xcAT - Configuration - Yaesu, Kenwood

Below is the current configuration for my FTdx101D.

Clicking  READ from enCAT produced the displayed data. (Clicking Load would do the same)

Summary of configuration data fields;  
( CAT value is the numeric read from and written back to the radio. It may differ from the OLED display)

• active  -  Check this to make the encoder active.
• encoder  - Encoder number  0 - 7.  (Encoders are referenced to connections on the schematic)
• description  -  Descriptive text.  Identifies the encoder in configuration, disc file and OLED display.
• units  -  Optional units for the OLED display.
• step  -  The increment (or decrement) to the CAT value (eg:  RF power 0 - 100w in steps of 5w)
• max value - The maximum CAT value. ( Keeps EncoderCAT in the radio's CAT range)
• min value  - The minimum CAT value.    ( Keeps EncoderCAT in the radio's CAT range)
• read chars  - The number of chars transmitted when requesting the CAT value from the radio.
• ans chars  -  The number of characters received in a CAT value response from the radio.
• set chars  -  The number of characters transmitted when sending a CAT value to the radio.
• mult  -    Mult and div default to 1 but can be used to scale the OLED displayed value.
• div           - the displayed value is:   (CAT value  x   mult) / div  (Only affects the display)
• decp   - Number of decimal places.   Default = 0.   eg:  decp = 3   changes 75 to 0.075.
• lookup  -  If checked, then CAT value is used as a lookup index for the encoder's lookup list.
• read mask  -  The character pattern of a read request.   eg:   PC; (no data here)    see:  masks
• set mask  -  The character pattern of a set request.  eg: PChtu;      see:   masks
• answer mask  -  The character pattern for received data following a read request,   eg: PChtu;

RS232 parameters:  Baudrate, bits/char, stop bits and parity must match the settings on the radio.

Display panel is left unchecked if there is no OLED display.  

Display contrast for SSD1306 display drivers has range 0-255.

Title is used  to identify the configuration. ( 27 chars max.  Lookups have a separate title.)
