6.1.8 Error Information
If errors or irregularities are detected, a keyword and an error message, if availa-
ble, are displayed in the status bar.
Depending on the type of message, the status message is indicated in varying
colors.
Table 6-4: 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 successfull
by showing a messsage.
If any error information is available for a measurement channel, an exclama-
tion mark is displayed next to the channel name ( ). This is particularly use-
ful when the MultiView tab is displayed, as the status bar in the MultiView
tab always displays the information for the currently selected measurement
only.
