I have written a script to decode the STATE_WORD reported on a model's GDS_TP MEDM screen. The script is called decode_state_word and takes the STATE_WORD as its argument.
For example, last night the h1iopoaf0 STATE_WORD went from 512 to 652 (data obtained from dataviewer trends)
david.barker@zotws2: decode_state_word 512
