In most cases, the MC communicates error codes with a text message via the serial port to the host.
Some error codes are also transmitted to the Status Display.
The same message is saved in the EEPROM under an error history log (FLTHIST, ERR) so nothing is lost when power is removed.
Not all errors reflect a message back to the host. In these cases, the no-message errors communicate only to the Status Display.

FPU Precision lost |
Occurs when the result of an operation is not exactly representable in the destination format. For example, 1/3 cannot be precisely represented in binary form.
