The status registers in the TAB and GAB FPGAs are updated continuously during normal running. They contain two different types of entries:

Bit Type Description
TAB Chips 0-9 (stat.vhd)
00..02 latched parity errors on input cables 1,2,3
03..05 latched data sync errors on input cables 1,2,3
06..08 latched BC mismatch on input cables 1,2,3
09 latched PLL lost lock
10 event mode_ff
11..13 latched PRN test data error on cables 1,2,3
14 latched serial data alignment error
15 event PLL locked
TAB Chip 10 (flags.vhd)
00 event testmode data
01 event cp90 locked
02 event cp53 locked
03 event running
04..15 --- unused
GAB LVDS Chips 1-4 (stat.vhd)
00..01 latched parity errors on input cables 1,2
02 latched bc_error: XOR of BC error on two cables
03 latched sync_error: XOR of serial data sync error on two cables
04 latched valid_error: XOR of data not valid on two cables
05 latched sclbc_error: XOR of chip10 BC error on two cables
06 latched sclturn_error: XOR of Turn error on two cables
07..08 --- unused
09 latched pll_lock_error: XOR of PLL lock error on two cables
10 event mode_ff
11..14 --- unused
15 event PLL locked
GAB S30 Chip (vhd_gabstatus.vhd)
00 event init: initialized?
01 event sclrun: running
02 event locked: PLLs locked
03 latched sclerror: SCL Init requested
04..15 --- unused
