8.2.2 Understanding the messages in the info bar
Messages indicate information, warnings, and errors. They are displayed in the info
line in different colors depending on their importance and display duration. The follow-
ing messages are displayed:
●
Error
There are two options:
– Critical errors are errors that prevent the instrument from working, e.g. an HW
failure. Critical errors are displayed in red color.
– System errors are errors that concern the operating system, e.g., wrong file
path. System errors are displayed in black color.
●
Information
The information, e.g., file not found, is displayed in black color.
●
Warning
A warning indicates a less significant error and is displayed in black color.
●
Brief message
Brief messages report automatic settings in the program, e.g. switching on illegal
entries that are not accepted by the program, e.g., range violations. They are dis-
played in the info line on a yellow background. They are displayed on top of status
information or permanent messages.
Brief messages usually do not demand user actions and disappear automatically
after a short period of time. They are saved in the history, however.
●
Permanent messages
Permanent messages are displayed if an error occurs that impairs further program
operation. The error signaled by a permanent message must be eliminated before
correct software operation can be ensured.
The message is displayed until the error is eliminated. It covers the status display
in the info line. After error elimination, the message automatically disappears and is
also recorded in the history.
