SDM-650B Satellite Modem Remote Control Operation
Rev. 6 B–23
B.1.4.7 BER Status
B.1.4.7.1 Raw BER
Command: <add/RBER_”cr”
Response: >add/RBER_nnnnE-4”cr””lf”]
Where: nnnn = RBER or < 1.0 (lower limit).
Example: Request raw BER from modem 123.
Command: <123/RBER_”cr”
Response: >123/RBER_152E-4”cr””lf”]
Where: RBER = .0152 errors/bit.
Note: “No Data” is returned if no carrier is detected (decoder not locked).
B.1.4.7.2 Corrected BER
Command: <add/CBER_”cr”
Response: >add/CBER_nE-m”cr””lf”]
Example: Request corrected BER from modem 19.
Command: <19/CBER_”cr”
Response: >19/CBER_2E-5”cr””lf”]
Where: CBER = .00002 errors/bit.
Notes:
1. Corrected BER limits are lower < 1E-8, upper > 1E-3.
2. “No Data” is returned if no carrier is detected (decoder not locked).
