The following table shows a list of the binary codes used to describe the system status
(for bytes # 13 and 14 from Table 3):
*)
These bits are deleted as soon as the transponder has left the
antenna field.
Example:
Status
0x0600
stands for TRANS_IN_FIELD and CODE_OK
The status
0x0002
may also arise during ordinary transponder crossings, if the code
transmission is aborted due to decreasing power output level. The message 0x0100
(REF_TRANS_ON) enables checking whether transmission of the corresponding
switch-off command has been forgotten (in this case, it is no longer possible to read
runway transponders correctly).
