Arguments for
Command or
Response to
Query
Query only.
xx = value of the buffer fill state, between 1 to 99%.
Returns 00 if demodulator is unlocked.
Example: BFS=33 (selects 33%)
Command only.
Forces the software to clear the software events log.
Note: This command takes no arguments
Example: CAE=
Command only.
Forces the software to clear the software statistics log.
Note: This command takes no arguments
Example: CAS=
Command or Query.
CnC Sweep Frequency range from 0 to 60.000 kHz
Example: CCF=60.000
Query only.
When CnC is enabled and locked, the delay of the interferer is readable in
microseconds.
Example 1: CDM=229500 (229.5 mSec)
Example 2: CDM=999999 (not locked or CnC not enabled)
Query only.
When CnC is enabled and locked, the estimated frequency offset between the
desired signal and the interferer is readable in kHz.
Example 1: CFM=+001.0 (1 kHz)
Example 2: CFM=9999.9 (not locked or CnC not enabled)
