CID=
CID?
48 bytes
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the user-defined label for the unit or station.
NOTE:
The 48-character string is entered as one line, but it is read back from the unit as two 24-byte lines of
information.
Default Setting:
------CID MESSAGE-------
------------------------
COMMAND EXAMPLE:
<0001/CID= Station #001--SSPA #01--{CR}
>0001/CID={CR}{LF}
QUERY EXAMPLE:
<0001/CID?{CR}
>0001/CID={CR}
Station #001{CR}
--SSPA #01--{CR}{LF}

Calibrate LNB
Current
CLC=
CLC?
none
Command or Query.
Sets or returns, as a reference point, the value of the LNB Current Supply (in mA) in the form xxx.x.
Default value:
000.0
NOTES:
1)
This command returns a mode error if the LNB current source output has not been enabled first (see LCS
command).
2)
The LNB current alarm point is then determined by the calibrated LNB reference point, and the LNB current
window setting (see LCW command).
3)
The CLC query returns the value that was stored during the LNB current calibration.
COMMAND EXAMPLE:
<1/CLC=xxx.x{CR} (where xxx.x is the calibrated LNB current value in mA)
QUERY EXAMPLE:
<1/CLC?{CR}
>0001/CLC=xxx.x{CR}{LF}
