Command or Query.
Sets or returns the alarm window in
±
% of the calibrated LNB Current in the form xx,
where:
xx=20 to 50, in increments of 1(%); set to 99 to disable (SEE NOTE).
Default value: 30
NOTE: A query return value of 99 indicates that the current window is disabled. This
method is due to become obsolete. Comtech recommends that you use the CWE
command/query instead of specifying 99 here.
