USB Cable Commands

Generated from FlexLib v4.2.18

USB cable port configuration and control

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
