Statistics (16H)
Command
Format
The RF3880 adapter keeps track of several types of board statistics. With the Extended Board Statistics command you can retrieve the extended set of statistics kept by the adapter. The statistics are valid only as long as power is kept to the system. This command reports the statistics by recording them in the area of system memory specified in the command Parameter Block; this statistics structure is returned in addition to the normal Status Block.
You can clear the internal statistics table at any time by issuing the command with the CLR bit of the Options field set. No data transfer occurs when the CLR bit is set.
The Parameter Block format for the Extended Board Statistics command looks like this:
