Control Inputs
RCU_
TXMod-
Mode
Type Default Value
uint8 0
Description: Set the live radio transmit modulation mode. There
are two possible settings:
0 – AM
1 – FM
Some settings are not possible in all cases; refer to the radio’s oper-
ator manual for information on setting the modulation mode.
RCU_
Operat-
ing Mode
Type Default Value
uint8 0
Description: Set the live radio’s operating mode. There are four
possible settings:
0 – Bypass
1 – Receive
2 – Transmit
3 – Beacon
In Bypass mode, the component does not attempt to control the
operating mode. This is useful if there is another entity driving the
live radio’s operating mode; for example, if an operator were to use
a handset with the radio – while the remote control system is
connected – one would prefer to set Bypass so that the Refer to the
radio’s operator manual for information on the other three modes.
Note: Transmit and Beacon mode implies that the transceiver will
be actively keyed and transmitting over the air. Take caution when
using these; the radio should have an antennae or equivalent load
available.
Control Outputs
Interface
Type Default Value
string none
Description: A helpful status message about the state of the live
radio remote control interface. Some of the messages one might see
are:
Remote Control Off: Signifies that the serial messaging is
disabled for the interface (most likely because ControlEnable is
False)
Err: Bad device name / chan: An invalid ACE-RIU device or
channel has been specified.
Err: check mask / log: A control query might be failing
consistently, check component log (see the radio.log_level
control) for more information.
Okay: Normal operation
Success-
Mask
Type Default Value
uint64 0
Description: A 64-bit mask for tracking the outcome of commands
to the live radio. Refer to the Command List to locate specific
commands in the mask. When a command succeeds (as determined
by receiving an ACK from the live radio and or receiving a valid
response) the bit for the command is set to 1. The bit is set to 0
when the command is sent again.
