Transmitter Configuration
The configuration parameters of the transmitter are set through the
service terminal with the following command:
CFG <name> <parameter> <value>
A response to the command can be received by giving the command
LASTVAL <name> service. The response can be either ID set, ID
set failed
, Clock set, or Clock set failed.
After power-up, before any transmissions can be made, the clock must
be set if the transmitter does not have an embedded GPS. The
transmitter ID stored to EEPROM is used after the power-up. If no ID
has been stored, one must be set before any transmissions can be made.
