Measurement status registers are rarely used. But here is an example to explain the difference
between Channel status and Measurement status.
Example: Brg 1X Radial Vibration channel has alarms configured for the Direct, 1X Amplitude, and 2X
Amplitude measurements. Table 21-4 shows a scenario where the Direct Measurement is in Alert,
and the 1X Amplitude Measurement is in Danger. The Channel status will follow the highest
measurement status.
