6.2 Error Messages
• Basic Errors: These errors are displayed independently of which error message function is selected.
• Transducer Errors: These errors only occur when error massage function is set to TRANS.ERROR or
ALL ERRORS
• I/O Errors: These errors only occur when TRANS.ERROR or ALL ERRORS is set to I/O Errors or All
Errors
• All Errors: All errors can occur
• Errors are encoded as follows:
