Chapter 8, Signaling Decoder Screen
Digital Paging Decoder
Data Display
This field displays up to three different decoded parameters after a message has
been analyzed:
Pager code - the unique pager code number or address.
Function - number representing one of the four types of signals that can be
sent.
Pager data - information sent as a numeric or alpha-numeric message. This
parameter is not displayed when tone-only formats are decoded.
Data Rate
This display field lists the data rate of the received signal in bits-per-second (bps).
Operating Considerations
This measurement relies on the digital paging encoder screen’s data rate setting.
Set the encoder’s Data Rate field to the expected incoming data rate for
accurate measurements.
