Using a Remote Unit
Error Messages If the TDR6 is not able to execute a command, an error message will be returned,
indicating the command was not completed. TDR6 error messages, along with the
action required to resolve the error, are explained in the following table.
In addition to the actions listed in the error messages table, you can also enter the
following types of commands to receive additional information when errors are
encountered or additional information is needed.
Command
Descriptions
The standard TDR6 remote commands are listed in the following table, which
provides the following information:
■ Remote command mnemonic
■ Parameter values or command response values
■ Factory DVB-compliant default value
■ Description of the command, including parameter definitions and the front
panel command equivalent
Commands used to set a parameter may also be used to query the current command. Use the
command mnemonic without a parameter and the TDR6 will return the current parameter setting.
The specific commands available depend on the option modules installed in your TDR6.
