Response to
Query
Command or Query.
Sets or returns BUC fault-to-Tx fault disposition in the form x, where:
0 = Tx FLT status unaffected by BUC fault
1 = Attach a summary BUC fault to Tx FLT status
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the BUC Address, in the form xx, where:
xx = address from 01 to 15.
Example: <0/BAD=03
Command or Query.
Sets or returns communications, via the FSK link, with an externally connected
Block Up Converter (BUC) in the form x, where:
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
Example: <0/BCE=0 (Disabled)
Command or Query.
Sets or returns BUC High Current Limit, in mA, the form xxxx, where:
xxxx = value from 500 to 4000
Example: <0/BCH=3100
Command or Query.
Sets or returns BUC Low Current Limit, in mA, the form xxxx, where:
xxxx = value from 0 to 3000
Example: <0/BCL=0600
Query only.
Returns BUC Current, in mA, in the form xxxx, where:
xxxx = value from 0 to 9999
When unavailable, response is 0000.
Example: <0/BDC=3100
Query only.
