9.2 Command Format Notes
•
All commands and alphabetic parameters are case sensitive. They must be entered in upper
or lower case as defined in the syntax.
•
Any command with a * next to it means that it cannot be stored in EEPROM; i.e., if a
*Save Operational Configuration
command (see page
) is executed, the information will
not be saved after the system power is turned off.
•
For those commands involving an optional list of parameters, if some of the parameter values
are omitted the current system-retained value of that parameter is used in its place.
•
The RELATIVES field contains a list of those commands which provide related information
to the system. For example, the
) is a relative to the
•
The term
station
is a transmitter-receiver pair. The four receivers paired with the one
available transmitter are assigned station numbers one through four (1-4).
•
FASTRAKs are shipped configured in one of four (4) possible frequencies. The frequencies
are referenced as follows:
Ref. Number
Frequency
1
8013 Hz
2
10016 Hz
3
12019 Hz (Standard)
4
14022 Hz
•
A numeric floating point value will be accepted by the FASTRAK if any of the following
formats are used.
FOR EXAMPLE:
3.0 may be specified as: 3, 3., 3.0 or 3.0 E+00.
See each command’s format for generally accepted accuracy range.
•
The notation R(Sxx.xxxB) represents the ASCII output format for the specific data element,
where:
R
is the repeat count and what follows in parenthesis is repeated R times
S
is the sign byte, , -, or space (for +)
X
is a decimal digit (0...9)
.
is a decimal point
B
is a blank
H
is a hexadecimal digit (0...F)
Example: A format 3(Sx.xxxxB), would be output as:
-1.1111 2.2222 -3.3333
•
For discussion purposes, all “Examples” assume only 1 receiver is used, connected to the
station 1 receptacle.
