|
|
|
|
| An attempt was made to send a mode control command to | ||
|
|
|

|
| a device. The required mode is derived from the Data | |
|
|
|
|
| Array value. This message is printed when the driver | ||
| MET1:#01 Err. Cant set mode to |
| doesn’t recognize the value found and thus cannot send | ||||
| state=%d for MD=%s |
|
|
| the command. | This can be resolved by having the | |
|
|
|
|
|
| upstream device send a valid value to the DA:offset | |
|
|
|
|
|
| associated with the reported MD. Refer to the example in | |
|
|
|
|
|
| section 4.9 for more information. | |

| The reported Map Descriptor is being used to send a new | |

| time to zero. MD=%s |
|
|
| The driver cannot send a sample time of zero. This can be | ||

| Message 4a is printed when a response to a poll for the | |
|
|
|
|
|
| Sample/Hold time returned a response whose time cannot | |
|
|
|
|
|
| be correctly understood by the driver. If this error occurs | |
|
|
|
|
|
| rarely it may be a consequence of an occasional | |
|
|
|
|
|
| corruption. If it occurs consistently, take a log, ensure this | |
| MET1:#04a/b | Err. | Invalid | time |
| event occurs at least once during the log and contact Tech | |

| Support. The FieldServer web site provide tools and | ||

|
| Message 4b is printed when the time is formatted correctly | |
|
|
|
|
|
| but found be an invalid time. The same considerations | |
|
|
|
|
|
| apply as with 4a. |

| MET1:#05 FYI. MD=%s too short |
