Battery 1 (Bat1)

ply to the EEPROM MDS.

Status of the dialog battery with MDS 507
Amount of processing (Work Counter)
Number of processing procedures which were per-
formed with the MDS since it was initially formatted.
This value is particularly important for the EEPROM
MDS since the number of write-accesses is limited
for these types of memory.
ECC Correct
Counter for the number of ECC offsets performed.
If this counter has a value other than zero, the MDS
must be replaced in the near future. An EEPROM
memory was write-accessed too often.
