EFORM Defining the error output format

EFORM

The EFORM command is used to define the user specific error output
format for the serial interface. In case of an internal error, the
barometer outputs the message defined with the EFORM command
instead of the normal message defined with the FORM command. If
the EFORM command is not defined, the barometer uses the FORM
command definition with its optional error status fields.

Example of an EFORM definition:

>eform

? "ERROR" #r #n
>P
1002.93 hPa OK

(correct operation)

>P
ERROR

(incorrect operation)

>

Any previous EFORM definition may be removed with the following
command:

>eform *
>
