Diagnostic performed by master
100% Hardware detection.
No communication possible.
23 Reporting is done through the bits E0 and E1 of the regular messages or the bits Dx of the DiagnosticDetails message. See
Table 8 for more details.
24 Norm = max(abs(X),abs(Y),abs(Z))
25 Diagnostic to be disabled in the 3V3 application diagram (VDD = VDEC).
26 The NTT Message is followed by an Error Message.
27 Resetting has the same effects as a POR: the next SO message is therefore Ready.
