Codes with positive values are statuses or updates. Codes with negative values are errors and
warnings.
Each error code number is associated with a brief text explanation. However, many of the error texts
are customized with specific information, such as a particular SMU or ID number. See the
Customized error texts (on page 13-208
) for an explanation of the type of customized data.
In addition to error codes, some conditions may prevent a valid measurement condition. In these
cases, the reported measurement value reports a condition. This is usually a large number with an
exponent of 10
22
or 10
23
. See Large number reported readings and explanations (on page 13-214) for
the conditions associated with these large numbers.
