This command names a special point that the driver publishes to the Cascade DataHub containing the overall status of the driver. Clients may monitor this point to determine the overall health of the driver. A value of 0 indicates no errors are being detected.
The status point is a 32-bit integer, segmented as 1 byte for each of the CIF cards that have been initialized (up to 4, see cardInit). Card 0 corresponds to the low byte; card 3 to the high byte.
Within each byte (card), each bit indicates the following information:
| Bit | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0x01 CIF_STATUS_NOTREADY | Power-up initialization unsuccessful. |
| 1 | 0x02 CIF_STATUS_NOTRUNNING | Card not fully operational. |
| 2 | 0x04 CIF_STATUS_NOCOMM | Fieldbus exchange inactive/error. |
| 3 | 0x08 CIF_STATUS_ERROR | Error detected. |
| 4 | none | none |
| 5 | none | none |
| 6 | none | none |
| 7 | none | none |
If this command is specified more than once, the name of the status point will be the one provided by the last command. Previous status point names will not be deleted from the datahub, but they will not be updated when the status data changes.
