4.4ATT Status Conditions

The ATT provides the following general status condition.

Status Condition

Description

FIELD CONFIG MODIFIED

Set when the configuration is modified from the Model

 

1200. This status condition will only be available to the

 

host computer and will not appear on the Model 1200.

4.5ATT Configuration Error Checking

The ATT performs extensive integrity checking on the configuration data before it uses it for calculations. If a configuration error is detected, the ATT will generate a CONFIG ERROR status. The status is displayed on the local display, available to the Model 1200 via the Diagnostic/Status Menu, and available to the host computer. To help isolate the type configuration error, the operator can look at CFG ERROR TYPE item under the Diagnostic/Status Menu.

The following are the type of configuration errors and what causes them. The word 'Invalid' implies that the ATT was expecting one of a certain set of values to be assigned to a particular configuration option. This may have been caused by a sudden power outage, a failure in the EEPROM memory, or an invalid configuration received from a host computer.
