Concise
Configuration
Status
N/A
26 bytes
Query only.
This is the concise version of the RCS query. Returns the configuration status of the unit, in the form
aa.aa;b;c;d;e;ff.ff;g;hhh, 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.
Example: CCS=aa.aa;b;c;d;e;ff.ff;g;hhh; ’cr’’lf’
CCS=
CCS?
CCS= aa.aa;b;c;d;e;
ff.ff;g;hhh

Arguments)
Concise RF Power
FET Current

Query only.
This is the concise version of the RFS query. Returns the RF Power FET Current status.
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.
Sets or returns a 48-byte user-defined string that identifies or names the unit or station. The CID is entered as
one line, but it reads back from the unit as two 24-byte lines of data.
Default value: ------------------------
Examples:
<1/CID= Station #001--SSPA #01--’cr’
>0001/CID=
<1/CID?’cr’
>0001/CID=’cr’
Station #001’cr’
--SSPA #01--’cr’’lf’
