PK232CMD.LST (PART 4 OF 4)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
========================= MORSE COMMANDS ==============================
MORSE
PK232 is switched into Morse code mode.
MSPEED 'n' DEFAULT: 20 WPM
Sets the MORSE code keying speed for the PK232.
'n' = 5 to 99 WPM
For speeds between 5 and 14 WPM, code is sent with Farnsworth
spacing - the characters are actually sent at 15 WPM.
========================= BAUDOT COMMANDS =============================
BAUDOT
Switches PK232 into Baudot Rtty mode.
BITINV n DEFAULT: $00
MODE: Baudot RTTY
n = $00 to $1F (0 to 31 decimal) specifies a number to be
exclusive ORed with every received Baudot
character.
$00 = no bit imversion, print plain text.
CCITT (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
MODE: Baudot RTTY
ON - If code is 0, PK232 uses the CCITT ITA #2 code in Baudot.
OFF - If code is 0, PK232 uses the U.S. Teleprinter code
in Baudot.
CCITT has been replaced with the CODE command, but is
retained for compatibility reasons.
RBAUD 'n' DEFAULT: 45 bauds (60 WPM)
'n' specifies the RADIO baud rate for Baudot RTTY.
'n' can be 45, 50, 57, 75, 100, 110, 150, 200, 300 bauds.
USOS (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
ON - Letters (LTRS) case is forced after a space character.
OFF - Letters (LTRS) case is NOT forced after a space.
========================= AMTOR/FEC COMMANDS ==========================
ACHG
Forces a changeover from receive to transmit in the AMTOR
link.
ADELAY 'n' DEFAULT: 4
'n' = 1 to 9
'n' specifies transmitter key up delay in ten millisecond
intervals.
ADELAY is the time between the instant the PTT line is
activated for xmit, and the instant when ARQ data actually
begins to flow to the transmitter.
ALIST
Switches PK232 into ARQ listen mode. (Mode L).
AMTOR
Switches PK232 into ARQ standby/receive mode.
Any FEC (Mode B) transmissions will be displayed.
ARQ aaaa
Starts a Mode A SELCAL to a distant station.
aaaa = the distant station's selective calling code.
ARQTMO 'n' DEFAULT: 60
'n' = 0 to 250
'n' = number of seconds to send an ARQ selcal before
automatic transmitter shutdown.
FEC Puts PK232 in AMTOR Mode B.
Use this mode to send an AMTOR CQ.
Include your SELCAL in your transmitted FEC message so that
other stations can call you in Mode A (ARQ).
MYALTCAL aaaa DEFAULT: Empty
aaaa specifies an Alternate SELCAL code.
aaaa can be any 4 alphabetical characters or numeric strings
of either 4 or 5 characters.
MYSELCAL aaaa DEFAULT: empty
Specifies your selective calling code (SELCAL)
SELCAL must be specified before you can use AMTOR mode.
Rules for determining your SELCAL:
Group Call Selcal
---------------------------
1 by 2 W1XX WWXX
1 by 3 W1XXX WXXX
2 by 1 AB1X AABX
2 by 2 AB1XX ABXX
2 by 3 KA1XXX KXXX
MYIDENT aaaaaaa DEFAULT: empty
aaaaaaa specifies the user's seven character SELCAL as
described in CCIR Rec. 625.
The PK232 now supports 7 character selcal's in AMTOR mode.
RFEC (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
Prevents the reception of all FEC signals while in AMTOR
standby mode.
ON - Mode B FEC signals are displayed while in AMTOR standby.
OFF - Mode B FEC signals are not displayed.
SELFEC aaaa DEFAULT: empty
aaaa specifies a distant station's selective calling code
(SELCAL).
SELFEC starts a selective FEC (mode Bs) transmission to
the specified distant station, when you enter that station's
SELCAL code.
SRXALL (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
Permits the reception of selectively coded inverse FEC signals
normally not available for decoding.
ON - Receive all selective (SELFEC) transmissions.
