A.7.4.6 Terminal Status Change
The TSC_ command can be used to determine if the status of the terminal has changed since it
was last polled. If any of the parameters listed in the RCS or RUS commands have changed as a
result of user front panel operations or remote operations or if any new fault condition occur
the TSC_ command will return YES. The TSC_ command will then continue to return YES until
any of the following commands are received: RCS_, RUS_, RAS_, PACRCS_, PACRUS_, or PACRAS.
Command Details
Configuration Status: <DEV/TSC_'cr’
Confirmation: >DEV/TSC_nnn'cr''lf'] nnn=YES/NO
A.7.4.7 Packed Configuration Status
Configuration Status: <DEV/PACRCS_'cr'
Confirmation: >DEV/PACRCS_aaaabbbcdeffgghijkl'cr''lf']
where:
aaaa = # of 125kHz steps above base frequency 1
bbb = # of 0.25 dB steps above 0.00 dB 2
c = 1 if Transmitter ON, 0 if OFF, 2 if Cold
d = 1 if unit ONLINE, 0 if OFFLINE
e = 1 if Redundancy ON, else 0
ff = converter # (01-12,BU or 00 if e = 0)
gg = 00 if 'ff' is 00 (redundancy OFF)
gg = chain length (01-12) if 'ff' is BU
gg = XX if 'ff' = 01 - 12
h = A if Auto Mode, M if Manual 3
I = 1 if Cold Start Enabled, else 0
j = 1 if Auto recovery enabled, else 0
k = 1 if an Ext. Ref is present, else 0
l = 1 if Remote Mode, 0 if Local Mode
Notes:
1. If the converter is 1 kHz step size, this will be the number of 1 kHz steps above the base
frequency
2. If the converter is 0.1 -dB step size, this will be the number of 0.1 -dB steps above the
base frequency
3. If it is a backup converter, it is always ‘A’
