3.5.6 Fault Display

The fault display page lets you view the actual state of all fault flags and also the latches state of these flags.

From the main menu, select 'FAULTS' and press to see the faults display. The upper line shows the momentary active fault conditions, the lower line the latched faults. Active faults are represented by a 2-character memnotic, inactive faults by dashes.

• DC --- There is a problem with the power supply of the receiver. (hardware fault)
• SY --- One of the receiver's frequency synthesizers does not lock. (hardware fault)
• LV --- The measurement value is below the threshold defined in the settings.
• FT --- The receiver failed to optimize the receive frequency, probably due to a bad C/N.

The example below shows a more practical example of a faults display page. It tells that actually everything is OK, but since the last reset of latched faults the beacon level at least once was below it's threshold.

When you leave the faults display page (.i clear.gif does this), the receiver asks whether to reset the latched faults. To acknowledge this, press . To leave the fault display without resetting the latched faults, press a second time.
