PRESET
Bits: (4: 0)
These bits provide a method to perform a double word( 32 bit) preset to the RTC. When this bit
field is set to any number from 1 to 30( bit 0 = LSB), the first two words of a receive message
whose subaddress is equal to this value will be used to preset the internal RTC. The most
significant word is received first. If this field is equal to a "0" or "31", the RTC will not be preset.
All bits in this register are cleared during initialization of the RT.
4.2.10 FIFO READ
Address: 8 R
This address is used to read the contents of the interrupt FIFO. Reading this address pops the
FIFO, updates the IVR and the AVR; then outputs the AVR(upper byte) and IVR(lower byte).
4.2.11 FIFO RESET
Address: 8 W
Writing any value to this address empties the FIFO.
4.2.12 LAST COMMAND REGISTER Address: 11 R
This register holds the last command word as defined by MIL-Bus. The contents are not defined
after initialization of the RT.
4.2.13 LAST STATUS REGISTER
Address: 12 R
This register holds the last status word as defined by MIL- STD- 1553B. After initialization of the
BUSY bit= 1, the TADR field contains the hardwire address, and all other bits are set to 0. See
RTC CONTROL REGISTER for special options.
4.2.14 RESET REMOTE TERMINAL Address: 15 W
Writing a word to address 15 resets the RT and causes it to perform its initialization (see
initialization section).
4.2.15 ENCODER STATUS
Address: 18
R
This register contains flags indicating the status of the encoder. These flags are intended to
facilitate transmission of messages in loop- back mode during self- test.

TXREQ_L

EOTX_L

FAILSAFE_L
TXREQ_ L
Bits: 15
0= Indicates that the encoder is ready to accept the next word for transmission. This bit should
equal "0" before loading the Encoder Data register with the next word. In order to transmit
contiguous words, the next word should be loaded within 18 microseconds after *TXREQ
transitions to "0".
EOTX_ L
Bits: 7
0= Indicates that the encoder has completed transmission and that there are no pending
requests.
FAILSAFE_ L
Bits: 0
0= FAILSAFE TIME OUT has occurred. This bit will be set to a "1" when a new message is
received or during a reset.
