Indicates that the main memory area used for storing instrument states and sequences as
well as other data files is corrupt. The system will automatically clear and reconfigure
this memory area. A potential cause is a failing backup battery. Another potential cause
could be the loss of line power to the instrument in the middle of a write operation.
