Unit Alarm Mask
MSK=
MSK?
5 bytes
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the alarm mask conditions in the form abcde where:
a=Low Forward RF Power
b=External Reference Lock detect
c=Fan Speed
d=LNB Current Detect
e=LNB 22V Power Supply
TYPICAL FOR EACH PARAMETER: 0=Fault, 1=Alarm, 2=Masked
NOTES:
1) Default value: 22111
2) If the value is set to ‘Fault’ (MSK=0) for a parameter, then the fault condition
will be logged as a fault if specified hardware conditions are not met.
3) If the mask value is set to ‘Alarm’ (MSK=1), then the fault condition will only
log as an alarm.
4) If the mask value is set to ‘Masked’ (MSK=2), then the fault condition will
not be reported to the user.
COMMAND EXAMPLE: <0001/MSK=22111{CR}
MSK=
MSK?
MSK*
MSK=abcd
e
Mute State
MUT=
MUT?
1 byte
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the unit muting in the form x, where:
0=Disable (Not Muted)
1=Enable (Muted) (DEFAULT)
2=Unit muted due to HW mute signal (SEE NOTE)
NOTE: This value is only shown in the response to a query, and cannot be issued
as a command. When MUT=2 this means that one of the “hardware” mute
conditions is present. Additionally, certain faults can generate a hardware mute,
e.g., BUC Lock Detect. If MUT=2, you must check the active faults and the status
of the auxiliary mute.
COMMAND EXAMPLE: <0001/MUT=1{CR}
MUT=
MUT?
MUT*
MUT=x
Number of

Events
N/A
NUE?
3 bytes
Query only.
Unit returns the Number of Unread stored Events in the form xxx.
EXAMPLE: <0001/NUE?{CR}
>0001/NUE=126{CR}{LF}
