Command Set - JFW 50MS-192 Operating Manual

The command set for both RS-232 and Ethernet is as follows:
Set Attenuator
Syntax: SAx y <CR>
x = attenuator number to control
y = attenuation value to set the attenuator to
<CR> = carriage return
Description: This command sets attenuator "x" to "y" attenuation in dB.
Examples: SA1 0 <CR>
SA2 63 <CR>
SA3 7 <CR>
Notes: There must be a space between the "x" and "y".
There must NOT be a space between the "SA" and the "x".
"x" must be 1 (because there is only one programmable attenuator in this system).
"y" must be between 0 and 63 (attenuation range is 0-63dB x 1dB).
Command is not case sensitive, but must be terminated by a carriage return.
Read Attenuator
Syntax: RAx <CR>
x = attenuator number to query
<CR> = carriage return
<LF> = line feed
Description: This command returns the attenuation setting for attenuator "x".
Examples: SA1 22 <CR>
RA1 <CR>
SA2 9 <CR>
RA2 <CR>
SA3 0 <CR>
RA3 <CR>
Notes: There must NOT be a space between the "RA" and the "x".
"x" must be 1 (because there is only one programmable attenuator in this system).
Command is not case sensitive, but must be terminated by a carriage return
