8.3.3. CID_DAT_ERROR
The CID_DAT_ERROR status message is generated when a DAT operation is not successful,
usually because a response is not received from the remote interrogated beacon, causing a
timeout.
This message will only be generated if the
CID_DAT_SEND command specified its MSG_TYPE
field to be MSG_REQ, MSG_REQU or MSG_REQX, as only these modes allow the remote
beacon to report back its status.
This message is a status message that may be sent by the beacon at any time (not in
response to a command message) depending on acoustic activity triggering a
transceiver event.
