2.2.5 Error Handling and
Timeouts
A timeout (Figure 2-4) signifies that the accQcomm is not
receiving readings in the proper format from the configured
instrument within the specified time period (default setting 90
seconds). If a timeout occurs, the accQcomm will continue to
display the last valid reading, incrementing the Timeout counter,
and continue to increment the counter with each consecutive
Timeout. If the “Clear all data” box is checked, when the counter
exceeds the specified number of timeouts, all data for that
instrument will be cleared, and the accQcomm display will read
NO DATA until the next valid reading, at which time the counter
will reset to zero.
If the accQcomm receives readings in the proper format and
within the specified time period, but one or more values within
the reading are marked bad, no Timeout will occur. The bad
values are represented on the display with two dashes (– –). See
section 2.6.4 for more information about bad data.
