Each bit in the status word indicates the status of a specific condition or function of the receiver. If the status word is
00000000, the receiver is operating normally. The numbering of the bits is shown in Figure 13 below.

The format of the log is described in Chapter 4 of this manual. If the receiver status word indicates a problem, please
also see Section 8.2, Receiver Status Word on Page 107.
8.4.2 Error WordThe error field contains a 32 bit word. Each bit in the word is used to indicate an error condition. Error conditions may
result in damage to the hardware or erroneous data, so the receiver is put into an error state. If any bit in the error word
is set, the receiver will set the error strobe line, idle all channels, turn off the antenna, and disable the RF hardware.
The only way to get out of the error state is to reset the receiver.
The error word is the second last field in the RXSECSTATUS log, as shown in the example below.
