Receiver status word

The receiver status word indicates the current status of the receiver. This word is found in the header of all logs and in the RXSTATUS log. In addition, the receiver status word is configurable.

The importance of the status bits can be determined with priority masks. For receiver status, setting a bit in the priority mask causes the condition to trigger an error. The error causes the receiver to idle all channels, turn off the antenna and disable the RF hardware, just like it would if a bit in the receiver error word is set. Setting a bit in an Auxiliary Status priority mask causes the condition to set the bit in the receiver status that corresponds to the auxiliary status.

Use the STATUSCONFIG command to configure the various status mask fields in the RXSTATUS log. Use the masks to specify whether various status fields generate errors or event messages when set or cleared.

Refer to the RXSTATUS log, RXSTATUSEVENT log and STATUSCONFIG command for more detailed descriptions of these messages.
