On-Error Reports

When enabled, On-Error reports are generated for each second in which error rate is above the current THRES threshold. Note that On-Error reports can be squelched after reports are generated on 10 consecutive seconds, by enabling the SQUEL feature. This is recommended for unattended operation since On-Error reports can generate a lot of paper. An example On-Error report is shown below.
