How to Interpret the Output from “!” Specifier
The output from “!” specifier reports an output in hexadecimals that must be converted to a 32-bit
binary number that correlates to a status code from Table 5.7 . Refer to the following table for an
example of bit patterns:
Table 8.4—Bit Pattern Examples
Bit Number
Simple Description
(Refer to
Table 5.7
)
Bit Pattern
0 Temperature 0x80000001
1 Supply voltage 0x80000002
2 Broken gage 0x80000004
3 Busy bit 0x80000008
4 Reserved N/A
5 Other 0x80000020
6 Reserved N/A
7 Calibration Not Accessible 0x80000080
8 to 26 Reserved N/A
27 Gage out of range 0x88000000
28 Simulated error 0x10000000
29 Calibration checksum error 0xA0000000
30 F/T out of range 0xC0000000
31 Any error 0x80000000
-- Healthy 0x00000000
If there is more than one error present, the bit pattern can be different, for example:
user:
S !
response:
80000005
Using a free online calculator, a user can convert the hexadecimal number to a binary number:
Hex
8 0 0 0 0 0 0 5
Binary 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101
The binary number has 32-bits total. The least significant bit is on the right end of the following
table. “1” means the bit is on. “0” means the bit is off.
Binary
Number
1 0 0 0 0 000 0000 0000 0000 0000 00 0 0 0 1 0 1

Position
31 30 29 28 27 26 to 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
So in this example, bit number 0, 2 and 31 are on. According to the preceeding table, the sensor
has a “temperature”, “broken gage error”, and “any error” status codes. For more information,
refer to Table 5.7 .
