• PA = Parity error. A parity error has occurred with the received data string.
This usually indicates a mismatch in the serial port set-up of the ASCII
device and the Compact module. It could also indicate that noise has
occurred on the line and degraded the signal. This bit is set when the
receive FIFO contains a message in which a parity error occurred in one of
the incoming bytes. This bit is reset when the receive FIFO is emptied or
when a new message is received with no parity error.
• RO = Receive buffer overflow. Some input data has been lost.
• TO = Transmit buffer overflow. Some output data has been lost.
