Serial Protocol for the STn00 and SRn00 devices
Issue 2
Date 5/6/00
Introduction
This document describes the serial protocol for re-programming the STn00
and SRn00 range of transmitter and receiver modules.
There is an important difference between the VHF and the UHF products
which concerns the Intermediate Frequency (IF) used.
To differentiate between the ST and SR each has a unique product code.
For the SRn00 this is 0F6 hex and for STn00 it is 0F5 hex.
Data Format
Two baud rates are used for differing functions. Throughout this document,
which one is being used is given. The two baud rates are:
Baud rate 19,200, 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, no parity
Baud rate 1,200, 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, no parity
The internal PIC is running an RC clock which can vary considerable with
component tolerance and temperature. To overcome this, a serial protocol is
used which looks a the input waveform from the PC as a pulse, the duration
of which determines whether the input data is a binary 1 or 0. If the baud rate
is 19,200, the data byte to be transmitted to the radio is as follows:
0 (decimal)
255 (decimal)
binary 0
binary 1
During readback the data can vary and so must be interpreted as follows:
Value < 241 (dec) = binary 0
Value $ 241 (dec) = binary 1
For the one data byte, 8 bytes must be sent representing each bit.
If the baud rate is 1,200, then the data sent is a normal 8 bit byte.
Note: throughout the document the value of the data is given assuming an
RS232 interface. If TTL or similar logic levels are used then the data
must be inverted.

Definitions
The following give details of the terms used thoughout this document.
3.1
Fosc
This is the value of the Reference Oscillator in the radio. This is NOT
programmable and the value is not stored in EEPROM. Currently there are
two types used by the ST/SRn00 units:
12.8 and 14.85 MHz.
3.2
Fc
Fc is the Comparison Frequency used by the synthesizer in the radio. This is
a programmable parameter, but care should be taken if it is changed,
because the synthesiser hardware is optimized for certain values of Fc. The
Fc in use with the ST/SRn00 family vary for the different applications, but is
one of these discrete values:
5, 6.25, 10, 12.5 ,20 or 25 KHz
(refer to Wood & Douglas for the actual values allowed).
Fc is not directly stored as a number in the radio’s EEPROM. It is rather
indirectly stored as the “Rvalue” (see below).
3.3
Rvalue
This number is the result of the division:
Rvalue = Fosc / Fc
Since the ST/SRn00 family can have one of two Fosc: 12.8 or 14.85 MHz, the
possible Rvalues for the radio are:
If Fosc= 12.8MHz:
RR1(5)
RR1(6.25)
RR1(10)
RR1(12.5)
RR1(20)
RR1(25)
2560 (dec), A00 (hex)
2048 (dec), 800 (hex)
1280 (dec), 500 (hex)
1024 (dec), 400 (hex)
640 (dec), 280 (hex)
512 (dec), 200 (hex)
3
If Fosc= 14.85MHz:
RR2(5)
RR2(6.25)
RR2(10)
RR2(12.5)
RR2(20)
RR2(25)
2970 (dec), B9A (hex)
2376 (dec), 948 (hex)
1485 (dec), 5CD (hex)
1188 (dec), 4A4 (hex)
NOT possible (result is not integer no.)
594 (dec), 252 (hex)
From above it is clear that we have 11 possible values for the combination of
2 Fosc and 6 Fc’s. When the Rvalue is read from the unit the current Fc and
Fosc. can be determined from these values.
Note: Rvalue is stored as 2 bytes in EEPROM locations 61, 62
3.4
IF
IF is the Intermediate Frequency of the receiver. Its value for the STn00
family is always zero, but for the SRn00 family is as follows:
SRn00 with frequency range < 200 MHz:, “High Side” (+45 MHz)
SRn00 with frequency range > 200 MHz, “Low Side” (- 45 MHz).
STn00, any frequency IF = 0
Note: The IF value is not stored in the unit’s EEPROM. The type of ST or
SRn00 must be known before programming can be carried out.
Channel Information and Storage
For both the ST and SRn00 family, 16 random and 112 sequential channels
can be stored in the non-volatile EEPROM memory area of the internal PIC
processor. Channels 0 - 15 are stored individually in the EEPROM and
channels 16 - 127 are calculated from the start frequency and the table step
increment.
In principle frequency is stored in a two byte format plus the high byte offset.
The data stored is not the frequency itself, but the frequency divided by the
Fc. In other words if the desired frequency for the random channel N is
Freq(N), then the value stored is F(N) where F(N) is calculated as:
F(N) =
[Freq(N) + IF] / Fc
The result is stored as:
EEPROM(60)
= int [F(N)/65536] *256
high byte offset
EEPROM(N)
= int [F(N)/256] - EEPROM(60)
msb
EEPROM(N + 16)
= F(N)- [EEPROM(60) + EEPROM(N)] *256 lsb
4
5
Or if a read-back is performed, the frequency on channel N is calculated as:
Freq(N) = {{{[ EEPROM(60)+ EEPROM(N)]*256 }+ EEPROM(N+16)} - IDF }*Fc Hz
where IDF = IF/Fc
Similarly, for the Sequential table start, if desired frequency is FreqS, then:
FS = [FreqS + IF] / Fc
and the result is stored as:
EEPROM(56) = int[FS/65536] *256
high byte offset
EEPROM(57) = int[FS/256] - Eeprom(56)
msb
EEPROM(58) = FS- [EEPROM(56) + Eeprom(57)] *256
lsb
The sequential table step is stored in location 57 as a multiple of Fc
The sequential table is limited by the value stored in location 51 (0-111), but
it can not exceed 111. If the value is > 111 then limit should be imposed as
follows:
MaxCh = EEPROM(51)
If MaxCh > 111 then
MaxCh = 111
endif
Sequential ch. Limit
Limit MaxCh Number to 111 !
If read-back is performed, the Start of the Sequential table is calculated as:
SeqFreqStart = {{{[ EEPROM(56)+ EEPROM(57)]*256 }+ EEPROM(58)}- IDF }*Fc
where IDF = IF/Fc
this is Intermediate Frequency as a multiple of Fc
And a sequential table step is:
SeqFreqStep = EEPROM(59)*Fc [Hz]

