Decoding Error Codes to Byte Codes in CobraNet Discovery (Disco)

There is some confusion regarding how to decode what is shown in the "errorCode" column within Disco and resolve it into a Byte Code that can be researched using the
CobraNet Programmer's Reference Manual
(available from
Cirrus Logic
at the
CobraNet website
).
Please note, the method is different depending on if you are using the CM-1 or CM-2 platforms. The methods are similar, but for the CM-1 platform you use the two most significant digits while for the CM-2 platform you use the two least significant digits. I will detail this below.
CM-1 Platform
1. Read Hexadecimal error code
0x
220002
in Disco
2. Convert the FIRST two digits of the Hexadecimal value
0x
22
0002
to decimal notation =
34
3. Look up byte code
34
in Programmer's Reference Manual and see that
34 = Beat Flooded
CM-2 Platform
1. Read Hexadecimal error code
0x
1022
in Disco
2. Convert the LAST two digits of the Hexadecimal value
0x
10
22
to decimal notation =
34
3. Look up byte code
34
in Programmer's Reference Manual and see that
34 = Beat Flooded
-Please note-
When you are using Disco version 4.x and newer, you should be able to read the Hexadecimal value directly from the errorCode column in CobraNet Discovery (Disco). If you are using an older version of Disco you may see just a string of numbers in the errorCode column instead of a Hexadecimal value. The Hexadecimal values are always prefixed with "0x" to note that they are Hexadecimal values so it should be obvious what you are seeing.
If you see a string of numbers in the errorCode column and it is not prefixed with "0x" you need to convert that number to a Hexadecimal value FIRST, then follow the steps outlined above.
For example, if you are using a CM-1 platform you may see a number like:
2228226
Convert the number to Hexadecimal:
0x
220002
Now you can see that we are right where we started with the example above with the CM-1 platform.
To continue the example with the CM-2 platform, you may see a number like:
4130
Convert the number to Hexadecimal:
0x
1022
...and we are back to the example above.
Have fun and good luck out there!
