Bad Rx Chars This field represents the number of times the
8B/10B decode detected an invalid 10-bit code.
FC-PH denotes this value as “Invalid
Transmission Word during frame reception.”
This field may be non-zero after initialization.
After initialization, the host should read this
value to determine the correct starting value for
this error count.
Loss of Syncs Loss of Sync denotes the number of times the
loss of sync is greater than RT_TOV.
Link Fails This field indicates the number of times the
Frame Manager detected a NOS or other
initialization protocol failure that caused a
transition to the Link Failure state.
Received EOFa Received EOFa refers to the number of frames
containing an EOFa delimiter that Tachyon has
received.
Generated EOFa This field reveals the number of problem
frames that Tachyon has received that caused
the Frame Manager to attach an EOFa
delimiter. Frames that Tachyon discarded due
to internal FIFO overflow are not included in
this or any other statistic.
Bad CRCs Bad CRCs denotes the number of bad CRC
frames that Tachyon has received.
Protocol Errors This field indicates the number of protocol
errors that the Frame Manager has detected.
Elastic Errors Elastic errors reveal the timing difference
between the receive and transmit clocks and
usually indicate cable pulls.
