Error Log
The error log contains the transmitter operational errors logged during operation, and this log
is not cleared by a reset. Use this log to determine an operational history of the RF-O!
transmitter. To read the transmitter error log, perform the following steps:
1. Establish an RF-O! transmitter FIPS session.
2. Read the transmitter error log. Type this command:
a 104 <Enter>
The service terminal lists the recorded station errors. Table 5-5 describes each error log
entry. Each log entry line contains the following information:
<Type><Action><Error Code><Caller><Line Num><Timestamp><Occurrences>
Table 5-5: Station Error Log Entries
Entry Description
Type
Helps to determine which subsystem within the module is responsible for the error condition.
The type can take on values such as NVM, DSP, STATION_ERROR, and GPS.
Action
Tells what action the error-logging mechanism took when the error occurred. The action can be
either RESET_STATION (fatal error, station was reset) or LOG_ERROR (nonfatal, error was
logged, but station was not reset).
Error Code
Identifies individual errors. The tables in this document contain descriptions of each of the
possible error codes.
Caller Identifies the software source code module that logged the error. Used for software debugging.
Line Num
Identifies the physical line number of the calling software source code module from where the
error was logged. Used for software debugging.
Timestamp Marks the GPS time when the latest occurrence of the error was logged. If GPS time is not
known at the time the error is logged, the Timestamp contains the current value of the onboard
clock, which starts timing from 1996/04/02.12:00:00 upon reset.
Occurrences Gives the number of times the current combination of Type, Action, Error Code, Caller, and Line
Num have occurred since the log was last cleared. Note that different callers can log the same
error code, in which case separate log entries are made.
