CSTATUS
The relay also reports status information in the Compressed ASCII format
when you issue the CST command. The Compressed ASCII status message is
shown in Figure 6.33:

Figure 6.33 Compressed ASCII Status Message
Definitions for the items and fields in the Compressed ASCII configuration
are listed below:
➤ yyyy is the checksum
➤ x is text in the FID (Firmware ID) string
➤ ccrd is the communications card hex code
➤ (description) is text that the relay supplies
➤ (Ok or W or F) is normal, warning, or failure, respectively
Figure 6.34 is a sample Compressed ASCII status message.
