Status Register
The Status System in the power meter is shown in Figure 1-12. The
Operation Status and Questionable Status groups are 16 bits wide, while
the Status Byte and Standard Event groups are 8 bits wide. In all 16-bit
groups, the most significant bit (bit 15) is not used and is always set to 0.
