ISP= None Command only.
Resets internal pointer to allow RNS? queries to start at the
beginning of the statistics log.

ISP#
N/A N/A
Rx Eb/No N/A 4 bytes Query only.
Unit returns the value of Eb/No, between 0 and 16 dB,
Resolution 0.1 dB.
Returns 99.9 if demod is unlocked.
Example EBN=12.3 (which is Eb/No = 12.3 dB)
For values greater than 16.0 dB, the reply will be: EBN=+016
N/A EBN? EBN=xxxx
(see description of
arguments)
Rx Signal
Level
N/A 4 bytes Query Only.
Unit returns the value of the Rx signal level, in dBm, between –5
and –99 dBm, in the form: ccxx, where:
cc = code:
GT=Greater Than
LT=Less Than
== is equal to
xx = value (the ‘-‘ sign is implied)
Examples:
RSL=LT99 (Rx signal level is less than -99 dBm)
RSL===41 (Rx signal level is equal to -41 dBm)
N/A RSL? RSL=ccxx
(see description
of arguments)
Rx Frequency
Offset
N/A 6 bytes Query only.
Unit returns the value of the measured frequency offset of the
carrier being demodulated, in the form sxxx.x, where:
s = sign (+ or - character)
xxx.x = value (range from ± 0 to ± 200 kHz, 100 Hz resolution)
Returns +999.9 if the demodulator is unlocked.
Example: RFO=+002.3 (which is + 2.3 kHz)
N/A RFO? RFO=sxxx.x
(see description
of arguments)
Buffer Fill
State
N/A 2 bytes Query only.
Unit returns the value of the buffer fill state, between 1 to 99%.
Returns 00 if demodulator is unlocked.
Example: BFS=33 (which is 33%)
N/A BFS? BFS=xx
