getstatus
This command instructs the unit to respond with fault flag, forward power and temperature.
•
A “0” after “fault” indicates no faults. A “1” indicates a fault. Use command “getfaults” to
determine what fault exists.
•
“fwdpwr” is RF Forward Power in dBm. Values are provided with 0.1dBm resolution.
•
Temperature is in degrees C. The temperature scale is from
–40 to 125 C, with approximately
+/- 2 degrees C accuracy.
•
Unmute Time is in seconds since the last time the device was muted.
Figure 2-14: Command getstatus
getfaults
This command obtains fault information from the ATOM device, including over temperature fault, PLL
fault, power fault, and IF-over-input fault.
For “overtemp”, “PLL”, “power”, and “overinput” faults, a value of 0 means no fault of the specific type has
occurred and a value of 1 indicates a fault has occurred.
The “mute” status is controlled by mute-on-fault setting. When mute-on-fault is active, and the device is
physically muted, a value of “0” indicates that the muting was not caused by a fault. A value of “1”
indicates that the muting was caused by a fault. When mute-on-
fault is inactive, “mute” status always
shows a value of “0”.
Figure 2-15: Command getfaults
getmuteonfault
This command obtains mute-on-fault setting from the ATOM device. Refer to Table 2-5 for more details.
setmuteonfault
This command configures mute-on-fault setting for the ATOM device. When set to on, the device mutes
when any fault occurred. Refer to Table 2-5 for more details.
resettempfault
This command manually clears the Over Temperature Fault for the ATOM device if the current System
Temperature comes between
the device’s temperature Trip Point and Reset Point. This command is
ignored and returns “err” if the current System Temperature is between the device’s temperature Trip Point
