Thermal3 Command
(requires ENG access)
sat mask [(on|off) <index>]

Variables index The status point from 0 to 108.

Description Each satellite board has a status register containing bit flags indicating internal malfunctions. These flags are scanned periodically by firmware on the main head controller. If any of these flags goes to a faulted state a system error is generated that consequently shuts down imaging and components such as the write laser, focus laser and servo controllers.

This monitor command allows masking of individual satellite fault errors. Masking a fault causes the firmware to ignore that fault if it should occur. All possible satellite faults are displayed by the monitor command sat status. The identification number from the monitor command sat status is used as the index variable of this monitor command.

Setting a mask on disables a specific status fault and setting a mask off enables a specific status fault. The monitor command sat mask will display all satellite status flags that are currently masked.
