£AT
System Programming
The FT-IOO's
~AT
System allows the transceiver to be controlled by a personal com-
puter. This allows multiple control operations to be fully automated as a single mouse
click, or it allows a third-party software package (such as contest logging software) to
communicate with the
FT-IOO
without (redundant) operator intervention.
The Optional
~AT
Interface Cable
CT
-62
is
a connection cable for the FT -100 and your
computer. The
CT-62
has a built-in level converter, allowing direct connection from the
rear panel ACC Cable
Pigtail to the serial port
of
your computer, without the need for an
external RS-232C level converter box.
Yaesu Musen does not produce
~AT
System operating software, due to the wide variety
of
personal computers, operating systems, and applications
in
use today. However, the FT-
100 (and other Yaesu products) are widely supported by third-party software packages,
and we recommend that you contact your dealer for advice, or check advertisements in
amateur radio journals. Most software vendors also have Home
Pages on the World Wide
Web which contain a wealth
of
information on the features and radio support for their
software packages.
The information presented
in
this section will allow the programmer to understand the
command structure and opcodes used
in
the FT-!
OO's
~AT
System.
