8.4.4 How to Interpret the Output from "!" Specifier
The output from "!" specifier reports an output in hexadecimals that must be converted to a 32-bit
binary number that correlates to a status code from
example of bit patterns:
Bit Number
If there is more than one error present, the bit pattern can be different, for example:
user:
response:
Using a free online calculator, a user can convert the hexadecimal number to a binary number:
Hex
Binary
The binary number has 32-bits total. The least significant bit is on the right end of the following
table. "1" means the bit is on. "0" means the bit is off.

Position
So in this example, bit number 0, 2 and 31 are on. According to the preceeding table, the sensor
has a "temperature", "broken gage error", and "any error" status codes. For more information,
