13.1 Error Information
If errors or irregularities are detected, a keyword and an error message, if available,
are displayed in the status bar.
Depending on the type of message, the status message is indicated in varying colors.
Table 13-1: Status bar information - color coding
Color Type Description
red Fatal A serious error occurred in the application; regular operation is no longer
possible.
red Error An error occurred during a measurement, e.g. due to missing data or wrong
settings, so that the measurement cannot be completed correctly.
orange Warning An irregular situation occurred during measurement, e.g. the settings no lon-
ger match the displayed results, or the connection to an external device was
interrupted temporarily.
gray Information Information on the status of individual processing steps.
gray Message An event or state has occurred that may lead to an error during further oper-
ation.
green No errors No messages displayed.
If any error information is available for a measurement channel, the icon is displayed
next to the channel name. This is particularly useful when the MultiView tab is dis-
played, as the status bar in the MultiView tab always displays the information for the
currently selected measurement only.
Furthermore, a status bit is set in the STATus:QUEStionable:EXTended:INFO reg-
ister for the application concerned (see "STATus:QUEStionable:EXTended:INFO Reg-
ister" on page 637). Messages of a specific type can be queried using the
SYST:ERR:EXT? command, see SYSTem:ERRor:EXTended? on page 1040.
