14.2 Path Code Violation Count Register (PCVCR)
14.2.1 T1 Operation
The path code violation count register records Ft, Fs, or CRC6 errors in T1 frames. When the receive side
of a framer is set to operate in the T1 ESF framing mode, PCVCR records errors in the CRC6 codewords.
When set to operate in the T1 D4 framing mode, PCVCR counts errors in the Ft framing bit position.
Through the ERCNT.2 bit, a framer can be programmed to also report errors in the Fs framing bit
position. The PCVCR is disabled during receive loss-of-synchronization (RLOS = 1) conditions.

14.2.2 E1 Operation
The path code violation-count register records CRC4 errors. Since the maximum CRC4 count in a one-
second period is 1000, this counter cannot saturate. The counter is disabled during loss-of-sync at either
the FAS or CRC4 level; it continues to count if loss-of-multiframe sync occurs at the CAS level.
Path code violation-count register 1 (PCVCR1) is the most significant word and PCVCR2 is the least
significant word of a 16-bit counter that records path violations (PVs).
