15.4 Querying Error Messages
The R&S SMW monitors the functions performed and automatically detects errors and
irregularities. The instrument displays the messages in the "Info" line and records them
in the background with a detailed description.
Find details to the system messages in Chapter 15, "Troubleshooting and Error Mes-
sages", on page 1257.
To display information on static errors and error history
1. Perform one of the following:
a) On the front panel, press the [INFO] key.
b) In the taskbar, select the "System Config > Info".
2. For some messages, the information line appears briefly on the block diagram.
Selecting the info line also opens the dialog.
● The "Static Errors" dialog lists the last monitored messages chronologically and
displays additional information on the highlighted message.
● The "Error History" dialog lists the accumulated messages with a short descrip-
tion.
Volatile errors are reported once, at the time they appear. 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.
