B.5 SDI-12 RESPONSE HEALTH STATUS CODES/ERROR INDICATORS
The Status field is the last field returned in any of the SDI-12 measurement commands. A value
other than one which appears in the Status Code table means more than one status flag was
detected. In that case, the returned value is the sum of the status codes detected.
For example: Status code 3 = Codes 1 and 2 triggered
Status code 7 = Codes 1,2, and 4 triggered
Section B.5.2 provides different methods which can be used to determine the individual status
indicators if multiple status flags were triggered.

B.5.1 Managing Status Indicators
If using an Axiom Datalogger, status codes of 1, 2 and 4 (and by default 3 and 7) are managed by the
Datalogger. When one of the aforementioned codes is detected, the Axiom Datalogger will
automatically send the required X-command to rectify the situation. If your Axiom is continuously
