which error type was occurred. On the next new READ register the ERROR FLAG is cleared

Table 12 Clear Error Flag Comm and

Possible conditions which force the ERROR FLAG to be set:

wrong parity

wrong number of clocks (no full transmission cycle or too many clocks)

Note: If the error flag is set to high because of a communication problem the flag remains set until it will be cleared by the

CLERAR ERROR FLAG command.
