Description of Arguments

Command or Query.
Alarm mask conditions. If an alarm is masked, neither an alarm or a
fault is set, and the user will not know of a problem. Form of abcd,
where:
0 = Alarm, 1 = Fault, 2 = Masked
a = Low Forward RF Power
b = External Reference Lock detect
c = Converter A Not Inserted
d = Converter B Not Inserted
Default value: 2200.
There could be a variable delay in the time it takes for the internal
reference to lock to an external reference, due warm-up
characteristics and frequency differences between the references.
Therefore, the default setting is "masked" for the reference lock
detect. This setting may be changed if the customer so desires.
The delay should be less than 1 s after 30 minutes of warm-up
time.
