The ChannelStatus register describes the actual status. Depending on the status of the module the bits will be set or reset. The
bit InputError will be set if the given parameter is not plausible or it exceeds the module parameters (e.g. if the command
V
set
=4000V is given to a module with NominalVoltage=3000V). The bit InputError is not set if the given values are temporarily not
possible (e.g. V
set
=2800 at a module with NominalVoltage=3000V, but HardwareLimitVoltage=2500V). A certain signature which
kind of input error it is does not exist.
