Temp error shows the status of the temperature test. No errors found show the
status (OFF) and errors found (ON).
Protect key and Protect mode show normally ON but can be turned to OFF for
the temperature calibration in Calibration Menu.
Configuration shows the chosen module configuration: TP, ST, or STP.
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 the
monitor has
broken 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 (more than 5 per second) indicates either a serial communication
failure, or a module not in place. Also other modules can cause communication
errors that cause these numbers rise.
RAM indicates the state of the RAM memory.
ROM indicates whether the checksum at the EPROM is in accordance with the
one the software has calculated.
EEPROM indicates if the values stored in the permanent memory are valid.
The state is either OK , Fail or ? (module not in place or a communication error).
