TYPES OF COMMANDS
Commands can be classified as shown below:
For example, note the following in the case of the FA
command (Frequency of VFO A):
To set the frequency to 7 MHz, the following
command is sent from the computer to the
transceiver:
“FA00007000000;”
(Set Command)
To read the frequency of VFO A, the following
command is sent from the computer to the
transceiver:
“FA;”
(Read Command)
When the Read Command above has been sent, the
following command is returned to the computer:
“FA00007000000;”
(Answer Command)
COMPUTER CONTROL COMMANDS
A summary of the command library for communication
between a computer and the TS-870S is included in this
section.
This information can be used if you are
developing your own transceiver control program, or
you are troubleshooting an existing control application.
