Two icons appear in the status bar: “Warnings” and “Failures” .
Warning and failure messages are generated by INS in its Unit Status Word
(see Appendix D) and appear near and icons. You can close these
messages by clicking on them.
Also, average data rate appears in the left part of the status bar in about 10
seconds after INS started data output. Note this is rate of data received by
PC, not INS data rate. So numbers in the status bar are variable in contrast
