Description of Arguments
(Note that all arguments are ASCII numeric codes, i.e., ASCII codes between 48 and 57)
Query
(Instr Code and
Qualifier)
Response to Query
(Target to controller)
Reboot RBT= 1 byte Command only.
Soft Reboot
1 = Reboot System
Example: RBT=1
N/A N/A
Retrieve
Configuration
Status
N/A variable length, alpha
numerical Query only.
Used to Query the configuration status of the unit.
Example: RCS=’cr’
ATT=10.00
AMP=1
MUT=0
RED=1
ESW=0
AFR=1
XRF=N/A
NOTES:
1.
XRF = External reference status, where:
N/A = no external reference
05M = 5 MHz
10M = 10 MHz
XRF will always be N/A if the internal reference oscillator option is not installed.
2.
If a parameter it is not applicable, it will display x. Example: ESW=x
RCS?
RCS=x….x
(see Description of
Arguments)
Online Status N/A 1 byte,
value of 0, 1 Query only.
Online status (applies only to redundancy), where:
0 = Offline
1 = Online
Example: <0001/RED?’cr’
>0001/RED=1’cr’’lf’
RED? RED=x
Reference
Oscillator Adjust REF= 3 bytes,
numerical
Command or Query.
Ref Osc Adjust, between 000 and 255.
Resolution 001. (Optional installation)
Example: REF=087
Note: REF cannot be adjusted when the unit is locked to an external reference source.
REF? REF=x
(same format as
command arguments)

Equipment Type
N/A variable length,
alphanumerical
Query only.
The unit returns a string indicated the Model Number and the value of internal software revision
installed.
Example: RET=KPA100-4045-I REF BUC VER: 1.03
RET? RET=x….x
