Number of
Unread stored
Events
N/A 3 bytes Query only.
Unit returns the Number of stored Events, which
remain Unread in the form of xxx.
Example: <1/NUE?’cr’
>0001/NUE=126’cr’’lf’
NUE= NUE? NUE=xxx
Number of
Unread stored
Statistics
N/A 3 bytes Query only.
Unit returns the Number of stored Statistics, which
remain Unread in the form of xxx.
Example: NUS=126
NUS= NUS? NUS=xxx
Online Status ONL= 1 byte Command or Query.
Online status (applies only to redundancy), where:
0 = Offline (Query only) (see Note)
1 = Online
The ONL query always returns an online response if the
unit is not running in redundant mode. If redundancy is
enabled then the query will indicate the position of the
Tx waveguide switch that enables one of the units to be
connected to the antenna.
Example: <1/ONL=1’cr’
>0001/ONL=’cr’’lf’
Note: sending ONL=0 will not generate a syntax error;
however setting ONL to zero will not cause the unit to go
offline. The online status is determined by the TX
waveguide redundant switch position, and only the
offline unit may drive the switches. Instead of sending
ONL=0 to the online unit the ONL=1 command should
be sent to the offline unit to generate a redundant
switchover.
ONL=
ONL?
ONL*
ONL? ONL=x
Part Number N/A Various 1-96
bytes
Query only.
Returns the Comtech EF Data part number of the unit.
This part number is the unit’s DOTCODE at the time it
was manufactured. The DOTCODE may be up to 96
printable ASCII characters long.
Example: <1/PNM?’cr’
>0001/PNM=HPODC0.350WRSW00’cr’’lf’
PNM= PNM? PNM=x….x
