Query only.
Concise version of RFS.
Example: CFS=xx.x;xx.x;xx.x;xx.x;..........;xx.x;
Command or Query.
Used to identify or name the unit or station. First line is limited to 24 characters. Second line is also
limited to 24 characters. No carriage return between first line and second line.
Example: CID='cr'
--Earth Station 1—
---Converter #1----
Query only.
Query the Maintenance status of the unit in concise format. Response is semicolon delimited.
Example: <0001/CMS?
>0001/CMS=aa.a;bb.b;c.c;d.d;ee.e;ff.f;gg.g;hhh.h;iii.i;jjj.j;kkk.k;lll.l;mmm.m where,
aa.a = 28V Power Supply
bb.b = 15V Power Supply
c.c = 7.5V Power Supply
d.d = +5V Power Supply
ee.e = -5V Power Supply
ff.f = 9V or 10V RF Power Supply 1
gg.g = 9V or 10V RF Power Supply 2
hhh.h = Unit temperature 1 in deg. C
iii.i = Unit temperature 2 in deg. C
jjj.j = Isolator Load Temperature
kkk.k = Forward RF output power, in dBm
lll.l = Reverse RF output power, in dBm
mmm.m = Ref. Osc. Tuning voltage
If it is not applicable, it will display x.x
Command or Query.
A command in the form mmddyy, where; dd = day of the month, between 01 and 31, mm = month
of the year, between 01 and 12 and yy = year, between 00 and 99 (2000 to 2099)
Example (date = April 25, 2003): <0001/DAT=042503'cr'
>0001/DAT='cr''lf'
Command or Query.
A command in the form ddmmyy, where; dd = day of the month, between 01 and 31, mm = month
of the year, between 01 and 12 and yy = year, between 00 and 99 (2000 to 2099)
Example (date = April 25, 2003): <0001/DAY=250403'cr'
>0001/DAY='cr''lf'
