Terminal Status

Change

N/A

1 byte

Query only.

Indicates if there has been a change in the configuration since the last time a command was issued, in the form

x, where:

0 = no status change

1 = there has been a status change.

A status change is defined as any time a parameter is changed, such as when command that changes a value is

successfully executed. A status change also results when there is a redundant switchover, or a fault condition.

A query does not set the status change flag. The status change flag is cleared after being read.

Example: <1/TSC?’cr’

>0001/TSC=0’cr’’lf’

TSC=

TSC?

TSC=x

XRM=

1 byte

numeric

Command or Query.

Sets or returns the external reference mute state in the form x, where:

0 = Disable

1 = Enable (see Note)

Note: To enable this command, the internal reference oscillator option must be installed; otherwise, a mode

error will result. A hardware mute condition generated by the XRM mute is one of the conditions that can cause

the MUT command to return MUT=2.

When enabled, the unit will mute if an external reference oscillator is not detected.

Example: <1/XRM=1’cr’

XRM=

XRM?

MSK*

XRM?

XRM=x