OFF - Receive only SELCAL addressed SELFEC transmissions.
========================= TDM COMMANDS ================================
TDBAUD n DEFAULT: 96
n specifies the data rate (speed in bauds) of the TDM signal
you are receiving.
n = 0 to 200 but only some of these are legal values.
1-channel: 48, 72, 96 are legal.
2-channel: 86, 96, 100 are legal.
4-channel: 171, 192, 200 are legal.
TDCHAN n DEFAULT: 0
n specifies the TDM channel number.
n selects the data channel to seperate out from the multiplexed
TDM signal. n can be 0-3.
1-channel: No effect.
2-channel: 0 and 2 show channel A.
1 and 3 show channel B.
4-channel: 0 shows channel A.
1 shows channel B.
2 shows channel C.
3 shows channel D.
TDM
Selects TDM mode (Moore Code).
Use SIGNAL to check that received signal is really TDM.
If TDM is detected, type "OK".
AMTOR STATUS LED's are as follows:
STBY: Trying to establish bit phasing.
PHASE: Bit phasing established, trying to synchronize on
characters.
OVER: Character synchronization established.
TFC: Printable character received.
IDLE: Idling signals received.
RQ: Error character of $00 or $7F received.
ERROR: Other bad character received.
The PHASE LED stays lit if the signal is too weak to
achieve synchronization. Use the "R" command to force
manual sync. Repeated use of the "R" command causes the
bit synchronization to move along by one bit for each "R"
command.
"L" forces letters shift as in Baudot mode..
"N" forces figsures shift as in baudot mode.
TRACE ON displays these characters:
| = NULL
* = LTRS
% = FIGS
a = Alpha Idle
b = Beta Idle
r = Signal Repetition
Some TDM Frequencies: 19,101.9 LSB
18,983.6 USB
14.956.7 USB
TDM stations idle most of the time. You may have to
monitor a TDM station for an hour or more before any data
is received.
========================= FAXCIMILE COMMANDS ==========================
ASPECT n DEFAULT: 2
Controls the aspect ratio (length to width) of a FAX image.
n = 1 to 6 specifies the number of FAX scan lines that the
PK232 prints out, for every 6 lines received.
For most weather charts ASPECT 2 works well.
To stretch the image down the page, use a higher setting
for ASPECT such as 4.
The Index Of Cooperation is an International measure of
aspec ratio.
The CCITT IOC is:
IOC = (Vertical scan line density) * (horizontal width) / pi
The IEEE ICO is:
IOC = (Vertical scan line density) * (horizontal width)
ASPECT CCITT IOC (Narrow) CCITT IOC (WIDE)
---------------------------------------------------------------
1 1100 1788
2 550 (Weather charts 576) 894
3 367 (Wirephotos 352) 596 (Weather charts 576)
4 275 (WEFAX Satellite 288) 447
5 220 358 (Wirephotos 352)
6 183 298 (WEFAX Satellite)
In receive, ASPECT 2 causes the PK232 to sample 2 out of
every 6 lines received. ASPECT 4 causes PK232 to sample 4
out of every 6 lines received.
In transmit, ASPECT 2 causes PK232 to send every line 3 times.
ASPECT 4 causes PK232 to send even lines twice and odd lines
once. When sending from one PK232 to another, it's best to
run the same aspect ratio on both pk232's.
DISPLAY (F)ax Displays all FAX related parameters.
FAX
Switches PK232 into Facsimile mode. PK232 starts in FAX
standby, waiting to detect sync pulses that start a frame.
FAXNEG (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
ON - The white and black senses are reversed.
OFF - The white and black senses are normal.
FAXNEG is not the same as RXREV. RXREV inverts the entire
signal, including the sync pulses. FAXNEG keeps the sync
pulses upright, but inverts the image data only.
FSPEED 'n' DEFAULT: 2 (2 lines/second)
'n' = 0 to 4 selects the FAX horizontal scan rate, in
lines per minute.
