If the scan finds previously installed devices without configuration changes, the main measurement
screen of the device in the number one position appears immediately after the scan is complete.
If a device has been removed from the controller or is not found during the next power-cycled or
menu-driven scan, the controller displays a DEVICE MISSING message and prompts to delete the
missing device.
If no sensor is connected to an installed analog module, the controller will indicate an error. If devices
