You can only use this function if the panel firmware version is greater than or equal to revision 10.0. This function uses reads earth /
ground status information from the panel.
If, for example, card 3 reports information then the driver uses array elements 6 & 7 to store information for this card. Obtain the
array location by multiplying the card number by two.
If the card reports positive and negative earth data then the driver stores the positive earth data at location 6 and the negative earth
data at location 7.
If the card reports earth / ground state information without the keywords ‘Positive’ or ‘Negative’ the driver stores the data at location
6.
The driver stores a value of 1 to report normal and a value of 2 to report abnormal.