FSPEED (Highest print density Usable) narrow carrage wide carrage
1 1 line/sec 60 lines/min 275 dpi 169 dpi
2 2 lines/sec 120 lines/min 138 dpi 85 dpi
3 3 lines/sec 180 lines/min 92 dpi 56 dpi
4 4 lines/sec 240 lines/min 69 dpi 42 dpi
0 1.5 lines/sec 90 lines/min 183 dpi 113 dpi
GRAPHICS 'n' DEFAULT: 1 (960 dots)
'n' = 0 to 6 selects the FAX horizontal graphics dot
density printed on the printer.
(See dot density Tables on pages M14 and M15 in PK232 manual)
JUSTIFY 'n'
Moves FAX image closer to the edge of the paper.
'n' = 0 to 25 number of 1/2 inches that the FAX image is
to be moved closer to the edge of the paper.
If LEFTRITE is ON, JUSTIFY 1 will move the image 1/2 inch
to the left.
If LEFTRITE is OFF, JUSTIFY will move the image 'n' half
inches to the right.
If the PK232 is allowed to synchronize by itself, JUSTIFY
should not be needed.
LEFTRITE (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
ON - The signal is scanned from left to right.
OFF - The signal is scanned from right to left.
LEFTRITE reverses the horizontal scanning direction.
LEFTRITE is useful for printing wirephotos.
LOCK
Tells the PK232 to start printing regardless of whether or
not the facsimile sync pulses have been detected.
LOCK is a manual start command for FAX.
Sync pulses consist of of lines of 5% white and 95% black,
with the beginning of the white pulse signifying the left
edge of the following image.
If you issue a LOCK command to start FAX printing, you will
probably need to use JUSTIFY to properly allign the image.
OPMODE FAX STBY RCVE PK232 is searching for sync pulses to start
printing the next image.
OPMODE FAX SYNC RCVE PK232 has detected the sync pulses, or
synchronization has been forced with the LOCK
command, and PK232 should be starting to
print the next image.
OPMODE FAX STBY SEND PK232 is idling or sending the 300 Hz motor
start tone, before it sends the sync pulses,
or that it is sending the 450 Hz stop tone.
OPMODE FAX SYNC SEND PK232 is sending either sync pulses or image
dots. If the computer has not yet sent the
image data to the PK232, PK232 will transmit
a white tone continuously.
PRCON (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: OFF
Tells the PK232 whether or not a parallel printer is
connected via the special "Y" facsimile cable.
ON - A paralle printer is connected to the PK232 via the
special FAX "Y" cable. The mode led's are disabled,
and may stay lit or flash randomly.
OFF - There is no paralle printer connected, or it is not
currently in use. The mode led's are enabled, and
correctly show operating mode and status.
PRFAX (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
ON - FAX bit graphics are sent to the parallel printer for
immediate printing if PRCON is also ON.
OFF - FAX bit graphics are sent to the terminal via the serial
port, using the printer escape codes, as set by PRTYPE
and GRAPHICS.
PRFAX should be sent to on if a parallel printer is connected
and in use for printing FAX pictures.
If you wish to save the FAX graphics data to disk, set PRFAX
OFF and make sure AWLEN is set to 8 to allow 8-bit data
to be sent to the serial port.
PRTYPE 'n' DEFAULT: 2 (Epson)
'n' = 0 to 255 specifies a code for the type of dot
graphics sequences used by your printer.
(See pg M-19 of PK232 manual for list of PRTYPE codes.)
XMIT TRANSMITS FAX DATA
Keys the radio PTT line and prepares the radio to receive
outbound FAX data. PRFAX must be OFF, AWLEN must be 8, and
PARITY must be 0.
========================= ASCII COMMANDS ==============================
ABAUD 'n' DEFAULT: 110 Baud
Specifies data rate from PK232 to radio.
'n' = Baud Rate (45, 50, 57, 100,110, 150, 200, 300, 400,
600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600)
ASCII Switches PK232 into Ascii Rtty Mode.
