Analog Signal Strength Report
Function:
reports signal strength from RF detector circuit in
A/D counts (000-FFF Hex)
Command:
SIGLEVEL
Argument:
none
Response:
Signal Strength = xxxx
E.5
RF Board Commands
Serial Communications, Status/Polarization Report, Tone Changes
Function:
start serial communications, reports status &
polarization/tone changes
Command:
@S
Response:
S,s,p,b,m <cr> every 5 seconds until ><cr>is
returned from system software
Where:
s = Satellite (a = Primary, b = Secondary)
p = Polarization (v = Vertical, h = Horizontal, x = No
LNB Power)
b = Band (h = High Band, l = Low Band, u = USA)
m = Mode (v = Valid, i = Invalid)*
* The Mode bit is used to evaluate the Satellite, Polarization, & Band
combination vs. the Frequency/Symbol Rate/FEC currently in RAM. This bit will
be set to invalid if the Frequency for the selected combination is set to 0x0000;
otherwise it will be set to valid.
Report RF Tracking Parameters
Function:
reports all RF tracking parameters for primary &
secondary satellites*
Command:
@SATCONFIG
Response:
F,x,fffff,S,C,ID,P,B,D <cr>
Where:
x = Satellite (a = Primary, b = Secondary)
fffff = Frequency in MHz (00000 and 10700 to
12700)
S = Symbol rate in Mbit/Sec (1000 to 29999)
C = FEC code rate (valid rates = 12, 23, 34, 56,
67, 78)
ID = Satellite Network ID in hexidecimal format
(valid range = 0x0000 to 0xffff hex)
P = LNB Polarization (v = Vertical, h = Horizontal)
B = the LNB down conversion frequency (l = low,
h = high, u = USA)
D = decoding type (0 = test, 1 = DSS-A, 2 = DSS-B,
3 = DVB)
* This command dumps all eight combinations of the Satellite/
Freq/Sym/FEC/ID/POL/Band/Decode currently stored in RAM.
