C.6.2a Setting Up Error Handling
This menu option lets you set how the XGS868i will handle the outputs for measurements and average (two-path)
measurements during an error condition. See Chapter 2, Error Codes, in the Service Manual for a discussion of the
built-in error codes.
1. From the Input/Output option, highlight and double-click on the Error Handling option in the center pane.
2. Double-click on the desired Error Handling selection (as shown in Table 23 and Table 24).
a. If you selected Error Level in mA, enter the 4-20 mA Error Level (the number of milliamps the analog output
will put out during a fault condition). Enter a whole number between 0 and 22, and click
See Table 23 and Table 24 for a description of the error handling options available and how the totalizers and display
respond to them for a single and two-channel meter.
