2. Data delimited by a comma (“,”) will be returned for all time intervals logged.

3. The optional data modifiers “>“ and “<“ are only present if the error rate

exceeds the computational resolution of the system.

Examples:

No Data - >add/CBEL_1.0”cr””lf”]
Momentary lock in 32 time intervals -

5.9 Eb/N0 Status

The Eb/N0 status command causes the Eb/N0 ratio to be returned. Eb/N0 is returned in
dB.

Command:

Response:

>add/EBN0_nn.ndB”cr””lf”]

Example: Request Eb/N0 ratio from modem 2.

Command:

<2/EBN0_”cr”

Response:

>2/EBN0_4.2dB”cr””lf”]

Nb/N0 = 4.2dB

Note: EB/N0 limits are; lower <3.2dB, upper >9.7dB (the upper limit is >16.0dB for the
949 decoder). "No Data" is returned if no carrier is detected (decoder not locked).

5.10 Modulator Rate Status

Command:

Response:

>add/MR_nnn_mmmm.m”cr””lf”]

nnn = 1/2,3/4,7/8 (Coder rate).
mmmm.m = 56.0 to 4080.0 (Data rate)

Note: The parameters nnn_mmmm.m may be replaced by N/A to indicate
no assignment.

5.11 Demodulator Rate Status

Command:

Response:

>add/DR_nnn_mmmm.m”cr””lf”]

nnn = 1/2,3/4, or 7/8 (Decoder rate).
mmmm.m = 56.0 to 4080.0 (Data rate)

Note: The parameters nnn_mmmm.m may be replaced by N/A to indicate no assignment.
