status information (z...z)
length = 12 char
<variable status>.................ASCII ..........................................................8 char
<module status> .................ASCII ..........................................................4 char
<variable status>= K32..K29 K28..K25 … K8..K5 K4..K1 =
hex 12345678
1
2 7 8
ASCII "12345678"
<module status>= M16..M13 M12..M9 M8..M5 M4..M1 =
hex 9ABC
9
A B C
ASCII "XY"
If the bit Kn in the variable status is set it indicates that an error has occurred in variable n. A variable error is given
when the measuring value is outside of the linearization, e.g. in consequence of a sensor break down or of a short
circuit in the line.
If the bit Mn in the module status is set it indicates that an error has occurred in the data logger. Valid is:
M1 = 1: EEPROM - error
M5 = 1: RTD - error
M2 = 1: FLASH - error
M6 = 0: (currently not occupied)
M3 = 1: ADC - error
:
M4 = 1: configuration - error
M16 = 0:(currently not occupied)
