MEASUREMENT COMMANDS
This set of commands allows the user to query the Unit to perform measurement on received signal from
the UUT. The Unit can perform frequency, power and pulse characteristic measurements on both 1030
and 1090 MHz signals. T he Unit can also perform 1030 MHz phase measurements between any of the
antenna ports and either T1 or B1 according if top or bottom is selected.

Command Syntax:
{:RGS | :RGS2000NG}{:MEA | :MEASURE}{:DFORMAT}SP<numeric>CR
Description:
This command sets the replies numeric format.
Numeric:
0 to 2 (decimal ASCII)
Value
Format
0
Hexadecimal
1
Decimal (no fractional part)
2
Float (fractional part)
Default:
1
Example:
:RGS:MEA:DFORMAT 1\r
Command Syntax:
{:RGS | :RGS2000NG}{:MEA | :MEASURE}{:FREQ? | :FREQUENCY?} CR
Description:
This command returns the frequency of the incoming signal.
Return:
Value is in ASCII data format specified in MHz.
In case of the Float data format, the value is returned with four decimal
points.
NOTE:
In order to measure frequency, the TCAS Unit needs to transmit a long P6
pulse without modulation.
Example:
:RGS:MEA:FREQ?\r
Returns:
10A1C3 (Hexadecimal format)
Returns:
1089976 (Decimal format)
Returns:
1090.003 (Float format)
