Remote control 14-13
SCFE n, name This setting command is used for saving the conversion factor (made by SCFW).
The command is made of the string:
• FCE (the command itself),
• n which is the index:
o From 1 to 4 saves into permanent memory
o 0 uses the factor temporarily
• name which is a string representing the name of it
This command is intended for creating a conversion factor into PMM9010. For
further information see command SCFW.
When the command is received the conversion factor is checked and, if data
(frequency and level) are coherent, the command is granted by replying SCFW
=OK otherwise the replay is SCFW =SERR
Example: #SCFE 2,Probe* checks the data previously loaded by SCFW
commands, names it as “Probe” and saves it as #2.
SCFW n, freq; lev
This setting command is used for creating a conversion factor frequency by
frequency. It consists of three fields as follows:
• n Is the index of frequency being written and it should range from 0 to 499
• freq Is the frequency, expressed in Hz (exponential notation allowed),
being written
• lev Is the level of the limit and is expressed in dB
The procedure to creating a conversion factor on PMM9010 is the following:
• Send as many commands as the frequency points of limit are in upwards
order.
• Terminate (and make it active) by sending the command SFCE
Here is an example how to make a custom limit on PMM9010:
• #SFCW 0, 150e3; -1 * Send the first line 150kHz -1 dB
• # SFCW 1, 500e3; 0 * Send the second line 500kHz 0 dB
• # SFCW 2, 5e6; 1.2 * Send the third line 5MHz +2 dB
• # SFCW 3, 50e6; 1.1 * Send the fourth line 50MHz +1.1 dB
• # SFCW 4, 300e6; 1 * Send the fifth line 300MHz +1 dB
• #SCFE 2,Probe* Save it permanently as #2 into 9010 and name it as
“PROBE”
Note that all the higher indexes in the conversion factor are cleared. Therefore, a
conversion factor must be made upwards otherwise all points, having a higher
index previously written, are cleared.
It is responsibility of the user to make sure the data sent are correct and
coherent.
The reply is SCFW =OK which acknowledges the command has been granted or
LCFW =SERR if the command has been ignored.
