Weird. It sounds like it's saying that the range for the voltage on your 
+3.3V lead should be between 0.82 and 3.26, which is not what I'd expect 
for the limits on such a range. Given a standard 10% allowable variance, 
I'd think the limits should be 2.97 and 3.63.

Okay, that looks a little too wide, so maybe something like 3.2 and 3.4?

Either way, a range from 0.82 to 3.26 makes no sense to me, and 3.28 is 
so close to the correct voltage that everything ought to be fine.

Maybe the detector's limits are configurable, and its configuration is a 
little bit borked?