======================= SIGNAL (SIAM) COMMANDS =======================
BITINV n DEFAULT: $00
MODE: Baudot RTTY
n = $00 to $1F (0 to 31 decimal) specifies a number to be
exclusive ORed with every received Baudot
character.
$00 = no bit imversion, print plain text.
CCITT (ON/OFF) DEFAULT: ON
MODE: Baudot RTTY
ON - If code is 0, PK232 uses the CCITT ITA #2 code in Baudot.
OFF - If code is 0, PK232 uses the U.S. Teleprinter code
in Baudot.
CCITT has been replaced with the CODE command, but is
retained for compatibility reasons.
OK
Accepts a set of parameters found using the SIGNAL command.
Changes (or can change) RXREV, RBAUD, ABAUD, and OPMODE
to the values found in using the SIGNAL command.
======================= NAVTEX MODE =================================
NAVMSG all, none, Yes/No (letters) DEFAULT: All
Determines which type of NAVTEX messages your PK232 will
print.
all - print all types of NAVTEX messages.
none - PK232 prints no NAVTEX messages.
Yes (list) - PK232 prints only those types of NAVTEX
messages specified by "list".
NO (list) - PK232 prints all NAVTEX messages EXCEPT those
specified by "list".
A. Navigational Warnings
B. Meteorological Warnings (Storm Warnings).
C. Ice Reports.
D. Search and Rescue Information.
E. Weather Forecasts.
F. Pilot Service Messages.
G. DECCA System Information.
H. Loran-C System Information.
I. OMEGA Systems Messages.
J. SATNAV System Messages.
K-Z Reserved for future use.
(up to 13 letter types can be monitored or rejected, and
letters can be seperated by spaces commas or TABS)
Types A,B and D cannot be excluded, and will always be
monitored.
NAVMSG is cleared by %, & or OFF
NAVSTN all, none, Yes/No (letters) DEFAULT: All
NAVTEX stations are identified by the first letter in the
preamble. NAVSTN allows ALL, NONE, or up to 13 letters
representing NAVTEX transmitting stations to be monitored
or rejected.
Letters in the list can be seperated by spaces, commas or
TABS.
NAVSTN is cleared by %, &, or OFF as arguments.
NAVTEX
Switches PK232 into NAVTEX receive mode.
NAVTEX stations are found on 518 Khz.
NAVTEX is a special for of mode B FEC, that does not
output data to the computer or printer until "ZCZC" and
a preamble are received intact. The preamble consists of 2
letters and 2 numerals. The PK232 will print until the
end-of-message indicator "NNNN" is received.
The first 2 letters define the transmitting station and the
message class respectively.
The following 2 numerals form a serial number that is
remembered by the PK232, when a message is copied intact.
The PK232 remembers the preambles of the last 200 printed
messages, and will not re-print a message with the same
preamble with the following exceptions:
Any message with the preamble 00 is considered an
emergency message, and will always be printed.
Any message with more than 1/8 of it's characters
received in error will not be saved, so that it
may be re-printed.
To clear preamble memory, exit, then re-enter NAVTEX
mode.
NAVTEX mode uses the setting of DAYTIME to print the
date/time in front of the preamble, if MSTAMP and or
DAYSTAMP are ON.
NAVTEX NOTES: Navtex is broadcast in Mode-B AMTOR (SITOR)
on 518 khz.
======================== ASYNC PORT PARAMETERS ========================
SYNCING PC to PK232
If PK232 has batteries installed, and a TBAUD baud rate has already
been set, the AUTObaud routine will never come up.
You must match the TBAUD baud rate with the COM port UART baud rate
to communicate with the PK232.
If PK232 does NOT have batteries installed, upon power up, it will
transmit "Please Type * For Autobaud Routine" (at 1200 baud- default).
At this point, you must send ONLY a "*", with no <CR> to sync the
Pk232 with your baud rate. (several *'s may be required).
The PK232 defaults to 1200 baud when TBAUD has never been set, or
at power on, with no batteries installed.
