Remote Control Operation SDM-650B Satellite Modem
B–62 Rev. 6
B.2.8.8 Bit Error Rate Status
B.2.8.8.1 Raw BER
Command:
Response: >add/RBER_nnnnE-4”cr””lf”]
Where:
nnnn = RBER.
nnnn = < 1.0 (lower limit).
Example: Request raw BER from modem 123.
Command: <123/RBER_”cr”
Response: >123/RBER_152E-4”cr””lf”]
Where: RBER = 0.0152 errors/bit.
Note: “No Data” is returned if no carrier is detected (decoder not locked).
B.2.8.8.2 Corrected BER
Command:
Response: >add/CBER_nE-m”cr””lf”]
Example: Request corrected BER from modem 19.
Command: <19/CBER_”cr”
Response: >19/CBER_2E-5”cr””lf”]
Where: CBER = 0.00002 errors/bit.
Notes:
1. Corrected BER limits are lower < 1E-8, upper > 1E-3.
2. “No Data” is returned if no carrier is detected (decoder not locked).
