If the receiver status word indicates a problem, see Examining the RXSTATUS Log on page 45.
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 on the next
page).
The error word is the first field after the log header in the RXSTATUS log, as shown in the
example in Figure 13: Location of Receiver Error Word below.
Figure 14: 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 for more detailed log descriptions. If the
receiver error word indicates an error, refer to Examining the RXSTATUS Log on page 45.
5.2.3 Status Code Arrays
There are currently 5 status code arrays:
