Tuner Command Structure
AH66T tuner commands follow the same basic structure. Commands are in all capitals and
the comma separation (44 in decimal or 0x2C in hex) is required.
Prefix: &AH66 - This is required for all command strings.
Tuner Select (TS): This is required for all command strings. This selects either
chassis one’s tuner or chassis two’s tuner.*
*Radio 2 (R2) is only available in a two chassis system that has been configured to
share tuners. See page 33 for information on the internal tuner setup options.
Parameter # 1 (PAR1): This refers to the desired function. (Scan, Seek, Cancel, etc.)
Parameter # 2 (PAR2): This is usually the second part of the actual command - ON / OFF /
TOGGLE / QUERY / UP / DOWN, for example.
Parameter # 3 (PAR3): Used when direct tuning the internal radio or requesting RDS
metadata.
Carriage Return (<cr>): This is required for all commands. (0x0d or Decimal 13)
Sample Command Layout:
&AH66,TS,PAR1,PAR2<cr> (2 parameters)
&AH66,TS,PAR1,PAR2,PAR3<cr> (3 parameters)
Tuner Command Response Structure
When a tuner command is sent the AH66T will generate a response that indicates whether
or not the command was successfully decoded.
When the AH66T successfully decodes tuner commands it will respond with *AH66,ACK.
If the tuner command is not successfully decoded (incorrect command or format) the
AH66T will respond with *AH66,NACK.
