Technical operation

gain *gains

where gain is one of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64. For example, to select ×8 gain

on all channels, enter the command

8 *gains

The digitiser must be rebooted before the change will take effect.

To set the gain for an individual channel, enter the command:

channel gain *gain

where channel is one of 0 (vertical), 1 (North/South), 2 (East/West) or 3

(auxiliary/calibration). On seven channel digitisers, this parameter can also
be one of 4 (vertical), 5 (North/South) or 6 (East/West), referring to the

components from the second instrument. gain is one of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or
64. For example, to select ×16 gain on just the vertical channel, enter the

command

0 16 *gains

The digitiser must be rebooted before the change will take effect.

Software developers working with GCF packets can decode the selected gain

setting from the GCF header as follows:

If the most significant bit of the System ID is zero, variable gain is not used. If

the most significant two bits of the System ID are 10 or 11, the next three bits
encode the gain, using this code:
