Error searching support

After some hours of searching for the defective sensor (DS18B20), I propose a firmware suport...
would that be possible?
 
How do you propose this would work? Since the sensors share a common data line, depending on bad sensor
behavior, one sensor could bring down the entire bus.

For systems with short cable lengths I include DIP switch to isolated each 18B20 - not so much for
troubleshooting but to help associate each with a Temp channel

For a bad sensor bring down whole bus, the only way to isolate that bad sensor is to disconnect one sensor at a time, because there is just so much you can do for short circuit chip.
If the error is sensor itself not functioning, then look the GUI and found the sensor unique ID code that will help you to identify the bad sensor. Although MAXIM did not mark the sensor ID on the package, you can add a label with partial unique sensor ID on it.  When GUI indicates which sensor failed, you can go find that sensor with unique ID and replace it.
