Sets Mux Mode 4
• Mode 4 is a TIMED ROUNDROBIN - each antenna is
used for a timed interval regardless
• This mode is mostly intended for RAIL operation,
but could be used for GEN2 if desired (maybe with
sub-optimum results)
• The amount of time spent on each antenna is set in
the command
n/a
RM5
or
RM5<ANT#1><ANT#2>
<ANT#3><ANT#4>
or
RM5<#1><#2><#3><#4><INV
COUNT>
Sets Mux Mode 5
• Mode 5 is used to select specific antennas to
sequence over
• For example: rm50101 would sequence over ONLY
antennas 2 and 4.
• INVCOUNT (INVCOUNT+1 passes through the state
machine on each antenna)
