The bits MODE and FORM in this register indicate the mode, form and correction scheme of the current frame.
Table 11 STAT2 register bits
Table 12 MODE and FORM bits
The Mode bit is always copied from the CTRL1 register.
The Form information is determined by the AUTORQ bit in
the CTRL0 register. When this bit is set to logic 0, the Form
information is copied from the CTRL1 register. When this
bit is set to logic 1 the Form information is copied from the
mode header byte.
If correction of the block was impossible, FORM will be set
to logic 1 regardless of the requested correction. This will
happen under the following circumstances:
1996 Apr 25
An illegally synchronized block (ILSYNC = 1 or
LBLK = 1)
A data block specified as Mode 2, Form 2, or detected
as Mode 2, Form 2
A Mode 2 submode byte error detected during
processing
A mode mismatch detected by the mode check function
(MCHQRQ = 1)
A mode byte error detected by the mode check function
(MCHQRQ = 1).
