Status and Events

4–6 VX4380 256-Crosspoint Relay Matrix Module User Manual

When output is sent to the Output queue (for example, a response to a query), the

message available bit in the Status Byte Register is set to one (4).

When a bit in the Status Byte Register is set to one and the corresponding bit in

the Service Request Enable Register is enabled (5), the master status summary

bit in the Status Byte Register is set to one and a service request is generated (6).

Messages

The VX4380 generates error messages in response to events caused by com-

mands or queries. Each type of event sets a specific bit in the Standard Event

Status Register. Thus, each message is associated with a specific Standard Event

Status Register bit. In the message tables that follow, the associated Standard

Event Status Register bit is specified in the table title. Not shown in the tables

are secondary messages giving more detail about the cause of the error or the

meaning of the message. These secondary messages are shown for each

command and query in Syntax and Commands.

Table 4–5 shows the error messages generated by improper command syntax.

Check to see that the command is properly formatted and that it follows the rules

in Syntax and Commands.

Register)
