xx=2 bytes,

numeric

Command or Query.
This command allows the user to set the alarm window in

±

% of the calibrated LNA/LNB bias Current. Valid inputs are
20 to 50 in increments of 1%. In addition, setting the value
to 99 disables the alarm function.

Default is disabled.

Example: LCW=230, set alarm window for the LNB bias tee
to

± 30%.

s=1 byte,

value of 1, 2

1=LNA A

2=LNB bias tee

x=1 byte,

Value of 0, 1

0 = Disable

1 = Enable

Command or Query.
Allows LNA/LNB Fault Logic to contribute to the summary
fault relay as follows:

Source Enable
1=LNA A (Aux Comm 1)

0 = Disabled

2=LNB bias tee

1 = Enabled


Example: LFL=21 would generate a fault if the measured
current for the bias tee varied from the calibrated operating
point stored by the CLC=2 command more the % allowed
by the LCW=2xx command

LFL= (message ok)
LFL? (received ok, but
