Status Reporting
Status Reporting Structure Operation.
In general the status reporting structure described on the previous pages is used as
follows:
Determine which conditions, as defined by their bit positions in the Condition Register,
should cause the Summary Message to be set TRUE if they occur.
For example, Condition Register Bit 3 = Overpower Protection Tripped
Determine the polarity of the bit-state transition which will indicate the condition has
occurred.
For example,
logic 0 = Overpower Protection not tripped
logic 1 = Overpower Protection tripped
occurrence indicated by a 0 to 1 transition
use positive transition (PTR) filter for bit 3
Set the Transition Filters to the correct polarity to pass the bit-state transition to the
Event Register.
For example,
Set Positive Transition Filter bit 3 to 1, all other bits to 0.
Set Negative Transition Filter bit 3 to 0, all other bits to 0.
Set the correct bits in the Enable Register to generate the Summary Message if the
condition has been latched into the Event Register.
For example,
Set bit 3 of the Enable Register to a logic 1, all other bits to 0.
Repeat these steps for any register containing the Summary Message bit.
