a 0 = no pressure control (e.g. if position control is selected)
1 = wide range control (PD control)
2 = close up control (PID control)

a 0 = local operation, 1 = remote operation, 2 = locked remote operation
b 0 = Initialization (Refer to chapter: «Behavior during power up»
1 = synchronization, 2 = POSITION CONTROL, 3 = CLOSED
4 = OPEN, 5 = PRESSURE CONTROL, 6 = HOLD , 7 = LEARN
8 = INTERLOCK (OPEN by digital input)
9 = INTERLOCK (CLOSED by digital input)
C = power failure, D = safety mode
E = fatal error (read «FATAL ERROR STATUS» for details)
c 0 = Power Failure Option (PFO) disabled

h 0 = normal operation, 1 = simulation running
This function returns status information about the valve.
Note: In simulation mode the valve can demonstrate pressure control capability
independent of other equipment such as vacuum chamber, flow controller and gauge.
Normal operation is not possible when simulation is running.
