5.0 ERROR COUNT REGISTERS
There are a set of three counters in the DS2143 that
record bipolar violations, errors in the CRC4 SMF code
words, and E–bits as reported by the far end. Each of
these three counters are automatically updated on one
second boundaries as determined by the one second
timer in Status Register 2 (SR2.4). Hence, these regis-
ters contain performance data from the previous
second. The user can use the interrupt from the one
second timer to determine when to read these registers.
The user has a full second to read the counters before
the data is lost.
