BIT Number of Errors byte 14
Number of BIT errors
If there is more than one BIT error, then it will take several ensembles to output all the BIT errors. For ex-
ample, if there are 3 BIT errors detected, then the output will be BBB = 3xx on ensemble n, BBB = 3yy on
ensemble n+1, and BBB = 3zz on ensemble n+2, where xx, yy, and zz are the three different error mes-
sages detected.
