ES
: External synchronization
00000000 = Position sampling during free running at the shortest cycle time.
All other values = Position sampling with the
sync
signal synchronized. The value from
ES
determines the number of position samplings carried out in one
sync
cycle. The
user must match the number of samplings per cycle to the shortest frame length (see
6.3.3
Quality monitoring
The
MASTER_QM
quality monitoring register contains the quality monitoring value for
the data connection.
As soon as the DSL Master detects events that indicate an improvement or degrad-
ation of the quality of the data connection, these events are indicated as values higher
or lower than the quality monitoring value (see
).

Quality monitoring is initiated with the value "8".
The maximum quality monitoring value is "15". This is the standard value during opera‐
tion.
NOTE
Particular attention must be paid to the quality monitoring value during the develop‐
ment of a DSL drive controller. If a value lower than "15" is indicated, the cause may be
a problem with the connection circuit, particularly if the value is continuously displayed.
If the quality monitoring value falls below "14",
QMLW
information is indicated in Online
Status and in the
EVENT_L
register.
If the quality monitoring value falls to "0", a forced reset of the protocol is carried out.
This is indicated by the
PRST
error bit in Online Status and in the
EVENT_H
register.
The
MASTER_QM
register is write protected.
