SFC1800A Synthesized Frequency Upconverter Appendix A
TM111 – Rev. 1.0 A -1
Remote Operations
A
When new features are added to Radyne, Inc. equipment, the control
parameters are appended to the end of the Non-Volatile Section of the
Remote Communications Specification, and status of the features, if any,
are added at the end of the Volatile Section. If a remote M&C queries two
pieces of Radyne, Inc. equipment with different revision software, they
could respond with two different sized packets. The remote M&C MUST
make use of the non-volatile count value to index to the start of the Volatile
Section. If the remote M&C is not aware of the newly added features to the
product, it should disregard the parameters at the end of the Non-Volatile
Section and index to the start of the Volatile Section.
Before creating any software based on the information contained in this
document, contact the Radyne, Inc. Customer Service Department (602-
437-9620) to find out if the software revision for that piece of equipment is
current and that no new features have been added since the release of this
document.
