Instruments based on the AMI-II transmitter log error messages as:
Alarms as 32 bit integer (E001-E032)
Alarms E(xtended) as 32 bit integer (E033-E064)
The messages are listed in the log file in columns 3 and 4 in hexadecimal format.
Not all alarms are defined on all SWAN instruments and column 4 may not be available.
The AMI-II Alarm Decoder transforms the hexadecimal code into a binary number and checks for active bits. Each active bit represents an error or status message.
