4036B Operations and Maintenance Manual Rev. E 15
This example shows that the system has no current alarms, output 1 alarmed since last status
request, and the input frequency is 5 MHz. With no input signal, all output status bits will report
0.
3.2.2 Checking Model Number and Software Version
Both commands are case sensitive. You do not need to type a carriage return or line feed.
To check the TSC model number:
Type: I
The system returns I4036B-00\r\n.
To check the software version
Type: V
The system returns Vxx\r\n where xx is the software version.
Example: V80.
Sending an I command will turn on the three front panel input LEDs for 2 seconds before
returning to normal operation. This provides the capability for the user to ensure they are
communicating over the Ethernet connection to the correct device via front panel feedback.
3.3 Understanding Alarm Output
The 4036B automatically publishes alarms to the CNR port as they occur.
The alarms appear in the format ALARMcccc where cccc is the summary status of the input and
output signals. The format of the alarm status is identical to the “S” command response for
current status.
Example: ALARM0008
This example shows that output 4 failed.
