Arguments
for
Command or
Response to
Query
4 bytes Command or Query
BUC Low Current Limit, a value between 100 and 3000 mA
Example: BCL=0600
6 bytes Command or Query
BUC transmit LO frequency information in the form: xxxxxs, where :
xxxxx is the LO frequency in the range of 3000 to 65000 MHz
All 0's (000000) disables the feature
S is the sign for the mix (+ or – character)
Terminal Frequency= BUC LO TFQ
Example: BLO=12000+ (BUC LO is 12 GHz, low-side mix)
4 bytes Query only
BUC output power level in the form xxx, where xxx is the value in
watts.
Example: BOL=08.3 (BUC reports output is 8.3 watts)
Returns 00.0 when FSK and BUC power are not enabled.
4 bytes Query only
Indicates BUC temperature, in the form: sxxx
Where:
s=sign (+ or – character)
xx=value
If not available, response is –99
Example: BUT=-13 (BUC temperatures is -13°C)
Note: This query is only valid when the FSK and BUC power are turned On.
1 byte, value of Query only
0,1 BUC PLL lock state, where:
0=Unlocked
1=Locked
Example: BPA=1 (BUC PLL is locked)
Note: This query is only valid when the FSK and BUC power are turned On
3 bytes Query only
Indicates the BUC software version, in the form: x.x
Example: BSV=1.1 (Software version 1.1)
Note: This query is only valid when the FSK and BUC power are turned On
