AMCO Automated Systems • P/N 52845G125 Rev 1 FEB 2004
Purpose Command Response
Read Sub-Counts &
P.C.F.
RC[<sn>][,T][,F<1|2>]
<count>/<divisor>,[<Num>/<Denom>,]<ss>,<bat>
or R<N|B|C<ch>|A|J>
Where:
Count and divisor are 3 digit numbers, representing the fractional reading not counted yet.
On Transponders with V9 code or later the Num/Denom is the Pressure Compensation Factor (P.C.F.)
(default: 1/1, see PC).
R = Reply: N= None, B = Bad, C<ch>= Try Channel <ch>, A= Aborted, J= Jammed.
Note:
This command is not valid for Gen2 (<sn> < 2,500,000).
Program
Compensation
Factor
PC[<sn>][,F<1|2>],<Num
>[,|/]<Denom>
[RA] {use RC command to verify}
Where: RA = Programming Aborted.
NOTE:
Valid only for units with V9 code or later. Use RC or RS command to verify type and programming. PC can be
any fraction where Num and Denom are integers from 1 to 255. By default it is 1/1 and on units before V9 the RC
command will not show any factors.
Program Reading
PR[<sn>][,F<1|2>][,
<count>]
[RA] {use RM command to verify}
Where: RA = Programming Aborted.
Note1:
If <sn> is Gen2 the S/W must prompt the user to use and remove the Programming Stick, before verifying the
reading with an RM command. (RM won’t work if the Stick is still on)
Note2:
wild cards are not allowed when programming. If no <count>, 00000000 is assumed.
Load Channel LC<ch> {none, URF>}
Where <ch>=-25 to +15 (+ and leading 0 optional) Sets the Rcv frequency to that Channel
Channel 0 = 415MHz and the channel spacing is 100KHz.
At Power-on the default is Channel -5 (414.5MHz).
When an RM, RS or RC command replies with “RC<ch>” send “LC<ch>” if you want to use this channel on the next
interrogation (or to set it back to the default afterward) or record this channel in a data base for use on this SN next
month.
System Status SS
V:<ver>,S:<csum>,B:<Volts>,I:<Volts|0.0>,C:<Rcv
Ch>,
T:<Xmit F1 >,<Xmit F2>
Where: <ver>=URFI F/W version, <Xmit F1> and <Xmit F2> are the two licensed Transmit frequencies for this URF
(defaults = 451. and 457.575 MHz).
<Rcv Ch>= the last channel used, (default=-5) B<volts> is the batteries current voltage and I<volts> is the voltage
during the previous Interrogation (or 0.0 if the URFI has not transmitted yet).
Note: More information is displayed when the Expanded mode, “X+”, is active. (see COM2 spec.)
