Error Condition Report Format; Navigating The Error Condition Display - HP 6100 User Manual

Correcting the error removes the associated condition from the error queue. Replacing the EMU
will also clear the error conditions. The order in which the EMU displays the error queue information
is based on two factors:
The severity of the error
The time the error occurred
The most severe error in the queue always has precedence, regardless of how long less severe
errors have been in the queue. This ensures that the most severe errors are displayed immediately.
NOTE: When viewing an error, the occurrence of a more severe error takes precedence and
the display changes to the most severe error.
The earliest reported condition within an error type has precedence over errors reported later. For
example, if errors at all levels have occurred, the EMU displays them in the following order:
1. UNRECOVERABLE errors in the sequence they occurred.
2. CRITICAL errors in the sequence they occurred.
3. NONCRITICAL errors in the sequence they occurred.
4. INFORMATION conditions in the sequence they occurred.

Error condition report format

Element type The first two-digit hexadecimal display defines the element type reporting the
problem. The format for this display is e.t. with a period after each character. Valid element
types are 0.1. through F.F.

element reporting the problem. The format for this display is en. with a period after the second
character.
Error code The third display is a two-digit decimal number that defines the specific error code.
