The Status channel contains per-frame status information, that is, information that relates to an entire frame of data. This is intended for downstream slaves that do not operate on the data directly but might need to know the information to control another part of the system. The exact position in the frame where the status is sent depends on the nature of the status information. The following information is classed as per-frame status:
-
BLK_EXP
for each channel -
OVFLO
for each channel
The core cannot be configured to have both
BLK_EXP
and OVFLO
.
BLK_EXP
status information is sent at the
start of the frame and OVFLO
status information is sent at the end of the
frame.
