ARQE Immediate Command<br />

Mode: Command<br />

Host: As<br />

ARQE is an immediate command that switches the <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> into the ARQ-E receiving<br />

mode.<br />

ARQ-E is similar to 1-channel TDM, except that the 7-bit code is different.<br />

Like TDM most ARQ-E stations send idle signals for long periods of time. The<br />

<strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> can only phase on ARQ-E signals that are idling so this is not a problem.<br />

The SIGNAL Identification (SIAM) mode will identify ARQ-E signals for the user.<br />

They are identified as "TDM ARQ-E:4" or 'TDM ARQ-E:S,' referring to 4- and<br />

8character repetition cycles used in this mode.<br />

ARQTmo "n" Default: 60<br />

Mode: AMTOR, Pactor<br />

Host: AO<br />

Parameters:<br />

“n” - 0 to 250 specifies the number of seconds to send an ARQ SELCALL<br />

before automatic transmitter shutdown.<br />

ARQTMO sets the length of time during which your ARQ call will be sent, shutting<br />

down automatically. As a general rule, if you can't activate another AMTOR or<br />

Pactor station in the default time of 60 seconds, you can probably assume that<br />

the other station can't hear your transmission.<br />

ARQTOL “n" Default: 3<br />

Mode: AMTOR ARQ<br />

Host: AO<br />

Parameters:<br />

“n”'<br />

1 to 5, specifying a relative tolerance for bit boundary jitter.<br />

ARQTOL controls the tolerance for received bit boundary jitter in AMTOR ARQ mode.<br />

n is a number from 1 (tight tolerance) to 5 (loose tolerance). The number<br />

signifies how far away from the expected bit transition time the actual received<br />

transition may be, in tenths of a bit (milliseconds). If the transition occurs<br />

further away than expected, the received block is counted as an error, even if<br />

all three characters in the block appear to be valid AMTOR characters. The<br />

default value of ARQTOL 3 is the equivalent of the fixed tolerance of previous<br />

firmware releases.<br />

ARQTOL should be set to a low number (tighter tolerance) for applications that<br />

require nearly error-free communications. The tradeoff is that good received<br />

character blocks are counted as bad if the bit transitions are suspect, thereby<br />

causing retransmissions and lowering the effective character rate.<br />

ARQTOL does not affect FEC, SELFEC or ARQ Listen modes.<br />
