yyyy ddd hh mm ss  <message part 2> 
... 
yyyy ddd hh mm ss  <message part n> 

The 'yyyy ddd hh mm ss' identifies the time on the instrument clock at the time when the message 
was recorded. The possible values of <message part 1> are given below. Usually there is only the 
<message part 1>.

<name>: Symbol not found.   

Please notify KIPP & ZONEN <[email protected]> of the circumstances in which 
this message was generated. 

A command used only by one mode was entered in another mode.

 

Please notify KIPP & ZONEN <[email protected]> of the circumstances in which 
this message was generated. 

Analog: initialization timed out. 

During initialization the circuitry used to read analog input channels failed to initialize 
properly. 

Attempt to exceed max boundary

 

An M command was issued to a position beyond the highest in the range of the motor. 
Instead it was moved to the highest legal position. 

Attempt to exceed min boundary

 

An M command was issued to a position beyond the lowest in the range of the motor. 
Instead it was moved to the lowest legal position. 

Bad command, no config variables: 

A command was issued which required configuration when no configuration was loaded. The 
subsequent message indicates the command. If the instrument is in Cosmac mode at the 
time, it also responds immediately with "Sorry, need configuration variables."
