(note that all arguments are ASCII numeric codes,
that is, ASCII codes between 48 and 57) Response to
Command (target to

query (target
to controller)
Power level
DAC set DAC= 4 bytes,
numerical
FACTORY USE ONLY
Modulator power output DAC setting. An argument
between 0000 and 4095 is required
Example: DAC=1287
(Used for power-level calibration) DAC= (message ok)
DAC? (received ok,
but invalid arguments
found)
DAC* (message ok,
but not permitted in
current mode. DAC? DAC=xxxx
where xxxx is a
value between
0000 and 4095
Write
EEPROM
Value EWR= 7 bytes Command only. FACTORY USE ONLY
A command in the form ddd,aaa, where ddd is a
single byte data value between 0 and 255, and aaa is a
starting address (in the range 0 - 127) within the serial
EEPROM, where the data is to be written.
Example: EWR=127,104 means write the value 127
starting at address location 104.
(Used for power-level cal, amongst other things) EWR= (message ok)
EWR? (received ok,
but invalid arguments
found)
EWR* (message ok,
but not permitted in
current mode N/A N/A
Read
EEPROM
Value N/A 3 bytes Query only. FACTORY USE ONLY
A query in the form aaa where aaa is a starting bit
address (in the range 0 - 127) within the modem’s
serial EEPROM, requesting that the byte stored at that
location be returned.
Example: ERD?063 returns the value of the byte
stored at location 063.
(Used for power-level cal, amongst other things) N/A ERD? ERD=xxx
where xxx is a
value between 0
and 255
Set RTC Date DAY= 6 bytes,
numerical Command or query
A command in the form ddmmyy, where; dd = day of
the month, between 01 and 31, mm = month of the
year, between 01 and 12 and yy = year, between 97
and 96 (1997 to 2000, then 2000 to 2096)
Example: DAY=240457 would be April 24, 2057 DAY= (message ok)
DAY? (received ok,
but invalid arguments
found)
DAY* (message ok,
but not permitted in
current mode DAY? DAY=xxxxxx
(same format as
command
arguments)
Set RTC Time TIM= 6 bytes,
numerical Command or query
A command in the form hhmmss, indicating the time
from midnight, where hh = hours, between 00 and23;
mm = minutes, between 00 and 59, and ss = seconds,
between 00 and 59
Example: TIM=231259 would be 23 hours, 12
minutes and 59 seconds from midnight. TIM= (message ok)
TIM? (received ok,
but invalid arguments
found)
TIM* (message ok,
but not permitted in
current mode TIM? TIM=xxxxxx
(same format as
command
arguments)
Clear All
Stored Events CAE= None Command only
Instructs the unit to clear all Stored Events
This command takes no arguments. CAE= (message ok) N/A N/A
