Problem summary

  • The code monitoring possible error conditions on the hardware
    contained tolerances that were too low and were producing events
    on normal operating conditions.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The tolerance algorithm was improved and normal conditions are
    being excluded to decrease the amount of false event messages.
    

Temporary fix
