C - Channel [000] ST Channel [000]
This option allows the user to enter the Self-Timed Transmission channel number assigned by
NESDIS. The range for use with the domestic satellites is 001 to 199 and represents a specific
frequency for communicating with the satellites. If the channel is an even number then it is
communicating with the western satellite. If the channel number is odd it is communicating with
the eastern satellite. Channels from 200 and above are for international use.

R - Transmit Rate: 01:00:00 ST Rate [HH:MM:SS]
This option allows the user to set the rate at which data will be transmitted over the Self-Timed
channel. The default is a 1 hour rate, for example 01:00:00. This along with the setting for the
“ST Offset” determine the true time that data will be transmitted. See the ‘Tx Offset Time’
option below for an example. This option also indirectly determines how much data will be sent
each transmission. Use 00:00:00 for a 24 hour transmit rate. The transmit rate is assigned by
NESDIS.
