Bottom Display Line 

The bottom line displays LXI/LAN information. LXI always has precedence over LAN information. For 
example if the LXI Identification is sent to an instrument it must be displayed instead of any LAN 
information.

If LXI information is displayed:  

these are the possible messages:

LXI-Power

  -   The  backlight  of  t he  d isp lay  will  in dicat e  th at  th e  p ower

message.

  -   LXI  LAN  fault  in dicator.

If LAN information is displayed: 

it is the current IP Address.

If a firmware update is in progress:  

progress messages are displayed.
