AcquireCnt
The value indicates the number of times the STEL-2176 has attempted to acquire the
signal.
AcquisitionFail
The value is set to 1 when an acquisition failure is declared due to excessive error power;
the STEL-2176 is also returned to the idle mode.
AcquisitionLock
The value is set to 1 when acquisition lock is detected.
Decimate_GainSel
If GainSel is low (the default), the Nyquist filter output (10 bits plus 1 fractional bit) is
multiplied by a factor of 1.25 (+2 dB power); if GainSel is high, the scale factor is 1.5 (+3.5
dB power).
ErrPwr
Provides an indication of the SNR. The conversion between ErrPwr and the SNR can be
determined from Table 10 (intermediate values can be found by interpolation).
Factory Defined Value
The specified value must be written to the data field. In a few cases, several values are
provided for selecting a specific mode and one of the specified values must be written to
the data field.
JitPwr
Pwrlvl_correctEn
