Chapter 9 Built-In Status Tests
The Built-In Status Test monitors system performance and status to ensure the receiver is operating within spe-
cifications. The test detects an exceptional condition and informs the user through one or more indicators. The
receiver status system is used to configure and monitor the indicators:
1. Receiver status word (included in the header of every message)
2. RXSTATUSEVENT log
3. RXSTATUS log
When a fatal event occurs (for example, a receiver hardware failure), a bit is set in the receiver error word, part of
the
RXSTATUS
log, to indicate the cause of the problem. An
RXSTATUSEVENT
log is generated on all ports to
show the cause of the error. Receiver tracking is disabled but command and log processing continues to allow
error diagnosis. Even if the source of the error is corrected, the receiver must be reset to resume normal oper-
ation.
9.1 RXSTATUSEVENT Log
The
RXSTATUSEVENT
log is used to output event messages, as indicated in the
RXSTATUS
log.
On start up, the OEM7 receiver is set to log
RXSTATUSEVENTA ONNEW
on all ports. You can remove this
message using the
UNLOG
command.
Refer to the
RXSTATUSEVENT
log in the
Agriculture Commands and Logs Reference Manual
for log and com-
mand details. for a more detailed description of this log.
9.2 RXSTATUS Log
The Receiver Status log (RXSTATUS) provides system status and configuration information in a series of hexa-
decimal words.
9.2.1 Status Word
The status word is the third field after the header, as shown in the example in
Figure 31: Location of Receiver
Figure 31: Location of Receiver Status Word
Each bit in the status word indicates the status of a specific receiver condition or function. If the status word is
00000000, the receiver is operating normally. The numbering of the bits is shown in
