A Summary of Commands spStatus

CTL Flags

The current value of the CTL flags. These are used to control optional code within a pack. See spCtlFlags for further information.

Timer Requests

The number of timer requests that have been made.

Active Timers, Completed Timers, Killed Timers

The number of timer requests currently outstanding, the total number of timer requests that have run to completion, the number of timer requests that were removed prior to execution. If these values do not total up properly, there is also a warning indicating that there is trouble.

Work Search Loops

This is the number of times divided by 1000 that the SP Executive has gone through its base level work search loop, trying to find something productive to do. The change in the number goes down as the SP Executive becomes busier and busier doing productive work.

TDM Overruns

This number should always be zero. If it is not, it indicates that some activity is taking too long and blocking the processing of a TDM interrupt before it rolls over and starts overwriting data. This is a serious problem.
