All commands generate a response of one or more lines, which indicate successful completion of the command or an
error.
After a command’s response, the transmitter displays the mode name followed by the character “>” as a prompt,
which may be interpreted as meaning the radio is ready to accept new characters. If the CP07 option is enabled, only
the character “>” displays as a prompt.
*SV Note:
Users may save internal clock and data in presets for bench debug use BUT
on a power up or when a
hardware
preset is restored,
CS
and
DS
will be forced to
0
(external clock and data). This action prevents a transmitter from powering up or
changing hardware presets and being set to internal clock and/or data. The ONLY way to
restore CS and/or
DS
as
1
from a saved configuration is by executing the
RC
command.

Additional Command Set Details
4.2.1.1.1 Automatic Carrier Output
– AC
This command requires the AC or ACS option. These options allows the TIMTER to transmit a carrier wave when
the clock input is absent, which would normally cause the RF output to be turned off.
If the AC
option
is present, the AC command is always enabled (1) even if a preset is saved with AC = 0.
If the ACS
option
is present, the saved setting of the AC command (preset 0) is used on power up instead of forcing
AC = 1.
Also refer to Appendix C – Understanding Clock/Data, AC, and BR.
4.2.1.1.2 Baseband Clock
– BBCK
The BBCK command displays the actual current baseband clock rate and source.
If Clock Free (CF command) is enabled, and the bit rate (BR command) is fixed at 5.5 Mbps:
1>BBCK
BB clock rate = 5.465334 Mbps, src = CF Man (Man indicates the bit rate was set manually)
