Overview
The CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) System in the
FTDX1200 transceiver provides control of frequency,
VFO, memory, and other settings such as dual-channel
memories and diversity reception using an external per-
sonal computer. This allows multiple control operations
to be fully automated with single mouse clicks, or key-
stroke operations on the computer keyboard.
Using the RS-232C Cable (Refer to gure 1)
The FTDX1200 series has a built-in level converter, al-
lowing direct connection from the rear-panel CAT jack
to the serial port of your computer without the need of
any external boxes.
You will need a serial cable for connection to the RS-
232C (serial or COM port) connector on your computer.
Purchase a standard serial cable (not the so-called “null
modem” type), ensuring it has the correct gender and
number of pins (some serial COM port connectors use a
9-pin rather than 25-pin conguration). If your computer
uses a custom connector, you may have to construct the
cable. In this case, refer to the technical documentation
supplied with your computer for correct data connection.
Using the USB Cable with SCU-17 (Refer to gure 2)
Install the virtual COM port driver on the personal
computer before using the SCU-17 USB interface unit.
Please see the USB Driver (Virtual COM Port Driver)
on the Yaesu Website for details refer to (http://www.
yaesu.com/) in the FTDX1200 product les section.
Note: Do not connect the USB cable and SCU-17 to
your personal computer until after the “virtual
COM port driver” installation is completed, be-
cause an incorrect driver may be installed.
The SCU-17 interface unit may be used for CAT control
of the transceiver with a computer via a USB connec-
tion. You will need a USB cable to connect to the USB
jack on your computer.
YAESU MUSEN does not produce CAT System
operating software due to the wide variety of per-
sonal computers and operating systems in use today.
However, the information provided in this chapter
explains the serial data structure and opcodes used
by the CAT system. This information, along with
the short programming examples, is intended to help
you start writing programs on your own. As you
become more familiar with CAT operation, you can
customize programs for your operating needs and
utilize the full operating potential of this system.

Control Command
A computer control command is composed of an alpha-
betical command, various parameters, and the terminator
that signals the end of the control command.
Example: Set the VFO-A frequency to 14.250000 MHz.
FA 14250000 ;
   
Command Parameter Terminator
There are three commands for the FtdX1200 as shown
below:
Set command: Set a particular condition
(to the FtdX1200)
Read command: Reads an answer
(from the FtdX1200)
Answer command: Transmits a condition
(from the FtdX1200)
For example, note the following case of the FA com-
mand (Set the VFO-A frequency):
To set the VFO-A frequency to 14.250000 MHz, the
following command is sent from the computer to the
transceiver:
“FA14250000;” (Set command)
To read the VFO-A frequency, the following com-
mand is sent from the computer to the transceiver:
“FA;” (Read command)
When the Read command above has been sent, the
following command is returned to the computer:
“FA14250000;” (Answer command)
Alphabetical Commands
A command consists of 2 alphabetical characters.
You may use either lower or upper case characters. The
commands available for this transceiver are listed in the
“PC Control Command Tables” on the following pages.
Parameters
Parameters are used to specify information necessary to
implement the desired command.
The parameters to be used for each command are pre-
determined. The number of digits assigned to each
parameter is also predetermined. Refer to the “Control
Command List” and the “Control Command Tables” to
congure the appropriate parameters.
When configuring parameters, be careful not to make
the following mistakes.
For example,
when the correct parameter is “IS0+1000” (IF SHIFT):
IS01000;
Not enough parameters specied (No direction (+)
given for the IF shift)
IS0+100;
Not enough digits (Only three frequency digits
given)
IS0_+_1000;
Unnecessary characters between parameters
IS0+10000;
Too many digits (Five frequency digits given)
Note: If a particular parameter is not applicable to the
FtdX1200, the parameter digits should be lled using
any character except the ASCII control codes (00 to
1Fh) and the terminator (;).
Terminator
To signal the end of a command, it is necessary to use
a semicolon (;). The digit where this special character
must appear differs depending on the command used.
