staA | S or P | 3 SUN, 3 SKY |
staB | S or P | 3 SUN, 3 SKY, 4 ALM, BLACK |
staC | S | 3 SUN, 3 SKY, 4 ALM, 4 PP, BLACK |

staD | S or P | 3 SUN |
staE | S | 3 SUN, 4 PP |
staE | P | 3 SUN, 4 PP, PPP |
staF | S | 3 SUN, 4 ALM, 4 PP, BLACK |

Abnormal Condition Status | CONDITION | |
stab | S or P | Robot error |
star | S or P | Reset error |
stah | S or P | Humidity sensor activated* |
stas | S or P | Filter wheel error |
* The activation of Humidity sensor does not mean that there is problem with the instrument. It usually only means that the normal auto operation is interrupted due to wet condition, and is to be resumed after the wet sensor gets dry again.
Misc. When two statuses occur with no data between them, e.g., STA STA, the filter wheel is not working properly.
