B.4 Status Commands/Responses

Config
Status

Command:
Response:

<add/OS_'cr'
>add/OS_'cr'
UCF_nnnn.n'cr'
DCF_nnnn.n'cr'
RF_xxx'cr'
DCA_nn.n'cr'
UCA_nn.n'cr'
SEL_n'cr''lf']



nnnn.n = 5845.0 to 6425.0 MHz.
nnnn.n = 3620.0 to 4200.0 MHz.
xxx = ON, WRM, or OFF.
nn.n = 0.0 to 21.0 dB (DC Fine Adj).
nn.n = 0.0 to 25.0 dB (UC Fine Adj).
n = 1, 2, 3, or None.

The converter configuration status command causes a block of
data to be returned by the addressed RFT-500.

The block of data reflects the current configuration status.

Fault Status

Command:
Response:

<add/FS_'cr'
>add/FS_'cr'
RST_xxx'cr'
UL_xxx'cr'
DL_xxx'cr'
PS5_xxx'cr'
P12_xxx'cr'
HPA_xxx'cr'
LNA_xxx'cr'
ULD_xxx'cr'
UTM_xxx'cr'
DLD_xxx'cr'
DTM_xxx'cr'
ILD_xxx'cr'
ITM_xxx'cr''lf']



xxx = Unit experienced a restart (OK/FLT).
xxx = Uplink Fault (OK/FLT).
xxx = Downlink Fault (OK/FLT).
xxx = +5V Power Supply (OK/FLT).
xxx = +12V Power Supply (OK/FLT).
xxx = Power Amp Fault (OK/FLT).
xxx = LNA Fault (OK/FLT).
xxx = UC LO Lock Detect (OK/FLT).
xxx = UC LO Tuning Voltage Out of Range (OK/FLT).
xxx = DC LO Lock Detect (OK/FLT).
xxx = DC LO Tuning Voltage Out of Range (OK/FLT).
xxx = IF LO Lock Detect (OK/FLT).
xxx = IF LO Tuning Voltage Out of Range (OK/FLT).

This command returns a block of data reflecting the current
and logged faults. Logged faults will be reset when receiving
this command, while current faults can be read on the second
request.

Note: This is not available with the single synthesizer option.

Summary
Fault Status

Command:
Response:

<add/SF_'cr'
>add/SF_xxx'cr''lf']

Where: xxx = OK or FLT.

Returns status of current faults only.

Maintenanc

Command:
Response:

<add/MS_'cr'
>add/MS_'cr'
UCT_nn'cr'
DCT_nn'cr'
HPT_nn'cr'
TUV_nn.n'cr'

nn = UC temperature in degrees C.
nn = DC temperature in degrees C.
nn = Power Amp temp in degrees C.
nn.n = UC LO Tuning voltage.
nn.n = DC LO Tuning voltage.
nn.n = IF LO Tuning voltage.

This command returns a block of data from the RFT-500
reflecting the status of certain internal parameters for the
purpose of troubleshooting.

Note: This is not available with the single synthesizer option.

Equipment
Type Status

Command:
Response:

<add/ET_'cr'
>add/ET_xx'cr''lf']

Where: xx = RFT-500 SW_2.13.

This command returns the equipment type polled and software
version.
