Troubleshooting
In this chapter you will read about recognizing initialization errors,
interpreting status indicators, and status codes for troubleshooting
purposes. We will also show you how to conduct a test to verify that your
ASCII module is operating correctly.
If you should set bits of initialization words to an invalid range, the
module detects an initialization error and will not operate. Invalid settings
of initialization words are listed in Table 6.A.
