Chapter 7 7.1 Built-In Status Tests Overview The built in test monitors system performance and status to ensure the receiver is operating within its specifications. If an exceptional condition is detected, the user is informed through one or more indicators. The receiver status system is used to configure and monitor these indicators: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Receiver status word (included in the header of every message) ERROR strobe signal (see Section 3.3.
Built-In Status Tests Chapter 7 RXSTATUSEVENT log. These masks allow you to modify whether various status fields generate errors or event messages when they are set or cleared. This is meant to allow you to customize the operation of your OEMV family receiver for your specific needs. Refer to the RXSTATUS log, RXSTATUSEVENT log and STATUSCONFIG command in the OEMV Firmware Reference Manual for more detailed descriptions of these messages. 7.
Chapter 7 Built-In Status Tests Each bit in the status word indicates the status of a specific condition or function of the receiver. If the status word is 00000000, the receiver is operating normally. The numbering of the bits is shown in Figure 43, Reading the Bits in the Receiver Status Word on Page 120 below.
Built-In Status Tests Chapter 7 Here is another example of a receiver error word. The numbering of the bits is shown in Figure 45. 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 0010 Bit 15 Bit 0 Figure 45: Reading the Bits in the Receiver Error Word Refer to the RXSTATUS and the RXSTATUSEVENT logs in the OEMV Firmware Reference Manual for more detailed descriptions of these logs. If the receiver error word indicates an error, please also see Section 8.
Chapter 7 7.5.6 Built-In Status Tests Set and Clear Mask for all Status Code Arrays The other two mask words in the status code arrays operate on the associated status word in the same way. These mask words are used to configure which bits in the status word will result in the broadcast of the RXSTATUSEVENT log. The set mask is used to turn logging on temporarily while the bit changes from the 0 to 1 state.

Appendix B B.1 Electrostatic Discharge Control (ESD) Practices Overview Static electricity is electrical charge stored in an electromagnetic field or on an insulating body. This charge can flow as soon as a low-impedance path to ground is established. Static-sensitive units can be permanently damaged by static discharge potentials of as little as 40 volts.
Electrostatic Discharge Control (ESD) Practices B.3 Appendix B • Where protective measures have not been installed, a suitable alternative would be the use of a Portable Field Service Grounding Kit (for example, 3M Kit #8501 or #8507). This consists of a portable mat and wrist strap which must be attached to a suitable ground.
Appendix B B.4 Electrostatic Discharge Control (ESD) Practices Handling Printed Circuit Boards ESD damage to unprotected sensitive devices may occur at any time. ESD events can occur far below the threshold of human sensitivity. Follow this sequence when it becomes necessary to install or remove a circuit board: 188 1. After you are connected to the grounded wrist strap, remove the circuit board from the frame and place it on a static-controlled surface (grounded floor or table mat). 2.
