Hello,
Thank you to all who responded.
I was playing with the idea that apart from the offset setting,
retrieving and storing it in the EEPROM, probably there were
undocumented commands for other functions like knowing the status and
health of the unit, like on other Rubidiums or the analog outputs in the
FRS series. Some programs that I had downloaded and stored waiting
until I had time to put the FE-5680A into use were in fact for the
programmable variety, like "Ruby4.exe".
I was looking for something as the program "fe5680_info_win32.exe" from
Newell N5TNL mentioned in this list on Jan 25 2012, that dumps a lot of
info from the unit but with the commands and responses translated to
plain language. In fact I´m not sure if this program applies to my
FE-5680A or it is intended for the programmable output ones.
For setting the calibration offset I use "Fe5680Calibrator.exe" which is
on this line but it do not send other commands.
And I don't have any source others than the Fabio Eboli's Python scripts
already mentioned.
Best regards,
Ignacio EB4APL

I added a command to display or change the frequency offset to my
ZCOMM program.
To use it:
port 1
fe [new offset]

A few months ago Fabio Eboli posted some Python functions that might
be useful. I haven't used or tested them myself, but they might be of
interest. Still up on pastebin at

I don't know if Fabio has done any further work on this but perhaps
he'll chime in here.

You have been collecting programs? I did not know there were any to
collect. Do you have a list? I don't have much use for a .exe
file but
is your are source codes available that would be great.

Hello,
Since I bought my FE-5680A (10 MHz, 1 PPS variety), I have been
collecting
control programs for it and keeping then in reserve. Now that I'm
going to
box it with a distribution amp I tried some of them, first of all
to adjust
the frequency against the GPS. I used Bob Campbel's VK4XV
"Fe5680Calibrator.exe" with good results. I have other programs which
interrogates the device and shows the hex dumps, but I would like
to know
if there is a windows program that allows to send other that the
offset
related commands to the device and get the responses not in hex but
translated to plain language. In fact I don't know if there are
housekeeping commands for reading thinks like the lock status or
the lamp
voltage like the analog outputs of the FRS-C and others.
Thanks in advance,
Ignacio EB4APL
