c) If a To Do entry is created on the VEE exception, the user will need to discard the IMD and a new IMD will be loaded after 30 minutes.
d) If a To Do entry is created on the VEE exception, the IMD’s Next Retry Date/Time is set to 30 minutes, and then processed by the algorithm D1-CRE-IMDTD (Create To Do)
e) If a To Do entry is created on the VEE exception, the user will need to discard the IMD and a new IMD will be manually loaded.
If a To Do entry is created on the VEE exception, the IMD’s Next Retry Date/Time is set to 30 minutes, and then processed by the algorithm D1-IMD-RETRY (Retry Initial Measurement Data Processing)
