DESCRIPTION 
20 
POWER_BAD 
Set after reset when the read of the power register data has a bad 
longitudinal redundancy check or read failure in both copies.  Two copies 
are used  because a  power failure can occur while one  of the copies  is 
being updated. 
21 
GNDNEUTRAL 
Indicates that a grounded neutral was detected. 
22 
TAMPER 
Tamper was detected †** 
23 
SOFTWARE 
A software defect was detected. 
25 
SAGA 
Element A has a sag condition. This bit is set in real time by the CE and 
detected by the ce_busy interrupt (ce_busy_isr() in ce.c) within 8 sample 
intervals, about 2.6ms. A transition from normal operation to SAGA 
causes the power registers to be saved, because the demo PCB is 
powered from element A. 
26 
SAGB 
Element B has a sag condition. This bit is set in real time by the CE and 
detected by the ce_busy interrupt (ce_busy_isr() in ce.c) within 8 sample 
intervals, about 2.6ms.
27 
SAGC‡ 
Element C has a sag condition. See the description of the other sag bits. 
28 
F0_CE 
A square wave at the line frequency, with a jitter of up to 8 sample 
intervals, about 2.6ms. 
31 
ONE_SEC 
Changes each accumulation interval. 
Table 1-7: MPU Status Word Bit Assignment 
MPU ACCUMULATION OUTPUT VARIABLES 
Accumulation values are accumulated from XFER cycle to XFER cycle (see Table 1-8). They are organized as 
two 32-bit registers. The first register stores the decimal number displayed on the LCD. For example, if the LCD 
shows “001.004”, the value in the first register is 1004. This register wraps around after the value 999999 is 
reached. The second register holds fractions of the accumulated energy, with an LSB of 
9.4045*10
-13
*VMAX*IMAX*In_8 Wh. 
The MPU accumulation registers always hold positive values. 
The CLI commands with two question marks, e.g. )39?? should be used to read the variables.
