CALL:SIGNaling:MS:TXLevel:FACCH

Function

GSM TA

THIS COMMAND IS OBSOLETE. Please use the command CALL:TCHannel:(FACCH|FACChannel):MS:TXLevel instead.

Sets/queries the TX Level FACCH Signaling parameter.

When TX Level FACCH Signaling is set to on, the base station emulator uses both a FACCH (Fast Associated Control CHannel) channel assignment and an update to the SACCH (Slow Associated Control CHannel) header to signal the mobile to change to a new power level.

When TX Level FACCH Signaling is set to off, the base station emulator uses only an update to the SACCH header to signal the mobile to change to a new power level. A FACCH channel assignment message is not sent. This setting is useful if you want to update the SACCH header's TX Level field without performing a channel assignment.

The setting of TX Level FACCH Signaling can be changed in either of the test set's two operating modes, Active Cell or Test mode.
