4.2.2 Diagnostics
In addition to the BLOCK_ERR and XD_ERROR parameters, more detailed information on
the measurement status can be obtained through the TB_ELECTRONICS_STATUS. Table 4-4
lists the potential errors and the possible corrective actions for the given values.

Condition
number
Condition name and description
15 Out of Service: The actual mode is out of service.
16 Unspecified error: An unidentified error occurred.
17 General Error: A general error that cannot be specified below
occurred.
18 Calibration Error: An error occurred during calibration of the device,
or a calibration error was detected during normal operations.
19 Configuration Error: An error occurred during configuration of the
device, or a configuration error was detected during normal
operations.
20 Electronics Failure: An electrical component failed.
21 Mechanical Failure: A mechanical component failed.
22 I/O Failure: An I/O failure occurred.
23 Data Integrity Error: Data stored in the device are no longer valid
due to a nonvolatile memory checksum failure, a data verify after
write failure, etc.
24 Software Error: The software has detected an error due to an
improper interrupt service routine, an arithmetic overflow, a
watchdog time-out, etc.
25 Algorithm Error: The algorithm used in the transducer block
produced an error due to overflow, data reasonableness failure, etc.
