Introduction
The Error and Status messaging system of the instrument reports events and
conditions in a consistent fashion, as well as logging and reporting event
history.
Event vs. Condition Messages
— An Event is simply a message indicating that something has happened.
Events are sub-divided according to their severity, into Error, Warning or
Advisory categories. The sub-divisions are described in more detail in the
section “Event and Condition Categories” on page 74.
Event messages appear in the Message Line at the bottom left of the
instrument’s display window, as shown in Figure 3-1 below.
— A Condition is a state of the instrument, which is characterized by a
Detection event and a Clearing event. Conditions may be Errors or
Warnings.
Condition messages appear in the Status Panel at the bottom right of the
instrument’s display screen, as shown in Figure 3-1 below.
