Figure 12: Reading the Bits in the Receiver Status Word
If the receiver status word indicates a problem, see
5.2.2 Error Word
The error field contains a 32-bit word. Each bit in the word is used to indicate an error condition.
Error conditions may result in damage to the hardware or erroneous data, so the receiver is put
into an error state. If any bit in the error word is set, the receiver broadcasts the
RXSTATUSEVENT
log on all ports (unless the user has unlogged it), idles all channels, turns the
antenna off and disables the RF hardware. To override the error state, reset the receiver.
The receiver can be configured to generate event messages triggered by status conditions.
Receiver Error words automatically generate event messages. These event messages are output
in the
RXSTATUSEVENT
log (see also
Set and Clear Mask for all Status Code Arrays
page).
The error word is the first field after the log header in the
RXSTATUS
log, as shown in the
example in

Refer to the
RXSTATUS
log and
RXSTATUSEVENT
log for more detailed log descriptions. If the
receiver error word indicates an error, refer to
5.2.3 Status Code Arrays
There are currently 5 status code arrays:
