E.4

Tracking and Conical
Scan Commands

Target Location

Function:

reports the target location in antenna frame; data
format is E### for elevation in degrees 000-900 and
A#### for azimuth in degrees 0000-3599 with
implied decimals

Command:

TGTLOCATION

Response:

Target Location = A = E###, A####

B = E###, A####

Analog Signal Strength Report

Function:

reports signal strength from RF detector circuit in
A/D counts (000-FFF Hex)

Command:

SIGLEVEL

Response:

Signal Strength = XXXX

E.5

RF Board Commands

Serial Communications, Status/Polarization Report, Tone Changes

Function:

starts serial communications, reports status and
polarization/tone changes

Command:

@S

Response:

S,s,p,b,m <cr> every 5 seconds until ><cr>is
returned from system software

Where:

s = satellite (A = primary, B = secondary)

p = polarization (V = vertical, H = horizontal,

R = right, L = left, X = no LNB power)

b = band (H = high band, L = low band,

G = Latin America, U = USA)

m = mode (V = valid, I = invalid)*

* The Mode bit is used to evaluate the Satellite, Polarization and Band
combination vs. the Frequency/Symbol Rate/FEC currently in RAM. This
bit will be set to invalid if the Frequency for the selected combination is
set to 0x0000; otherwise it will be set to valid. For example the Mode bit
will be set to invalid when the frequency is set to 00000 to indicate that
there is not a frequency to track for the LNB tone and voltage setting.
