5.5  REMOTE COMMANDS 

5.5.1 

SET 

SET is used to assign values to program registers.  The SET command has two fields separated by a comma: the register 
and the operand.  The register is the desired programming field to be programmed. Refer to the DLTM programming pages 
for the allowable register names and values for each field. 

Example: 

SET CLOCK, EXTERNAL 

5.5.2 

READ 

READ  is  used  to  interrogate  values  saved  in  program  registers.    The  READ  command  has  one  field  to  designate  the 
register.  The register is the desired programming field to be interrogated. Refer to the  DLTM4 programming menus for 
the register field names. 

Examples: 

READ CLOCK 

READ PROG1 will return the PCM line 1 

5.5.3 

HELP 

Issuing the HELP command to the DLTM4 after it is selected by using the SLOT command to select the module. 

5.5.5 

SAVE/LOAD 

The SAVE command saves the current settings to the preset group number specified by the PRESET number.  The LOAD 
command  retrieves  and  replaces  the  current  program  with  the  settings  from  the  preset  group  number  specified  by  the 
PRESET number. 

Example: 

set preset=1 

save 

set preset=2 

load

CLEAR 

Clear received bit counter and accumulated error data. 

Figure 8 

FREEZE  

Freeze received bit counter and error accumulation data.  Consecutive 
Freeze commands update accumulated data values to the current values 
with no further accumulation. 

Figure 8 

UPDATE DISPLAY 

Set received bit counter and error accumulation to continuous run mode. 

Figure 8 

ERROR 

Insert a single error into the data stream 

Figure 8 

SLIP 

Insert a single bit slip into the data stream 

Figure 8 

START ZERO 

Start insertion of continuous zeros into the data stream. 

Figure 8 

STOP ZERO 

Stop insertion of continuous zeros into the data stream. 

Figure 8 

STATUS 

Returns SYNC status, SYNC, NO SYNC, NO DATA, NO CLOCK
