If I remember it well, EAC always re read the suspicios block a fixed time (I guess 8 times the first time) and if, lets say , 7 of the 8 reads of the same block produce the same value, and only one is different then EAC assumes that the most common value is the right value. Thats why it always fill the first line of leds. If EAC finds 4 for one value, and the other 4 for some other value, then it will read 8 times more ( the second row of leds) and then decide again. If by 64 re-reads (or 32 dont remember well now) it cant decide whats the right value for the block, it will give a data error message.
