNB
reference point, and the LNB current window setting (see LCW command).
3) The CLC query returns the value that was stored during the LNB current
calibration.
COMMAND EXAMPLE: <1/CLC=xxx.x{CR} (where xxx.x is the calibrated LNB
current value in mA)
QUERY EXAMPLE: <1/CLC?{CR}
>0001/CLC=xxx.x{CR}{LF}
