What do I see in the STATUS channel?

In this article you can find information about which events are registered in STATUS channel and how you can interpret the values you see.

The STATUS channel contains information about the events which were introduced either by the user or the device itself. Although the STATUS channel is not visualized in Quick Recording Application (QRA) during recording, it is always stored in the measurement file.

Looking at the STATUS channel one can figure out what happened with the device during recordings. Table 1 gives an overview of the events that are registered in the STATUS channel.
