The upper section of the info window contains a list of all current permanent messages
in the order of their occurrence, i.e. the most recent message is displayed first. In the
lower section of the window, additional information on the highlighted message is dis-
played. A history of all messages that have occurred since instrument switch-on can be
called with the "History" key. The most recent message is displayed first.
The messages are color-coded according to their level. Device-specific messages are
red, info and remote control error are black. The level is also indicated in the "Lev"
column (Err, Sys or Info). Column "SCPI" indicates the SCPI error code.
With the aid of the softkey buttons, error messages can be cleared and a history of all
messages called.
