Amplifier Communication and Protocol, Rabbit CPU
Amplifier Commands
Clear RF Inhibit
Command Byte:
‘J’
Function:
RF drive to the TWT is enabled.
Compatibility:
Attenuator required.
Constant Power (dBW)
Command Byte:
‘F’
Function:
The HPA seeks the specified power level until Constant Power is
terminated by
Goto Power
(Command Byte ‘D’ or ‘E’) or
Terminate Constant
Power
(Command Byte ‘H’). also called “Auto Gain Stabilization”, the
Constant Power (dBW) command allows the user to operate an amplifier over
extended periods of time while maintaining a set power level. Constant Power
Mode is intended to compensate for gain drift (due to time or temperature).
Parameter:
The desired power level in “XX.X” dBW.
Compatibility:
Attenuator required.
Constant Power (Watts)
Command Byte:
‘G’
Function:
The HPA seeks the specified power level until Constant Power is
terminated by
Goto Power
(Command Byte ‘D’ or ‘E’) or
Terminate Constant
Power
(Command Byte ‘H’). Also called “Auto Gain Stabilization”, the
Constant Power (Watts) command allows the user to operate an amplifier
over extended periods of time while maintaining a set power level. Constant
Power Mode is intended to compensate for gain drift (due to time or
temperature).
Parameter:
The desired power level in “XXXX” Watts.
Compatibility:
Attenuator required.
Optional Parameter:
“M” - desired power in dBm.
Example GMxx.x
Fault Reset
Command Byte:
‘B’
Function:
Resets any of the resettable faults
