6.13.4.7. Setting Hessen Protocol Status Flags

Teledyne Instruments’ implementation of Hessen protocols includes a set of status bits that the
instrument includes in responses to inform the host computer of its condition. Each bit can be

assigned to one operational and warning message flag. The default settings for these bit/flags
are:

NOTES:

It is possible to assign more than one flag to the same Hessen status bit. This allows

the grouping of similar flags, such as all temperature warnings, under the same status

bit.

Be careful not to assign conflicting flags to the same bit as each status bit will be

triggered if any of the assigned flags is active.
