Pointer
IEP= None Command only.
Resets internal pointer to allow RNE? queries to start at
the beginning of the stored events log.

N/A N/A
Rx Eb/No N/A 4 bytes Query only.
Unit returns the value of Eb/No, between 0 to 16 dB.
Resolution 0.1 dB.
Returns 99.9 if demod is unlocked.
Returns +016 for values greater than 16.0 dB.
Example EBN=12.3 (which is Eb/No = 12.3 dB)
N/A EBN? EBN=xxxx
(see description of
arguments)
Rx Signal
Level
N/A 5 bytes Query Only.
Unit returns the value of the Rx signal level, in dBm,
between –20 and –60 dBm.
If >-20dBm, returns RSL=GT-20 (GT means ‘greater
than’)
If in the range of –20 to –60dBm, returns RSL===-xx
If <-60 dBm, returns RSL=LT-60 (LT means ‘less
than’)
Example: RSL=== -45 (which is –45 dBm)
N/A RSL? RSL=xxxxx
(see description
of arguments)
Rx Frequency
Offset
N/A 5 bytes Query only.
Unit returns the value of the measured frequency offset
of the carrier being demodulated.
Values range from ± 0 to ± 30 kHz, 100 Hz resolution.
Returns 99999 if the demodulator is unlocked.
Example: RFO=+02.3 (which is + 2.3 kHz)
N/A RFO? RFO=xxxxx
(see description
of arguments)
Buffer Fill
State
N/A 2 bytes Query only.
Unit returns the value of the buffer fill state, between 1
and 99%. Returns 00 if demodulator is unlocked.
Example: BFS=33 (which is 33%)
N/A BFS? BFS=xx
