Display List Items

regions.

The display list for all displayable items, including the items relating to the ILC2
option board, can be programmed using Metercat meter support software.
ILC2 Option Board Error Codes
Unlike standard A3 ALPHA meter error codes, ILC2 option board error codes
must be programmed as a displayable item in the A3 ALPHA meter display list
using Metercat support software; otherwise, the meter LCD will not display any
indication that a condition exists that affects the ILC2 option board's operation.
Error conditions and codes identify the ILC2 option board error conditions and
the associated display quantity value. The quantity identifier is the same for all
ILC2 option board error codes and can be programmed to be any numeric char-
acter (represented by
i
in Table 1).
Table 1. Error conditions and codes
Error codes may be displayed in combination (for example,
iii 100100
), indicat-
ing that more than one error condition has been detected.
No error.
This code is displayed when no error condition exists in the ILC2
option board. Since ILC2 option board error codes must be programmed as dis-
play items, this code is used when no error condition is present in the ILC2
option board.
