Concise
Configuration
Status
N/A 26 bytes Query only.
Used to query the configuration status of the unit. This
is the concise version of the RCS command.
Example:
CCS=aa.aa;b;c;d;e;ff.ff;g;hhh; ’cr’’lf’
Where:
aa.aa = attenuation in dB (ATT)
b = RF power amplifier state, 0 = Off, 1 = On (AMP)
c = mute state, 0 = un-muted, 1 = muted (MUT)
d = online status (ONL)
e = redundancy state and mode (ESW)
ff.ff = Attenuator offset in dB (AOF)
g = auto fault recovery mode (AFR)
hhh = External reference status, N/A = no external
reference, 05M for 5 MHz, and 10M for a 10 MHz (See
Note)
Note: hhh will always be N/A if the internal reference
oscillator option is not installed.
CCS= CCS? CCS=x….x
(See Description
of Arguments for
details)
Concise RF
Power FET
Current Status
N/A Variable length
depending on the
number of FETs
installed in the
amplifier
Query only
Concise version of RFS.
Example: CFS=xxx,xxx,x.x,x.x,……….,x.x,
CFS= CFS? CFS=x…..x
(See description
of RFS. Note that
each argument is
separated by a
comma.)
Circuit
Identification
CID= 48 bytes
Command or Query.
CID is a user-defined string of data that may be used
to identify or name the unit or station. The CID is a 48-
byte field of data that is entered as one line, but it will
be read back from the unit as two 24-byte lines of data.
Examples:
<1/CID= Station #001--SSPA #01--’cr’
>0001/CID=
<1/CID?’cr’
>0001/CID=’cr’
Station #001’cr’
--SSPA #01--’cr’’lf’
Default Value: ------------------------
CID=
CID?
CID*
CID? CID=x…x
(See Description
of Arguments for
