BITIn the BIT (built>in test) it is checked whether all modules of
the basic unit are installed and operative. If required, error
messages are output which may also inform on the operating
status of the installed options. In addition, the Tx and Rx paths
are checked. The BIT is initiated either through switch>on or on
purpose during operation by pressing softkey BIT in the MAIN
menu.
CMIn CM (continuous monitoring) all important equipment
functions are permanently monitored. This check is automatic.
Error messages are output following which the operator can

1.1.1General
Note:
In the text which follows only data link>
relevant functions are described. All other
functions are dealt with in the User Manual
(6045.6712.12.xx).
Local control is carried out via
fKeys with a fix function (hardkeys),
fMulti>functional keys (softkeys),
fSwitches,
fControls and a
fTuning knob.
All essential receiver settings can be entered di>
rectly:

will be displayed again.
For EK 895 only:
The softkeys obtain their different functions
either by selection from the menu (software)
or via previous actuation of the ENT key (separ>
ate functions menu 1).
The LEDs assigned to keys FRQ and CH indicate
which function the tuning knob and the nu>
meric keypad currently have an effect upon. If
the LED assigned to key FRQ is illuminated, the
stepwidth of the tuning knob can be altered by
means of the cursor control keys (Æ and ¨).
Once the maximum or minimum value is
reached, turning the tuning knob further will
have no effect on the indication (this does not
apply to the channel number!).
For entries via the numeric keypad the follow>
ing should be observed:
fEntries can be corrected at any time by ac>
tuation of key CLR.
fEntry of leading zeros is not required (0.04
= .04).
fEntry of zeros following the decimal point
is not required (1 = 1.000).
fComplete entries are to be terminated by
actuating key ENT or softkey ENT or NEXT.

up where one of the following modulation
modes is stored:
LLLULILLIU
In the MANUAL mode the different software
levels may be called up without affecting the
receive operation.
For all manipulations with the exception of sys>
tem reset, store and clear, the stored channel
contents remain unchanged.
Complete receiver settings, consisting of fre>
quency and modulation mode, can be stored in
a single channel.
1.1.3.2.1FIXED CHANNEL
In the operating mode FIXED CHANNEL it is
possible to call up only those channels which
were previously stored. All other operating
functions are blocked. However, this does not
apply to remote operation.
The operating mode FIXED CHANNEL can only
be activated and deactivated by entering a
password.

2.Remote Control
Note:
In the text which follows only the data link>relevant commands are described. All other com>
mands are dealt with in the User Manual (6045.6712.12.xx).
2.1General
The commands entered on the computer have to be in a specific format. The format or the com>
mand block consists of up to 150 characters. Each command block begins with the ASCII character
LF (= line feed, 10
(= carriage return, 13
r<command block>?
in the following represented by r) and ends with the ASCII character CR
dec,
in the following represented by ?).
dec,
The ASCII character LF is followed by the equipment address in addressed operation or the first
command in unaddressed operation. Addresses from A01 to A99 are admissible. In addressed
operation the equipment address is followed by the first command.
Addressed operation
r<address><command 1><command 2> ... <command x>?
Command blocks beginning with the address A00 are accepted by all receivers, regardless of the
set receiver address.
Unaddressed operation
r<command 1><command 2> ... <command x>?
The command itself consists of a code and up to 21 parameters. Consecutive parameters have to
be separated by a comma. For parameter entry guiding zeros and the plus sign can be omitted.
The code consists of up to five capital letters. The parameters may come as numerical parameter
(numbers and the minus sign), character (small letter) and the question mark. The question mark
(?) signals that a reply is requested.
The reply consists of the code followed by the question mark and the setting value(s). The
reply(ies) is (are) inserted into a reply block, the sequence is not required to be the same as for the
command block. The reply block begins with the ASCII character F (r) and ends with the ASCII
character CR (?). In addressed operation LF is followed by the equipment address. Leading zeros
are not integrated into the reply.
Consecutive commands without parameters are to be separated by a blank (in the following rep>
resented by
e.g.: r<command 1>≤≥<command 2>?
≤≥
).

Operator Manual f Operating Modes
2.2Operating Modes
The receiver can be operated in the following
two operating modes:
fMANUAL
fCHANNEL
2.2.1MANUAL
In the MANUAL mode no channel is set.
For the basic settings of the VLF>HF receiver the
following codes are possible:
fF (frequency)
fI (modulation mode)
The possible special functions are characterized
by the following codes:
fL (receive level)
fPL (level line)
fP (level line status)
fC (CM status)
fBI (BIT status)
fST (storage into channel)
fK, CL, RS (editing of channel contents)
fPA (preamplifier)
fSE (switching digital selection on or off,
with FK 896 only)
The possible system functions are characterized
by the following codes:
fA (address)
fV (software version)
fFIB (IF filter)
fOP (options)
fSA (signal BYPASS)
fIF (IF signal)
fM (operating status)
fERR (error status)
fRESET (software reset)
fREM (local control)
fIDENT (software type and Ident. No.)
Via the command Ks<parameter> a channel
can be called up, and the receiver is auto>
matically in the CHANNEL mode (see 2.2.2).
2.2.2CHANNEL
In the CHANNEL mode there is a channel set.
In channel operation, as in the MANUAL mode
(see 2.2.1), it is possible to execute
fSpecial functions and
fSystem functions.
If one of the basic settings (frequency or
modulation mode) is altered, the receiver auto>
matically operates in the MANUAL mode (see
2.2.1).
