Novatel OEM7 - Error Word

Chapter 4 Built-In Status Tests
OEM7 Installation and Operation User Manual v1 73
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 Figure 27: Reading the Bits in the Receiver Status Word below.

If the receiver status word indicates a problem, see Examining the RXSTATUS Log on page94.
4.4.2 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 sets the error strobe line,
flashes the error code on the status LED, 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 RXSTATUSEVENT log (see also Set and Clear Mask for all Status Code Arrays on page75).
The error word is the first field after the log header in the RXSTATUS log, as shown in the
example in Figure 28: Location of Receiver Error Word below.

Figure 29: Reading the Bits in the Receiver Error Word below shows an example of a receiver
error word.

Refer to the RXSTATUS log and RXSTATUSEVENT log in the OEM7 Commands and Logs Refer-
ence Manual (OM-20000169) for more detailed log descriptions. If the receiver error word indic-
ates an error, refer to Examining the RXSTATUS Log on page94.
