E.2.4 Instrument status
The instrument status value is in hexadecimal notation (0x<hex>) and is divided into a state field (bits 7 - 0) and a set of flags (bits
31 - 8).

5 ref sensor tests failed
6 slipped
7 not functioning (e.g. FU set illegal)
10 waiting for certain conditions to be met before proceeding (temperature, no motor alarm, LL command)
11 in process of stopping prior to entering next state
15 resetting, requesting encoder offsets
16 resetting, getting encoder offsets
19 resetting, moving to reset position
20 resetting, waiting till reset position reached
21 resetting, testing sensors
22 resetting, moving towards ref sensors
