6600M API question

Tom Worthington

I've been experimenting with the API on my 6600M using Putty. Most of the commands execute as described however, whenever I try to send a SCU command, for example to set the scu filter (Command 19) I get the following (debug) response: 
"R19|50000021||Security fault; command not executed"
Is the software trying to prevent me from doing something dangerous (often a good idea) or do I need to do something to elevate my privileges?

Is there any possibility of getting an updated wiki for the 6600/6400 radios?

Thanks, Tom, NH6Y

What is the exact text of the command you're sending? I'll try it here (on my 6500) and tell you what I see.

While the SCU exists in the radio, it is abstracted and is only controlled through the various resources that use them (Panadapters, Slices, etc).  So I guess the question is what are you trying to accomplish?  Then I can probably help you with how to do it through the API.

One thing I wanted to do was to explore the effect of the filters and the scu commands allow turning them on and off without changing any other parameters on the radio.  I haven't discovered any other way to do this.

Unfortunately, this is something the API is designed to do automatically and it can't be changed given the interfaces that we have setup today.
