Definition of the status
Status byte
The status is used to provide information about the quality of the input and output values.
This information is classified into four stages. Quality stages such as "Bad", "Uncertain",
"Good" and "Good (cascade)" are accompanied with further information. In this case, it deals
with the sub-status and the limit bits. The status byte has the following structure:

Value is constant.
The meaning of the sub-status depends on whether the condensed status is activated or not.
The sub-status is therefore specified separately for both the cases.
