RX Signal Level N/A 4 bytes
Query Only
Unit returns the value of the RX signal Level, in dBm,
between –20 and –99 dBm, in the form: ccxx, where:
Cc=code
GT=Greater Than
LT=Less Than
= is equal to
xx=value (the ‘-‘ sign is implied)
Example:
RSL=LT99 (RX signal level is less than –99 dBm)
RSL===41 (RX signal level is equal to –41 dBm)
N/A RSL? RSL=ccxx
(see description of
arguments)
RX BER N/A 5 bytes Query only
Unit returns the value of the estimated corrected BER in
the form a.b x 10
-c
. First 3 bytes are the value. Last 2
bytes are the exponent. Returns 99999 if the
demodulator is unlocked.
Example: BER=4.8E3 (BER = 4.8 x 10
-3
)
N/A BER? BER=a.bEc
(see description of
arguments)
CnC Ratio
Monitor
N/A 4 bytes Query only
When CnC is enabled and it’s locked, it monitors the ratio
between the interferer and the desired power in dB.
Example 1: CRM==+02 (interferer > desired)
Example 2: CRM=LT10 (less than –11 dB)
Example 3: CRM=GT10(greater than +11 dB)
Example 4: CRM=99.9 (not locked or CnC not enabled)
N/A CRM? CRM=xxxx
(see description of
arguments)
CnC Delay
Monitor
N/A 7 bytes Query only
When CnC is enabled and it’s locked, it monitors the
delay of the interferer in microseconds.
Example 1: CDM=229,500 (229.5 ms)
Example 2: CDM=999,999 (not locked or CnC not
enabled)
N/A CDM? CDM=xxx.xxx
(see description of
arguments)
