This test displays the number of framing and parity errors that are detected in the input
data stream. The error count is set to zero when entering this test. New errors are
displayed as “PxxFxx” where Pxx is the number of parity errors and Fxx is the number of
framing errors. If the error count exceeds 99, the display will remain at 99.

and prompts “OUT 1” to indicate that 1 transmission has occurred. Press the ENTER key
again or press the CLEAR key to exit diagnostic test 3.
NOTE: If the error message “Er CtS” appears, the data cannot be transmitted because the
