Carrier frequency equals

Response Code:

Binary: [1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1] [0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0] [carrier period (CP)] [carrier period (CC)]

Description:

CP contains a prescaler value and CC the carrier period in 1/5 microsecond steps. The actual carrier period will be:

period = (2^CP)*(CC+1)*0.2us,    frequency = 1 / period

Normally the prescaler value CP can only range from 0 to 3, which multiplies the period by 1,2,4 or 8. Setting CP and CC to 0 will cause the Slink-e to use no carrier at all (ie. no light modulation, just constant ON and OFF periods). The period count value CC can be any number from 0 to 255. Slink-e will return a carrier period equals response to verify your command. At startup CP =0 and CC=124, giving a 25us carrier period (40kHz carrier frequency).
