Power is in dBm.

Temperature is in degrees C. The temperature scale is from
–
40 to 125 C, with approximately
+/- 2 degrees C accuracy.
Figure 2-12: Command getstatus
getfaults
This command gets the status of the mute, over temperature and pll loss of lock.
For mute, “0” indicates the unit is in an unmuted state. A “1” indicates a muted state. Note that a “1” does
not necessarily indicate an error as the
unit could have been commanded into a mute state (see “setmute”
command).
For over temp and pll, a value of “0” means no error and a value of “1” indicates an error.
Figure 2-13: Command getfaults
resetfaults
This command
clears faults under certain conditions. Note that the “mute” fault code indicates muted state,
not necessarily an error. Since the unit can be commanded into mute state, without a fault, the “resetfaults”
command will not clear a mute fault in this situation.
The temperature sensor has a trip point (above which a fault is triggered) and a reset point (below which a
fault is automatically cleared.) The reset point is set below the trip point to provide hysteresis. See
for Trip and Reset Points.
The
resetfaults
command will clear an overtemp fault which has been tripped if the unit is currently below
the trip point. If the fault mode sensor value is above the trip point, the fault cannot be cleared. Some faults
may not have a reset point, and must be reset through the “
resetfaults
” command.
