17 - The az/el/pol display offsets or sensor direction flags are
corrupted.
18 - The polarization equipment code or polarization auto move
parameters are corrupted.
19 - Antenna polarization alarm detected.
20 - The azimuth and/or elevation auto move parameters or the
simultaneous az/el flag is corrupted. On versions of the
controller designed to interface with the Harris 9135 outdoor
enclosure this alarm code will be asserted if the azimuth and/or
elevation slow speed parameters are corrupted.

1011 - track peak limit error
1100 - track geo position error
1101 - track system error track

bytes 38 - 41: AGC Channel 1 The AGC channel 1 voltage is represented internally by a
numeric value between 0 and 1023. This numeric value is
converted to an ASCII string - ‘ 0’ and ‘1023’. The most
significant digit will be placed in byte 38 and the least significant
digit will be placed in byte 41. The string will be right justified
and padded with blanks (on the left).
bytes 42 - 45: AGC Channel 2 The AGC channel 2 voltage is represented internally by a
numeric value between 0 and 1023. This numeric value is
converted to an ASCII string - ‘ 0’ and ‘1023’. The most
significant digit will be placed in byte 42 and the least significant
digit will be placed in byte 45. The string will be right justified
and padded with blanks (on the left).
bytes 46 - 49: Reserved - At this time these bytes are initialized to 0100$0000b.
byte 50: ETX
byte 51: checksum
Query Name Command
This query command instructs the RC2500 to send back to the host computer the name of a satellite
stored in non-volatile memory (via the controller’s SETUP mode) and the total number of satellites stored
