Action: Convert the configuration error number to a binary value using a program such as the Windows
®
Calculator and use the table below to determine the extent of the problem. For example, a configuration
error of “18” corresponds to a binary value of “10010” (bits 5 and 2 set), which indicates that the
customization for both the ion chamber and settings are invalid.
