Auto Fault
Recovery
AFR= 1 byte Command or Query.
Sets or returns auto fault recovery in the form x, where:
0=Disabled
1=Enabled (Default value)
If auto fault recovery is enabled, it will cause the output return to its pre-fault mute condition if all faults are
cleared. If disabled, the output will remain muted even if all faults are cleared. The LPOD output will
automatically be muted if one of the following fault conditions occurs:
• BUC lock detect fault
• LNB current fault (see Note)
• LNB voltage fault (see Note).
Note: These faults can be user defined as faults, alarms, or masked (see MSK command for more info).
Example: <1/AFR=1’cr’
>0001/AFR=’cr’’lf’

AFR?
AFR*
AFR? AFR=x

Arguments)
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
