The masked offscale (+ or -) status is a bit masks. If any channel is offscale then the
corresponding bit is set in the mask. For example, if the mask is 0x03, then channels 1 and 2 are
offscale. The calibration status is also a bit mask. If any channel’s calibration is out of range,
then the corresponding bit is set in the mask.
