8.2
Parameter Status
The Parameter Status can take any of the following values, OR a combination of these states.
For example: If there is a config error, the status value will be 0x0003
If there is a config error and an internal error, the status will take a value of 0x0023
Bit
Hex
Name
Comment
Bit 0
0x0001 General error
This bit is always set in case there is an issue with the parameter. It
can be used by the general user or application programmer to alert
an issue with that parameter output. For details check the other bits
Bit 1
0x0002 Config error
The parameter is not configured or there exists a configuration
error.
Bit 2
0x0004 Hardware
error
The parameter cannot be calculated as the hardware failed.
Example: Temperature sensor has failed.
Bit 3
0x0008 Dependent
error
A parameter source for a dependent parameter is not available.
Example: In case of a free formula a referenced parameter is NAN.
Bit 4
0x0010 Not ready
No result is yet available.
Example: No measurement has been taken yet. The algorithm
requires a run-in time
Bit 5
0x0020 Internal error
Internal error - Report to Rheonics
Bit 6
0x0040 Calibration
Error
Diagnostics
Bit 7
0x0080 Further use
Bit 8
0x0100 Parameter
Calibrated
Triggered when parameter has a calibration/scale factor/coefficient
applied to it.
Bit 9
0x0200 Model
Loaded
Active when a model has been loaded in script parameters. Only
valid for parameters 19,20,21
Bit
10
0x0400 Filtering
Active
Active when there is a filter loaded for that parameter
Bit
11
0x0800 Not stable
Parameter result not yet stable
Example: Set for example on viscosity if sensor status is not okay.
Bit
12
0x1000 Warning
lower
Below lower warning limit (if configured for parameter)
Bit
13
0x2000 Warning
upper
Above upper warning limit (if configured for parameter)
Bit
14
0x4000 Alarm lower
Below alarm limit (Hardcoded depending on parameter type)
Bit
15
0x8000 Alarm upper
Above alarm limit (Hardcoded depending on parameter type)
