Faults and
Status
N/A 4 bytes Query Only.
Unit returns the current fault and status codes for the Base Unit, Converter A and B, in the form
abcd, where:
a = Base Unit Faults:
0 = No faults
1 = +12V Power Supply 1
2 = +12V Power Supply 2
3 = +5V Power Supply 1
4 = +5V Power Supply 2
5 = +7.8V Power Supply
6 = Flash Checksum
7 = FPGA Done
8 = External Ref Lock Detect
9 = Converter A Not Inserted
A = Converter B Not Inserted
B = Switch Fault
b, c = Converter A and B Faults:
0 = No faults
1 = Synthesizer Lock Detect
2 = Heat-sink Temperature
3 = LNA Current Supply (BDC only)
4 = Low Forward RF Power (BUC only)
d = New Faults:
0 = No change in fault status since last check
1 = Change in fault status, since last check
N/A FLT? FLT=abcd
d=Change in fault
status since last poll.
Note: Each section
has faults listed in
order of priority. For
each section, only the
highest priority fault is
returned. There are
maybe multiple faults
for each section, but
only the highest fault
is returned.
Initialize Events
Pointer
IEP= None Command only.
Resets internal pointer to allow RNE? Queries to start at the beginning of the stored events log.
Example: IEP=
IEP=
IEP?
IEP*
N/A N/A
Software Image IMG= 1 byte Command or Query.
Current Active software image, where:
1=Bulk Image # 1 currently active
2=Bulk Image # 2 currently active
Example: IMG=1 (which is Image #1 active)
IMG=
IMG?
IMG*
IMG#
IMG? IMG=x
