†*ROLE{,role{,low,high}
{,mode}}
NOTE
Role is kept in EEPROM
and low, high and mode
are kept in BBU RAM.
Define role played in network, either SILENT (never
transmits), TRANSPOND (responds to probes), PROBE
(actively probes), or LOS (line of sight) mode. If role is
set to TRANSPOND, the low and high parameters can
be used to specify the threshold values for automatic
meteor burst vs. line of sight modes of operation and the
mode parameter can set the starting mode (meteor burst
or line of sight).
Thresholds are specified in idle probes per minute. To
prevent LOS operation altogether, set the low threshold
to 1000 if the unit’s Master is half duplex or 5500 if it is
full duplex.
role = SILENT,
LOS,
TRANSPOND
or
PROBE
low = threshold
for switching
from LOS to
MB mode in idle
probes per
minute
high = threshold
for switching
from MB to
LOS mode in
idle probes per
minute
mode = MB or
LOS
0 – 32767
0 – 32767
†RTCM{,nnn} Define time latency in seconds between beacon receiver
and local time. Without parameter, display report of
satellites in view by beacon receiver.
nnn = latency in
seconds
0 – 59
RX STAT{,CLEAR} Display statistics for the 545B Receiver CLEAR = clear
all statistics after
display
SAVE
Save CONFIG parameters in EEPROM. Reboot of
545B (or restart due to software failure) returns unit to
configuration saved in EEPROM.
