CSTM SBE ERRORS Correct Bit of (-1)

[Rick Kozicki]

Running CSTM in different systems often gives different results. Some system sill give the SBE Bit # nn other always displays (-1).

Can someone tell me how I can get the Bit # and not -1. In my business this is critical.
Below are two examples............thanks

Basically, when you get this, it's because the diagnostic program isnt sure which bit is flipped (based on what I am reading) so its simply telling you as much as it can.
