FIPS Commands
FIPS commands are used to control the RF-O! transmitter and are organized in three
categories:
• Action commands
• Read parameter commands
• Write parameter commands
Table 5-2 shows the FIPS command syntax.
Action Commands
An action command causes the RF-O! transmitter to change operating modes or interact with
an external entity. An action command can write one or more parameters to the internal
Orchestra Control Module (OCM) memory or perform a series of functions. The action
command appears in the following format:
a [command #] [parameter or list] <Enter>
Note: Not all action commands have parameters or lists.
