Reference
Oscillator Tuning
REF= 3 bytes Command or Query.
Adjusts the reference oscillator tuning voltage by
sending a DAC value in the following format: REF=xxx,
where: xxx is a numeric value from 0 to 255, and the
default value is set to 87.
Example: <1/REF=087’cr’
>0001/REF=’cr’’lf’
Note: This command sets the DAC value, but the
actual Reference Oscillator tuning voltage can be
monitored using the RMS command.
Default Value: 087

N/A 22 bytes Query only.
The unit returns a string indicating the Model Number
and the version of the M&C firmware installed in the
unit.
Example: <1/RET?’cr’
>0001/RET=CPA-300 VER: 1.0.3’cr’’lf’
RET= RET? RET=x….x

RF Power FET
Current status
N/A variable length
depending on the
number of FETs
installed in the RF
amplifier
Query only.
Used to display all the FET currents.
Example: <1/RFS? ’cr’
>0001/RFS=’cr’
Q01=.xxx’cr’
Q02=.xxx’cr’
Q03=xx.x’cr’
Q04=xx.x’cr’
Q05=xx.x’cr’
Q06=xx.x’cr’
Q07=xx.x’cr’
Q08=xx.x’cr’
Q09=xx.x’cr’
Q10=xx.x’cr’
Q11=xx.x’cr’
Q12=xx.x’cr’
Q13=xx.x’cr’
Q14=xx.x’cr’
Q15=xx.x’cr’
Q16=xx.x’cr’’lf’
Note: If the value is one amp or greater the format is
xx.x, and if the value is less than one amp then the
format is .xxx
RFS= RFS? RFS=x….x
