Unit returns the current fault and status codes for the Unit
(hardware), Tx Traffic and Rx Traffic, in the form abcde, where:
a = Unit fault status, b = Tx Traffic status,
c = Rx Traffic Status, d = Change in Fault Status since last poll
(0 = none, 1 = change), e = Change in Unit Configuration since
last poll (0 = none, 1 = change)
Unit faults:
0 = No faults
1 = Power supply fault, 5 volts
2 = Power supply fault , 12 volts
3 = Power supply fault, -5 volts
4 = Power supply fault, 18 volts
5 = Power supply fault, -12 volts
6 = RAM load fail
7 = Tx synthesiser lock
8 = Rx synthesiser
9 = Power cal Checksum error
A = FPGA main chain load fail
B = Turbo FPGA load fail
Tx Traffic status:
0 = Tx traffic OK
1 = No clock from terrestrial interface
2 = Tx FIFO slip
3 = AIS detected on incoming data
4 = AUPC upper limit reached
Rx Traffic status:
0 = Rx Traffic OK
1 = Demodulator unlocked
2 = AGC Alarm - signal level too high
3 = Frame sync lost (Reed-Solomon or EDMAC)
4 = Buffer Underflow
5 = Buffer Overflow
6 = AIS detected on incoming data
7 = Eb/No threshold exceeded
N/A FLT?
