Health Status
Contains the leak sensor flags and flags to indicate whether the
transmit voltage, transmit current, and transducer impedance
have been updated. These update flags are set when the meas-
urement is made, and cleared after each ensemble output.

Leak A Count
Raw A/D reading, in counts, for leak sensor A. See PC5/50 com-
mand for more details on how to decode the raw A/D counts into
Leak Status.
139-142
70-71
Leak B Count
Raw A/D reading, in counts, for leak sensor B. See PC5/50 com-
mand for more details on how to decode the raw A/D counts into
Leak Status.
143-146
72-73
Tx Voltage
Voltage delivered to transducer during transmit. See
Voltage, Current, and Impedance
Scaling: LSD = 0.001 volt
(Value set to 0xFFFF if a valid reading is not available.)
147-150
74-75
Tx Current
Current delivered to transducer during transmit. See
Voltage, Current, and Impedance
Scaling: LSD = 0.001 ampere
(Value set to 0xFFFF if a valid reading is not available.)
151-154
76-77
Transducer Imped-
ance
Measured impedance of transducer, calculated by dividing volt-
age by current. See
Transducer Voltage, Current, and Impedance
for more information.
Scaling: LSD = 0.001 ohm
(Value set to 0xFFFF if a valid reading is not available or for any
reading greater than 65.535 ohms.)
If there is more than one BIT error, then it will take several ensembles to output all the BIT
errors. For example, if there are 3 BIT errors detected, then the output will be Bytes13, 14 =
03,xx on ensemble n, Bytes13, 14 = 03,yy on ensemble n+1, and Bytes13, 14 = 03,zz on
ensemble n+2, where xx, yy, and zz are the three different error messages detected.
