Built-In Status Tests
The Built-In Status Test monitors system performance and status to ensure the receiver is oper-
ating within specifications. 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 track-
ing 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 operation.
5.1 RXSTATUSEVENT Log
The
RXSTATUSEVENT
log is used to output event messages, as indicated in the
RXSTATUS
log.
On start up, the SMART2 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 command details. for a more detailed description of this log.
5.2 RXSTATUS Log
The Receiver Status log (RXSTATUS) provides system status and configuration information in a
series of hexadecimal words.
5.2.1 Status Word
The status word is the third field after the header, as shown in the example in
Figure 11: 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
