This bit is used to initialize the alarm history recorded in the PT.
When it is switched from 0 (OFF) to 1 (ON), the alarm history in the PT is initial-
ized.
After initialization, return its status to 0.
Reference:
The alarm history can also be initialized from the MEMORY INIT. MENU screen
under the System Menu of the PT.
2-2-2 PT Status Notify Area (PT to Host)
The PT status notify area is provided to notify the host of changes in the status of
the PT. The host can determine the status of the PT by reading this area.
The PT status notify area is configured as two consecutive words as shown be-
