Self-test occurs each time the RF3880 is powered on or reset. If one of the Self- tests fail, an Error Code is reported in the Status Port. The format of the Status Port is as follows:

Table 119: Status Port: Reset

The Self-test Code (STC) fields are highlighted in the illustration above.

If one of the self-tests does not properly complete, its test number will be left in the Self-test Code fields. The table on the next page lists all the Self-test codes and describes the test performed.

Note that bit 1 of the Status Port is not set until the board is in a Ready condition. Therefore, during Self-test it will remain zero.

The Diagnostic/Self-test Board-control command allows you to selectively perform the board Self-tests. In the event that one of the Self-tests does not complete properly, the Error Codes shown on the next page will be used to report the area of difficulty.

It is important to note, however, that the codes are reported in the Error field of the Status Block returned from the Diagnostics/Self-test command. In that case, these codes are returned in the Status Block Error field in addition to the normal Status Block Error Codes.
