9.3.4 Monitoring the Receiver Temperature

If the receiver is operating in a high ambient temperature environment, you can monitor the receiver
temperature using the RXSTATUS and HWMONITOR logs.
1. Log the RXSTATUS log and check Bit 1 of the Receiver Status word.
LOG RXSTATUS onchanged
<RXSTATUS USB1 0 81.5 FINESTEERING 1990 326146.020 0a104020 2ae1 14434

For information about reading the Receiver Status word, refer to Status Word on page 84.
2. If Bit 1 is 0, the temperature is okay. Continue monitoring, but no action is required.
If Bit 1 is 1, the receiver temperature has exceeded the warning limit.
3. Log the HWMONITOR log and check the two temperature status fields (0x01 and 0x16).

Pay attention to the reading and the boundary limit status.
Refer to Table: HWMONITOR Status Table in the HWMONITOR log section for a description of the
Boundary Limit Status.
4. Use the suggestions in Mitigating High Receiver Temperature on the previous page to reduce the receiver
temperature.
5. Continue monitoring the HWMONITOR log to see if receiver temperature is dropping.