EEPROM locations
The PIC processor used in the STn00 and SRn00 units has an area of nonvolatile memory EEPROM area. The contents of this data is given in the
following table:

is the one defined in loc. 63 of EEPROM and is written using PC and
serial interface. In parallel mode the switch in the unit (D0 to D2
lines) defines channel selected by the unit. In parallel mode only ch.

Command Types
There are 3 types of packet to be sent to the radio from the PC:
Short packet
Long packet
Direct packet
These are described in the following sections.
6.1
Short packet
This is used to send out single instruction to the radio to carry out functions
like setting serial or parallel mode of operation, setting the serial channel
number etc.
For the short packet the 8 data bytes to be transmitted are:
COM
chkH
chkL
product ID. For the SRn00 = 0F6 hex and for STn00 = 0F5 hex
EEPROM address or DATA1
EEPROM data byte or DATA2
not used (0) or DATA3
not used (0) or DATA4
command byte
check sum hi byte } A + B + C + D + COM
check sum lo byte }
Note: This data is sent out at 19200 baud as detailed in section 2. Each
data byte within the packet should be separated by 10 to 15 msec.
delay and the delay between 2 successive packets should be > 100
msec.
The Command (COM) byte is defined as follows:
6.1.1 COM # 63 dec
This denotes a long packet as described in section 6.2 for re-programming
the EEPROM area.
6.1.2 COM = 64 dec
This is the direct packet mode as described in section 6.3 and is used to
change the channel of the unit.
8
6.1.3 COM = 66 dec
This invokes the EEPROM read-back mode. After this command and a
packet, the radio will respond with a reading back of the whole content of the
EEPROM (64 bytes), one after another, without any address bytes etc.
The data returned from the radio is at 19,200 as defined in section 2 of this
document.
6.1.4 COM = 67 dec
This invokes the single byte programming of the EEPROM where:
EEPROM address
EEPROM data
This is used to change the mode of operation (Serial / Parallel) or for the
setting of the serial channel number.
As an example, to set the parallel mode of operation only, the following
packet must be sent:
COM
chkH
chkL
chr(0F6) hex for SRn00 or chr(0F5) hex for STn00
EEPROM address byte chr(54 dec)
EEPROM data byte chr(255) for parallel
not used (0)
not used (0)
chr(67) dec
chr(1)
chr(120 dec) } for parallel mode (total check sum 376 dec.)
For setting the serial channel, two packets must be sent. First the short
packet must be sent with B data = 253, followed by the Direct packet as
shown in section 6.3.
6.1.5 COM = 70 dec
This resets the radio and should be sent at the end of the Long packet after
the EEPROM contents have been re-programmed.
9
6.2
Long Packet
The Long packet mode is intended to re-write the entire EEPROM area of the
unit (64 locations). The format is similar to the short packet with a few
differences as shown below:
COM
Product ID. For the SRn00 = 0F6 hex and for STn00 = 0F5 hex
EEPROM DATA1 (from addr COM + 0)
EEEPROM DATA2 (from addr. COM +1)
EEPROM DATA3 (from addr. COM +2)
EEPROM DATA4 (from addr. COM +3)
command byte = EEPROM address of the first data byte in a
block
chkH check sum hi byte }A + B + C + D + COM
chkL check sum lo byte }
16 packets like above are expected once started, covering all 64 EEPROM
locations.
Note: This data is sent out at 19200 baud as detailed in section 2. There
should be > 15 msec delay between bytes and > 100 msec. in between
packets.
A short packet (with COM = 70) should be sent at the end of the Long packet
to reset the device.
6.3
Direct Packet
Currently there is only one “Direct packet” in use and it is intended for the
channel number change.. This 3 byte packet is sent at 1,200 baud as
detailed in section 2. The form of the data packet is as follows:
chr(64 dec)
chr(Channel Number)
chr(149 dec)
