If a Measurement Data Status is Displayed
If measurement or stress force cannot be performed correctly, the measurement data
status is displayed at the bottom of the GRAPHICS, LIST, KNOB SWEEP, or
STRESS FORCE screen. The status indicates hardware and calculation errors.
The status format depends on the displayed screen as follows:
GRAPH/LIST: GRAPHICS and KNOB SWEEP screen
