Channel Type Shows the current (or last) channel type
Detailed Radio Status
System
10 MHz Standard - 10 MHz reference- Active (10 MHz signal present) or Inactive (10 MHz
signal not present or not within specification)
Disciplined Clock
Status
Internal 10 MHz reference status
Locked = The Disciplined Clock has acquired GPS lock and is providing a valid
10MHz source.
Unlocked = The Disciplined Clock has lost its GPS lock and is waiting for GPS
signal reacquisition. The 10 MHz source is still valid.
Never been
locked yet = After power up, the Disciplined Clock has not acquired its first GPS
lock yet. The 10 MHz source is not valid.
Fault = The Disciplined Clock cannot provide a valid 10 MHz source for one
of the following reasons:
1. There was a hardware or firmware initialization error.
2. The GPS has failed to acquire any satellite signal within
the allowed time period (Check GPS antenna)
10 MHz source
unreliable = The Disciplined Clock has lost its GPS lock for too long and cannot
guaranty the accuracy of its 10MHz source anymore (check GPS
antenna). This message can also appear if the VCO on the Disci
plined Clock circuit is no longer within specification due to age,
damage or extreme environmental conditions.
Disabled = The Disciplined Clock is not active. The 10MHz source from this cir
cuit is unreliable or an external source is provided.
Disciplined Clock
Temperature
Displays Disciplined Clock temperature in degrees Celsius.
Note: Displays "N/A" if the Disciplined Clock's state is "Disabled".
Receiver Detailed Status
Temperature Receiver's temperature in degrees Celsius.
External 10 MHz de-
tected
Yes (10 MHz signal in use by the receiver), No (10 MHz signal not in use by the receiver)
Using External 10
MHz
Yes, No (10 MHz signal is in use by the receiver)
PLL Locked
Yes, No (RF synthesizer is phase-locked-loop to internal 17.5MHz or external 10MHz
reference signal.)
Exciter Detailed Status
Temperature Exciter's temperature in degrees Celsius
Transmit in progress Yes, No
10 MHz Standard in
use
Yes (10 MHz signal in use by the exciter), No (10 MHz signal not in use by the exciter)
10 MHz Standard
Error
Yes, No (The exciter will report a failure when the 10 MHz signal is present initially and
removed after system initialization.)
RF Synthesizer
Locked
Yes, No (May signify RF synthesizer device error. Contact support for additional infor-
mation.)
MOD Synthesizer
Locked
Yes, No (May signify MOD synthesizer device error. Contact support for additional in-
formation.)
