Further echo curves are stored via:• PC with PACTware/DTM• Control system with EDD9.3 Asset Management functionThe instrument features self-monitoring and diagnostics accordingto NE 107 and VDI/VDE 2650. In addition to the status messages inthe following tables there are more detailed error messages availableunder the menu item "Diagnostics" via the display and adjustmentmodule, PACTware/DTM and EDD.The status messages are divided into the following categories:• Failure• Function check• Out of specification• Maintenance requirementand explained by pictographs:41 2 3Fig. 37: Pictographs of the status messages1 Failure - red2 Out of specification - yellow3 Function check - orange4 Maintenance - blueFailure: Due to a malfunction in the instrument, a failure message isoutputted.This status message is always active. It cannot be deactivated by theuser.Function check: The instrument is in operation, the measured valueis temporarily invalid (for example during simulation).This status message is inactive by default. It can be activated by theuser via PACTware/DTM or EDD.Out of specification: The measured value is unstable because theinstrument specification is exceeded (e.g. electronics temperature).This status message is inactive by default. It can be activated by theuser via PACTware/DTM or EDD.Maintenance: Due to external influences, the instrument functionis limited. The measurement is affected, but the measured value isstill valid. Plan in maintenance for the instrument because a failure isexpected in the near future (e.g. due to buildup).Status messages
