executed.
Not used
Query error
This bit is set in either of the two following cases: the controller wants to read data from the
sensor but has not sent a query, or it sends new commands to the sensor before it
retrieves existing requested data. A frequent cause is a faulty query which cannot be exe-
cuted.
Device-dependent error
This bit is set if a sensor dependent error occurs. An error message with a number
between -300 and -399 or a positive error number denoting the error in greater detail is
entered in the error queue.
Execution error
This bit is set if the syntax of a received command is correct but the command cannot be
executed due to various marginal conditions. An error message with a number between
-200 and -300 denoting the error in greater detail is entered in the error queue.
Command error
This bit is set if an undefined command or a command with incorrect syntax is received. An
error message with a number between -100 and -200 denoting the error in greater detail is
entered in the error queue.
User request
This bit is set when the sensor is switched over to manual control.
Power on
This bit is set when the sensor is switched on.
