The STAT command displays the status of the transmitter in 4 characters.

The characters in the output have the following meaning:

[sensor purge] - [output frozen] - [settling] - [status]

During normal measurement all characters are zeroes. When purge is activated, output frozen, or the transmitter is in the settling period after sensor purge, the corresponding status character is 1.

The final status character can have several values:
0
Normal status
1

7
Retrying auto-calibration due to fluctuations in the supply voltage
9

Some example status codes:
0109
