Verbose Modes
To receive change notices, the session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3 (see
Set verbose
mode
on page 92). In verbose mode 1 or 3, the unit reports changes in messages that
resemble SIS command responses.
Tagged and Untagged Responses
When a query command is sent in verbose mode 0 or 1, only the “untagged” value is
returned. When a query command is sent in other verbose modes, the response is “tagged”
and resembles the response to a set command.
Examle:
The gain query command
E
G40000AU
}
is sent. The following responses
appear depending on the verbose mode:
•
Untagged (verbose 0 or 1)
:
600
]
, just the gain value with no other information.
•
Tagged (verbose 2 or 3)
:
DsG40000*600
]
, the type of query sent, the OID queried,
and the gain value.
NOTE:
All query responses listed in this guide are untagged.
