7 Warning and error messages
During operation, the display shows information that helps you operate the instrument.
Measurement values are displayed along with current unit modes, operating
instructions as well as warnings and error messages. The instrument is equipped with
extensive self-diagnostic functions. If the electronics detect a faulty state, the device
will show this as far as possible on the display and will interrupt operation when
necessary. Warning and error messages consist of a number, a descriptive text, and
often an associated measured value (e.g., a measured voltage).
