Example of BITE information on the Details tab
When an error or warning occurs for one of these items a message will be
displayed on the Status tab (see 5.3.1 above). On the Details tab the
information is also updated as shown in Figure 5-5.
Errors and warnings occur when an item exceeds a specified minimum or
maximum level and/or exceeds a specified time limit.
The error status for each item has an internal error status which is
incremented when there is an error and decreased if not. When there are
many errors close to each other in time, the error status will increment
above 1 and the status goes to ‘Error’. After a while with few or no errors
the error status will crawl down and come below 1, the status goes back
to ‘Ok’. The tolerance to the errors and the time errors are remembered
are controlled by the ‘min’ and ‘max’. So for the error counters the min
and max are not just limits used for comparison.
This means that for example an error message occurs when the head
FPGA exceeds a certain temperature (level) but also when the PPS
pulses are not received (exceed a time limit).
