Table I-3 - Status Byte
Note:
These values are not updated in the status byte when the listed condition
occurs. They are made available when the computer next sends a
command that includes the status byte in the response. The flags are
cleared when the condition causing a flag to be set has been resolved
or by re-enabling (E command) the DV-III-Ultra.
The DV-III Ultra must first be issued the E(nable) command to enable control circuitry and ascertain its
current status. The DV-III Ultra will respond with an echo of the E(nable) command and will append
the current status <ss> of the DV-III Ultra. This 2-digit status byte will provide information as to the
rheometer's internal working condition and capability to continue with or to accept new tasks.
