Error Reporting Behavior
Errors are displayed in an on-screen dialog box. To continue operation, the user must acknowledge the error by pressing a button.
Status errors are displayed with a descriptive line in the lower-left corner of the graticule. Immediately press the System key below the display, and then press the Help softkey to the right of the display to display more information. A softkey menu is displayed that includes, Show Critical Errors, Show HW Errors, Show Warnings, and Show Notices. If there are any errors, warnings or notices, one or more of these keys are enabled. Press the key to display a more complete description of the condition causing the message.
Warnings and notices are displayed in a status line at the bottom of the screen. They are cleared when any front-panel key, other than the System key, is pressed, or they will clear automatically after a few seconds. To view warnings and notices, press the front-panel System key, the Help softkey and then the Show Warnings or Show Notices softkey. UNCAL is displayed as red text in the lower-right corner of the graticule. It is only displayed when a condition exists that can lead to an inaccurate measurement. There are cases when valid measurements can be made while an UNCAL condition exists, but the operator should use caution.
