Error Messages

Table 3-3 lists and describes messages that are generated by the Counter during Self-Test or during operation to indicate that a problem has been detected. These messages are displayed on the Counter’s front-panel display and are also sent via the RS-232 serial output (note that, in many cases, the exact message text that is displayed on the front panel is a condensed form of the message that is sent via RS-232).
