The function usbduxsigma_getstatusinfo() returns a negative value in case there has been a communication error with the board. This should always work and if this communication fails then there is something seriously wrong with the board. This is now returned to the caller so that it can terminte the auto attachement. The return command also prevents printing out the offset value in case of a fault.
