Error Strobe Signal
The error strobe signal is one of the I/O strobes. The strobe signal is driven low when the receiver is
operating normally. When the receiver is in the error state and tracking is disabled, the error strobe is driven
high. This can be caused by a fatal error or by an unusual receiver status indication that the user has
promoted to be treated like a fatal error. Once on, the error status remains high until the cause of the error is
corrected and the receiver is reset. See also

Overview
The Receiver Status log (RXSTATUS) provides system status and configuration information in a series of
hexadecimal words.
The status word is the third field after the header, as shown in the example in

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
