Table 7-3: Status bar information - color coding
Color Type Description
Red Error An error occurred at the start or during a measurement, e.g. due to
missing data or wrong settings, so that the measurement cannot be
started or completed correctly.
Orange Warning An irregular situation occurred during measurement, e.g. the set-
tings no longer match the displayed results, or the connection to an
external device was interrupted temporarily.
Gray Information Information on the status of individual processing steps.
No color No errors No message displayed - normal operation.
Green Measurement
successful
Some applications visualize that the measurement was successful
by showing a message.
If any error information is available for a channel setup, an exclamation
mark is displayed next to the channel setup name ( ). This is particularly
useful when the MultiView tab is displayed, as the status bar in the Multi-
View tab always displays the information for the currently selected channel
setup only.
7.2 Accessing the Functionality
All tasks necessary to operate the instrument can be performed using this user
interface. Apart from instrument specific keys, all other keys that correspond to an
external keyboard (e.g. arrow keys, ENTER key) operate as specified by Micro-
soft.
For most tasks, there are at least 2 alternative methods to perform them:
●
Using the touchscreen
●
Using other elements provided by the front panel, e.g. the keypad, rotary
knob, or arrow and position keys.
The measurement and instrument functions and settings can be accessed by
selecting one of the following elements:
●
System and function keys on the front panel of the instrument
●
Softkeys on the touchscreen
●
Context menus for specific elements on the touchscreen
