(See Note 1)

Parameter 40 (p40): Interface buffer size.

p40 = nnnnnn, where “nnnnnn” is the currently programmed buffer size in bits.


Notes:

1. Available with buffer support hardware only.
2. Parameters 23, 24, and 25 are only returned when fast acquisition is enabled. See

the “FAM_” command definition.

B.2.8.18 Bulk Consolidated Analog Status

This command is similar to the “BCS_” command, but returns modem analog parameters.

Command:

Response:

>add/BCAS_p1,p2,p3, . . . pn”cr””lf”]

Where: “pn” is the last parameter returned.

Parameter 1 (p1): Receive signal level.

p1 = -nn, where “nn” is the value of the receive signal level in dBm.

Parameter 2 (p2): Raw BER.

p2 = nnnnE-4, where “nnnn” is the raw bit errors in 10000 bits.

Parameter 3 (p3): Corrected BER.

p3 = nE-e, where “n” is the mantissa, and “e” is exponent (power of 10).

Parameter 4 (p4): E

b

/N

.

p4 = n.n, where “n.n” is E

b

in dB.

(See Notes)

Parameter 5 (p5): Interface Buffer Fill Status.

p5 = nn, where “nn” is the fill status in percent.


Notes:

1. Parameters 1 through 5 are dependent on carrier acquisition. If the decoder is not

locked, empty data blocks are returned (,,,,,).

2. Available with buffer support hardware only.
