A.2 Status Command (All)
This command returns the current status of the converter. The command is as follows:
@01/STATUS<cr>
A single converter will return the following string of information:
For Upconverter:
<cr><lf>

Channel: cc {cc = current channel number, 01 to 30}
Frequency: ffff.fff {ffff.fff = frequency in MHz}
Gain: sgg.g {s = ± and gg.g = gain in dB}
Input Atten: aa dB {aa = input attenuation}
RF: {Off/On}
Stored Faults: {None/Signal Fault/LO Fault/LO Fault, Signal Fault}
Reference: {Internal/External}
<cr><lf>
<cr><lf> {End of transmission}
