This log conveys various status parameters of the GNSS receiver system. These include the Receiver Status and Error words which contain several flags specifying status and error conditions. If an error occurs (shown in the Receiver Error word), the receiver idles all channels, turns off the antenna and disables the RF hardware as these conditions are considered to be fatal errors. The log contains a variable number of status words to allow for maximum flexibility and future expansion. For information about resolving an error, refer to Examining the RXSTATUS Log.

The receiver gives the user the ability to determine the importance of the status bits. In the case of the Receiver Status, setting a bit in the priority mask causes the condition to trigger an error. This causes the receiver to idle all channels, turn off the antenna and disable the RF hardware, the same as if a bit in the Receiver Error word is set. Setting a bit in an Auxiliary Status priority mask causes that condition to set the bit in the Receiver Status word corresponding to that Auxiliary Status. See also the STATUSCONFIG command.

Field #4, the receiver status word as represented in Table: Receiver Status, is also in Field #8 of the header. See the ASCII Example below and Table: Receiver Status for clarification.

Receiver errors automatically generate event messages. These event messages are output in RXSTATUSEVENT logs. It is also possible to have status conditions trigger event messages to be generated by the receiver. This is done by setting/clearing the appropriate bits in the event set/clear masks. The set mask tells the receiver to generate an event message when the bit becomes set. Likewise, the clear mask causes messages to be generated when a bit is cleared. See the STATUSCONFIG command for details.

If you wish to disable all these messages without changing the bits, simply UNLOG the RXSTATUSEVENT logs on the appropriate ports. See the UNLOG command.

Antenna Gain State
Bits 4‑5 or Bits 6‑7	Description
00	Antenna Gain in range
01	Antenna Gain Low This state indicates that the input signal is very weak (under -160 dBm/Hz). It can indicate the antenna is not operating correctly, the antenna is not suitable for NovAtel receivers, or there is no antenna connected.
10	Antenna Gain High. This state indicates that the input signal is very strong (above -120 dBm/Hz). This can be caused by a strong in-band interference or by too much signal gain or too many LNAs cascaded in the path.
11	Antenna Gain Anomaly. This state indicates that an anomaly has been detected for the input signal. It can be caused by strong in-band or out-of-band interference, or by the antenna being disconnected/changed during operation.
