Returns the summarized version of RCS.
Example for MBT-04000 base unit:
<0001/CCS?{cr}
>0001/CCS=aa,bb,cc,dd,e,ff,g,h{cr}{lf}
Where:
aa=Frequency band for Unit 1 BXC (‘C”, ‘X”, ‘Ka’, ‘Ku’, or ‘NA’)
bb=NA
cc=Direction for Unit 1 BXC (‘DN’=BDC, ‘UP’=BUC, ‘NA’=None)
dd=NA
e=Redundancy mode (0, 1, or 2)
ff=Automatic mode
g=Redundancy loop cable address
N=No Cable
A=MBT-A
B=MBT-B
h=External reference lock (1=locked, 0=Not locked)
Example BUC/BDC:
<0001A1/CCS?{cr}{lf}
>0001A1/CCS=aaaaa,bb.bb,c,d.d,e,ff,g,hhhh,i,j,{CR}{lf}
Where:
aaaaa=Frequency in MHz
bb.bb=Attenuation in dB
c=mute state, 0=unmated, 1=muted
d.d=slope adjust
e=LNA current source (BDC only, BUC=X)
ff=LNA current window (BDC only, BUC=XX)
g=LNA fault logic (BDC only, BUC=X)
hhhh=XXXX (reserved for future use)
i=X (reserved for future use)
j=Fault recovery, 0=Manual, 1=Auto
N/A CCS? CCS=x….x

1 byte, numeric Command only.
Sets the calibration point for the LNA/LNB current alarm feature in the form
s, where:
s (Source)=1 (LNA A (AUX COMM)) or 2 (LNB Bias Tee)
Example: CLC=2 would record the current measured for the LNB bias tee
