2.13.13 Machine State Query
This command queries the RF gain, detector gain, ALC threshold, and ALC response time.
Query:
MSB?
Response Format:
RF<space>GAIN=<rf_gain>,DT<space>GAIN=<det_gain>,THRES=<alc_th
resh>,RESP=<resp><LF>
<rf_gain>: The RF Gain setting (0-100%), padded with leading spaces to be 3 characters
<det_gain>: The ALC Detector Gain (0-100%), padded with leading spaces to be 3
characters
<alc_thresh>:
The ALC Threshold setting (0-100%), padded with leading spaces to be 3
characters
<resp>:
1 character representing the ALC Response setting (1-7)
Example: To query the machine state, send the following command:
MSB?<LF>
Response:
RF<space>GAIN=100,DT<space>GAIN=<space>50,THRES=75,RESP=1
<LF>
(RF gain is 100%, Detector Gain is 50%, ALC Threshold is 75%, and ALC
Response Time is set to 5mS)
2.13.14 Amplifier State Query
This command queries the state of the amplifier.
Query:
STATE?
Response Format:
STATE=<space><char1><char2><char3><char4><LF>
<char1> - <char4>:
ASCII character (0 to 9 or A to F) representing a hexadecimal character
Example: To query the state of the amplifier, send the following command:
STATE?<LF>
Response:
STATE=<space>8301<LF>
(Remote Mode, Power On, RF OFF, and Manual Mode)
