Random Channel, Random Baud, Timed Interval, Timed Offset, Random
Interval)
7.5.4.1 Result Code
Result Code is used to indicate success or failure. Zero indicates success.
Positive result codes indicate communication problems; negative result codes
indicate an illegal value in one of the parameters. Refer to Section 8.2, Result
Codes, for error code tables and further details.
7.5.4.2 Platform ID
Platform ID is an eight-character hexadecimal number assigned by NESDIS.
The Platform ID is always divisible by two. Valid characters are 0 to 9 and A
to F.
7.5.4.3 Window
Window is the message window length in seconds. Valid range is 5 to 120.
7.5.4.4 Timed Channel
Timed Channel is the assigned self-timed transmission channel. Valid range
for 300 bps is 0 to 266 and 0 to 133 for 1200 bps. Often, 1200 bps channels
are referred to using the 300 channel number scheme. Divide by two to get the
real 1200 baud channel number.
7.5.4.5 Timed Baud Rate
Timed Baud Rate is assigned and channel dependent. The assigned value for a
CS2-compliant transmitter is either 300 or 1200.
7.5.4.6 Random Channel
Random Channel is the assigned random channel number. See Timed Channel
description for valid entries.
7.5.4.7 Random Baud Rate
Random Baud Rate is assigned and channel dependent. The assigned value for
a CS2-compliant device is either 300 or 1200.
7.5.4.8 Timed Interval
Timed Interval is assigned by NESDIS and is a string variable in the format of
“dd_hh_mm_ss”, where dd is days and usually 00, hh is hours and usually 01,
mm is minutes and usually 00, and ss is seconds and usually 00.
