Response to Query

Rx FEC Code

Rate

RCR=

1 byte, value of

0 thru D

Command or Query.
Rx FEC Code Rate, where:

0 = 1/1 (Uncoded)

1 = 1/2

2 = 3/4

3 = 7/8

4 = 2/3

5 = 5/6

6 = 21/44

7 = 5/16

8 = 17/18

9 = Reserved

A = Reserved

B = .547

C = .456

D = .382

Depending on FEC type, not all selections will be valid.
Example: RCR=1 (selects Rate 1/2)

RCR?

RCR=x

(see Description

of Arguments)

Rx Data Rate

RDR=

10 bytes

Command or Query.
Rx Data rate, in kbps, in the form xxxxxx.xxx.
Resolution = 1 bps.
Example: RDR=002047.999 (selects 2047.999 kbps)

N/A

RDR?

RDR=xxxxxx.xxx

(see Description

of Arguments)

Rx BERT BER

N/A

6 bytes

Query only.
Unit returns the value of the BERT BER in the form a.b x 10

-c

, where:

First three bytes are the value;

Last two bytes are the exponent.

Returns 0.0E00 if the BERT is not synchronized to a pattern.
Example: BBR=4.9E12

N/A

BBR?

BBR=a.bEcc

(see Description

of Arguments)

Rx BER

N/A

6 bytes

Query only.
Unit returns the value of the estimated corrected BER in the form a.b x 10

-cc

. First

three bytes are the value. Last two bytes are the exponent. Returns 99999 if the

demodulator is unlocked.
Example: BER=4.8E03 (selects BER = 4.8 x 10

-3

)

N/A

BER?

BER=a.bEcc

(see Description

of Arguments)

Rx BERT Reset BRS=
