COM/ID - COM/ID Type

Toggles the COM/ID Type.

Code - When set to CODE, the signal generator plays the code associated with the COM/ID Code.

Tone - When set to TONE, the COM/ID Code setting is disabled and the signal generator plays a continuous tone based on the COM/ID Frequency setting.

COM/ID - COM/ID Code

Specify a valid COM/ID code (airport identification code) by typing a 3-character code enclosed in single-quotes or double-quotes (for example, ‘STS’ or “STS”). COM/ID Code is set to default value i.e STS.

COM/ID Code:

Example: If you specify a value ‘abc’ in the COM/ID Code and then change the value to ‘ab1’ then it should hold the previous value i.e ‘abc’ because the combination of characters and alphabets are not allowed.

COM/ID - Period

Sets the period of the COM/ID signal in seconds. The default value of this setting is 2.6 s.

There is a relation between the morse length and this Period setting. For example, if you specify STS in the COM/ID Code, its morse length is 2.2 s and that is the minimum value of Period.

You can specify any value greater than 2.2 s. The value less than 2.2 sec is not permitted. If you specify a value less than 2.2 sec, the value will be automatically set to the minimum required value.
