Slice Commands

Generated from FlexLib v4.2.18

Receiver slice control, tuning, and configuration

---

Wire Protocol

Commands follow the FlexRadio TCP wire protocol:

C[D]<seq_number>|<command> [sub-command] [parameters]

Where:

• C = Command prefix
• D = Optional debug flag
• <seq_number> = Sequence number for command tracking
• <command> = Primary command word
• [sub-command] = Optional sub-command
• [parameters] = Command-specific parameters

Responses follow the format:

R<seq_number>|<result_code>|<data>|[debug_info]

Where:

• R = Response prefix
• <seq_number> = Matching sequence number from command
• <result_code> = Result code (0 = success, non-zero = error)
• <data> = Command-specific response data
• [debug_info] = Optional debug information

Common Response Codes

Code	Meaning
0	Success
50000001	Unable to get foundation receiver assignment
50000003	License check failed
50000004	Parameter error
50000005	Incorrect number or type of parameters
50000016	Malformed command
5000002C	Incorrect number of parameters
50000032	Bad mode

Commands

slice m ... pan=0x...

Click Tune Request

Syntax:

C<seq>|slice m <clicked_freq_mhz> pan=0x<streamid>

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
<clicked_freq_mhz>
<streamid>

Response Example:

R<seq>|0||

slice create

Request Slice Blocking

Creates a new receiver slice. The radio returns the index of the created slice in the response data field.

A FLEX-6300 supports a maximum of 2 slices. A FLEX-6500 or FLEX-6700 supports up to 4. Attempting to create more slices than the radio supports returns an error response.

Response data: <index> — the zero-based index of the newly created slice.

Syntax:

C<seq>|slice create

Response Example:

R<seq>|0||

slice set

Sets one or more operational parameters on the specified slice receiver. Multiple parameter=value pairs may be sent in a single command.

Syntax:

C<seq>|slice set <index> <parameter>=<value>
