Timeouts is a cumulative number that indicates how many times the module has not responded to
the monitor's inquiry.
Bad checksums is a cumulative number that indicates how many times communication from the
module to monitor broke down.
Bad c-s by mod is a cumulative number that indicates how many communication errors the
module has detected.
The monitor starts counting these items at power up and resets to zero at power off. The nonzero
values do not indicate a failure, but the continuous counting indicates either serial communication
failure or module not in place.
The timeouts etc numbers should not grow faster than 50/s.
