ATT 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.

FIELD CONFIG MODIFIED
