Fault and Status Bit Maps

Table 11 lists the fault/status bit map for the StarGuide III receiver. The SF and SS commands

can be used to return a hexadecimal value of the status and the following table shows the faults

and their individual hexadecimal values. The fault hexadecimal values are all 32 bits.
