Response to Query

Rx Signal
Level

N/A

3 bytes

Query only.
Unit returns the value of the Rx signal level, in dBm, between +3.0
and –99.0 dBm, where;
xxx is the Rx signal level.

Examples:

RSL=+03
RSL=-41

N/A

RSL?

RSL=xxx

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=sxx.x

Buffer Fill
State

N/A

3 bytes

Query only.
s=Defines which interface slot ( 1 or 2 )
c=Defines which channel ( 1 to 2 )
xx = value of the buffer fill state, between 1 to 99%. Returns 00 if
demodulator is unlocked.

Note: Command not valid for GbEI.

Example: BFS=1133 (which is 33%, on interface slot 1 channel 1)

N/A

BFS?sc

BFS=scxx

Rx BER

N/A

8 bytes

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

-c

. First three bytes are the value. Last two bytes are the

exponent. Returns 0.0E+00 if the demodulator is unlocked.

Example: BER=4.8E-03 (which is BER = 4.8 x 10

-3

)

N/A

BER?

BER=a.bEscc
