Abstract
The fault status of various components of an RF transmitter is monitored and recorded. A plurality of ports each receive an indication of an active or an inactive fault status from an associated one of a plurality of monitored the components. A multi-bit fault status structure is provided with each bit being associated with one of the monitored components and having a binary value representative of either an active fault status or an inactive fault status of the associated one of the monitored components. A micro-controller is programmed so that it determines whether any of the fault status indications have been changed from being an inactive status to an active status. If so, for each the monitored component, it sets the corresponding bit in the fault status structure to an active fault indication. If not, it resets the corresponding bit in the fault status structure to an inactive fault indication. The micro-controller is further programmed so that it provides a fault log that contains a record of the faults.
