DIAGNOSTICS DEVICE ERRORS In addition to the BLOCK_ERR and XD_ERROR parameters, more detailed
information on the measurement status can be obtained via
DIAGN_DEV_ALERT. TableF-17 lists the potential errors and the possible
corrective actions for the given values. The corrective actions are in order of
increasing system level compromises. The first step should always be to reset
the gauge and then if the error persists, try the steps in TableF-17. Start with
the first corrective action and then try the second.
