The values displayed in the "Freq" and "Level" fields include a set offset or multiplier
factor.
For more See alos chapter 5.3.2, "RF Frequency", on page 116 and chapter 5.3.5.1,
"Overview of RF Level", on page 121.
The frequency and level indication can be enlarged so that it covers the complete display
of the R&S SMB by using the DIAGR key. This key toggles between block diagram,
magnified frequency and level indication and the display of the active dialog. This requires
the "Summary Screen Toggle" to be enabled.
See also "Toggle Summary Screen" on page 93.
4.2.2 Status Information and Messages
The status information and messages are displayed in the header section of the screen.
The messages differ with respect to their importance (errors, warnings, info) and the time
of their appearance (brief and permanent messages). They require different treatment
by the user. Further information on all messages can be called in the info window (see
chapter 4.2.3, "Info Window", on page 58).
Refer to chapter 9, "Error Messages", on page 437 for an overview of all status infor-
mation and messages as well as instructions for error elimination.
4.2.2.1 Status Information
The status information gives the user an overview of the main operating states and set-
tings of the instrument. The states are indicated for information only and do not neces-
sitate any action by the user.
Status information is displayed between the frequency and level fields, at the left of the
info line or in the info line itself.
4.2.2.2 Messages
Messages indicate errors in the instrument. They are displayed in the info line in different
colors depending on their importance and display duration. Errors (e.g. no calibration
data) are displayed in red, information (e.g. file not found) and warnings in black. Warn-
ings indicate less significant errors (e.g. the instrument operates outside specified data).
4.2.2.3 Volatile messages
Brief messages report automatic settings in the instrument (e.g. switching off of incom-
patible types of modulation) or on illegal entries that are not accepted by the instrument
(e.g. range violations). They are displayed in the info line on a yellow background. They
are displayed on top of status information or permanent messages.
Volatile messages do not normally demand user actions and disappear automatically
after a brief period of time. They are stored in the history, however.
