Calibrate LNB

Current

CLC=

none

Command or Query.

Sets or returns, as a reference point, the value of the LNB Current Supply (in mA) in the form xxx.x.

Default value: 000.0

The LNB current alarm point is then determined by the calibrated LNB reference point, and the LNB current window

setting (see LCW command).

Note: this command will return a mode error if the LNB current source output has not been enabled first (see

LCS command).

Example: <1/CLC=’cr’

>0001/CLC=’cr’’lf’

The CLC query will return the value that was stored during the LNB current calibration.

Example: <1/CLC?’cr’

>0001/CLC=xxx.x where xxx.x is the calibrated LNB current value in mA.

Returns the Maintenance status of the unit, response is semicolon delimited, in the form aaaa;bbbbb;ccc where:

aaaa = Remote Unit Address

bbbbb = Remote Baud Rate

ccc = Reference oscillator tuning voltage DAC value (see Note)

Note: ccc is only present if a reference oscillator is installed.

Example:

<1/CUS?’cr’

>0001/CUS=aaaa;bbbbb;ccc;’cr’’lf’
