the most important software commands for

ICE-operation

12/22


Set Alarmmask

Definition of the severity level for an alarm. According to the

syntax of the Set Alarmmask command the followingALARMMASKSTRING is added:

-ICE

After first power on the ICE alarmmask is set to critical (CRI).

ICE Set Operation

The operation of ICE can be set. That means you can either enable or disable ICE.

Request : ICE SET OPERATION [ChannelModule][Mode]

Response: ENTER CHANNEL MODULE (1-8): [ChannelModule]

SET ICE OPERATION MODE:E - ENABLE OPERATION

D - DISABLE OPERATIONenter choice: [Choice]

where : [ChannelModule] is an even number between 1 and 8

[Operation] is either enable or disable.

ErrorMessage: VALUE ERROR in case - ChannelModule 1 to 8

in case - Choice E or D

After first power on the ICE operation mode is enabled.

ICE Set Control

The gain control can be either enabled or disabled.

Request : ICE SET CONTROL [ChannelModule][Control]

Response: ENTER CHANNEL MODULE (1-8): [ChannelModule]

SET CONTROL : dis AUTOMATIC SETTING DISABLED (DIS)

ags AUTOMATIC GAIN SETTING (AGS)

enter choice: [Choice]


ErrorMessage: VALUE ERROR in case - ChannelModule 1 to 8

- Choice DIS or AGS

After first power on the control is set to AUTOMATIC SETTING DISABLED

ICE Set Delay

This command sets the delay of the ICE module with highest priority and must not be changed by

automatic setting!

Request : ICE SET DELAY [ChannelModule][Delay in ns]

Response:

ENTER CHANNEL MODULE (1-8): [ChannelModule]

SELECT DELAY IN ns (270, 320, 370, 420, 470, 520, 570, 620): [Delay]


[Delay] is one of the following: 270, 320, 370, 420, 470, 520, 570, 620 ns

ErrorMessage: DELAYTIME NOT AVAILABLE in case - 220ns > Delay > 620ns

- Delay available delay lines

After first power on the proper value must be the selected due to corresponding delay line which is available or

370 ns in case of all delay lines integrated in the ICE module.

16/22


ICE SETUP

This command calculates the delay of the ICE-Module

Request : ICE setup

Response:

ENTER CHANNEL MODULE (1-8): [ChannelModule]

ENTER ANTENNA SPACING IN METERS (0-200) : [distance in m]

ENTER TOTAL CABLE LENGTH IN METER (0-200) : [length in m]

ENTER PROPAGATION VELOCITY IN % (1-100) : [in %]

The software calculates the DELAY and activates the DELAY-LINE.

If the correct Delay-line is not integrated in the ICE-module, the error

message DELAY LINE NOT AVAILABLE is returned.

In case, the calculated DELAY is not possible (delay-time670ns) the error message DELAY TIME NOT AVAILABLE is returned.

ICE Set Power-On Time

This command sets an internal timer which is activated after an oscillation-conditioned

power down.

Request : ICE SET POTIME [ChannelModule][Delay in ns]

Response:

ENTER TIME IN min (15-60): [Time]

where : [Time] is an even number between 15 to 60

ErrorMessage: VALUE ERROR in case 15 > Time > 60 min.
