Model 360E Instruction Manual Operating Instructions
6.15.4.7. Setting Hessen Protocol Status Flags
Teledyne Instruments’ implementation of Hessen protocols includes a set of status bits that the instrument
includes in responses to inform the host computer of its condition. Each bit can be assigned to one operational
and warning message flag. The default settings for these bit/flags are:

NOTES:
It is possible to assign more than one flag to the same Hessen status bit. This allows
the grouping of similar flags, such as all temperature warnings, under the same status
bit.
Be careful not to assign conflicting flags to the same bit as each status bit will be
triggered if any of the assigned flags is active.
