This command takes no arguments.
Force 1:1
Switch
FSW= None Command only.
Forces the unit to toggle the Unit Fail relay to the
‘fail’ state for approx 500ms. If the unit is a 1:1 pair,
and it is currently the ‘On Line’ unit, this will force a
switchover, so the unit will then be in ‘Standby’
mode. The command is always executed by the
unit, regardless of whether it is stand-alone, in a
1:1 pair, or part of a 1:N system.
This command takes no arguments.

10dB
attenuator
set
ATS= 1 byte, value of
0 or 1
FACTORY USE ONLY
Modulator output 10dB attenuator setting, where
0 = no attenuation
1 = 10 dB attenuation
Example: ATS=0
(Used for power-level calibration)
ATS= (message ok)
ATS? (received ok, but
invalid arguments found)
ATS* (message ok, but not
permitted in current mode)
ATS? ATS=n
where n is 0
or 1
Power level
DAC set
DAC= 4 bytes,
numerical
FACTORY USE ONLY
Modulator power output DAC setting. An argument
between 0000 and 4095 is required
Example: DAC=1287
(Used for power-level calibration)
DAC= (message ok)
DAC? (received ok, but
invalid arguments found)
DAC* (message ok, but not
permitted in current mode)
DAC? DAC=xxxx
where xxxx
is a value
between 0000
and 4095
Write
EEPROM
Value
EWR= 7 bytes Command only. FACTORY USE ONLY
A command in the form ddd,aaa, where ddd is a
single byte data value between 0 and 255, and aaa
is a starting address (in the range 0 - 127) within
the serial EEPROM, where the data is to be
written.
