The wire break test can only be disabled via data set 237.
Diagnostics is suppressed in the event of a reference channel error.

Measured value taken from the reference channel
Explanations of the cases:
The "wire break" diagnostics is reported.
This has a higher priority than the "Underflow" diagnos-
tics.*
The "Reference channel error" diagnostics is reported if
this is enabled. Where own pending diagnostic infor-
mation ("overflow" or "underflow") is reported as out-
going. Wire break diagnostics is detected independently
of the measured value and has the same priority as the
"Reference channel error" diagnostics. Both items of diag-
nostic information can be pending simultaneously. The
measured value of the reference channel (RTD channel) is
adopted for the TC channel. The validity of the measured
value of the TC channel is irrelevant.
No diagnostics reported. A wire break check is carried
out (i.e. test current flows).*
Behavior corresponds to case 1.

Measured values are in the valid measuring range
No "wire break" diagnostics is reported. No wire break
check is carried out (i.e. no test current flows). This is
required to calibrate thermocouples, since the test current
necessary for a wire break check leads to measurement
errors during calibration.*
