3.7 Built-In Status Tests
The receiver performs self-tests and generates status information to provide an indication of the operational
readiness and to facilitate maintenance actions.
The built in test monitors system performance and status to ensure the receiver is operating within its
specifications. If an exceptional condition is detected, you are informed through one or more indicators. The
receiver status system is used to configure and monitor these indicators:
• Message ID# 49, Receiver Status Data
• Message ID# 51, Initiated BIT Result
Please refer to the SUPERSTAR II Firmware Reference Manual for details on the Message IDs above.
See also Section 3.6.2, Operational States starting on Page 24.

Firmware Reference Manual. The receiver can also support two user-defined datums. You must define them,
prior to their use, using Message ID# 88. Afterwards, the desired datum, whether it is user-defined or
