The softwareStatus field contains flags that indicate various software conditions and
alerts that are not errors or problems (See Table 41). The softwareStatus flag in the
BITstatus field is the bit-wise OR of the logical AND of the softwareStatus field and the
softwareStatusEnable field. The softwareStatusEnable field is a bit mask that allows the
user to select items of interest that will logically flow up to the masterStatus flag.

The sensorStatus field contains flags that indicate various internal sensor conditions and
alerts that are not errors or problems (See Table 42). The sensorStatus flag in the
BITstatus field is the bit-wise OR of the logical AND of the sensorStatus field and the
sensorStatusEnable field. The sensorStatusEnable field is a bit mask that allows the user
to select items of interest that will logically flow up to the masterStatus flag.

Configuring the Master Status
9.16
The masterStatus byte and its associated programmable alerts are configured using the
Read Field and Write Field command as described in Section 8, Advanced Commands.
Table 43 shows the definition of the bit mask for configuring the status signals.

hardwareStatusEnable Field
This field is a bit mask of the hardwareStatus field (see BIT and status definitions). This
field allows the user to determine which low level hardwareStatus field signals will flag
the hardwareStatus and masterStatus flags in the BITstatus field. Any asserted bits in this
