The communication status of the instrument only has to do with whether we have heard from it recently or not. The communication status can be either OK or ERROR.
communication status is OK if: we have received at least 10 good parsable messages in the last 10 seconds. else: communication status is ERROR
The idea of this feature is to give users an idea of whether the instruments are reliably communicating with the computer and are still connected and acting right. See below for a crappy example - note that the words are not right and all the columns are not filled in.
