577User Manual 1178.3711.02 ─ 08
Volatile notifications are reported once. If identical errors occur subsequently,
they are not reported repeatedly.
In the "Info" line, identical errors are displayed repeatedly only if the original
error has already disappeared from the display. If queried by SCPI command,
identical errors are only reported if the original error has already been retrieved
from (and hence not any more present in) the error queue.
Indication and handling of permanent notifications
If any critical error occurs, the R&S SMB100B automatically shows the
icon in the
taskbar. Select the icon to obtain information on the error and the number of occurren-
ces.
The icon is assigned to permanent notifications. The notification and icon are displayed
until the error is eliminated.
Static Notifications/History

Remote command:

Clear History

same time cleared.
