D Logs summary
174 MiLLennium Command Descriptions Manual
RCSA/B Receiver Status
The RCSA log will always output four records: one for VERSION, one for receiver CHANNELS, one for receiver CPU
IDLE
time, and one indicating receiver self-test STATUS. However, RCSB will embed the same information in a
single record.
Together, the
RVSA/B and VERA/B logs supersede the RCSA/B logs. In other word this log is soon to be obsolete and
eventually will be no longer supported. It is recommended then that you use the
RVSA/B and VERA/B logs.
RCSA
Structure:
Example:
$RCSA,VERSION,GPSCard-2 3951R LGR94160001 HW 16 SW 3.15 Mar 31/94*16
$RCSA,CHANNELS,10*12
$RCSA,IDLE,40*03
$RCSA,STATUS,000007F6*60
The status code is a hexadecimal number representing the results of the GPSCard BIST test and software status. As
an example, the status code '000000F6' indicates that the
GPSAntenna is not working properly or is disconnected
and the GPSCard is good, while '000000F7' indicates that the
GPSAntenna and the GPSCard are both functioning
properly. See Table D-5 for a detailed description of the status code. Bit 0 is the least significant bit of the status
code and Bit 16 is the most significant bit.
RCSB
Format: Message ID = 13 Message byte count = 100
NOTES: See Table D-5 for a detailed GPSCard Receiver Self-test Status Code table and bit descriptions.
Self test bits 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 are set only once when the GPSCard is first powered up. All other bits are set by
internal test processes each time the RCSA/B log is output .
