RF Power
Amplifier State
AMP= 1 byte Command or Query.
Sets or returns the RF power amplifier state in the form x, where:
0 = Off (Default value)
1 = On
Note: turning the amplifier off will disable the +10V supply, and mask it during fault checking.
Example: <1/AMP=1’cr’
>0001/AMP=’cr’’lf’
AMP=
AMP?
AMP*
AMP? AMP=x
(See Description of
Arguments)
Attenuation Offset AOF= 5 bytes Command or Query.
Sets or returns the attenuation offset level in the form xx.xx, where:
xx.xx = 00.00 to 20.00, in dB, in 0.25 dB steps as factory default.
Default value: 00.00
This value is not copied to the offline unit in a redundant system, but is added to the attenuation value upon a
switchover. This provides a unit-specific fine-tune to maintain power levels appropriately in a redundant system.
Example: <1/AOF=12.25’cr’
>0001/AOF=’cr’’lf’
AOF=
AOF?
AOF*
AOF? AOF=xx.xx
(See Description of
Arguments)
Attenuation ATT= 5 bytes Command or Query.
Sets or returns attenuation level in the form xx.xx, where:
xx.xx=00.00 to 20.00, in dB, in 0.25 dB steps as factory default.
Default value: 10.00
Example: <1/ATT=12.25’cr’
>0001/ATT=’cr’’lf’
ATT=
ATT?

ATT? ATT=xx.xx

Arguments)
Auxiliary Mute
Enable
AUX= 1 byte Command or Query.
Sets or returns the auxiliary mute mode in the form x, where:
0=Disabled (default value)
1=Enabled
Notes:
1. When AUX=1, the SPOD will be muted until Pin ‘S’ (on the ‘J6 | COM1’ Discrete Control Connector) is pulled to
ground. At that time, the unit unmutes.
2. Auxiliary mute is one of several hardware mute states that can cause a MUT=2 to be reported. See the MUT
command for more info on mute states.
3. Auxiliary mute overrides the user mute state so if the command MUT=1 is sent, then AUX=1 is sent, and the
user shorts Pin K to Pin S on the discrete control connector then the RF mute will be disabled (MUT=0).
Example (AUX Mute Enabled): AUX=1’cr’
AUX=
AUX?
AUX*
AUX? AUX=x
