Figure 32: Reading the Bits in the Receiver Status Word
If the receiver status word indicates a problem, see
9.2.2 Error Word
The error field contains a 32-bit word. Each bit in the word is used to indicate an error condition. Error conditions
may result in damage to the hardware or erroneous data, so the receiver is put into an error state. If any bit in the
error word is set, the receiver broadcasts the
RXSTATUSEVENT
log on all ports (unless the user has unlogged
it), idles all channels, turns the antenna off and disables the RF hardware. To override the error state, reset the
receiver.
The receiver can be configured to generate event messages triggered by status conditions. Receiver Error words
automatically generate event messages. These event messages are output in the
RXSTATUSEVENT
log (see
