Interpreting PC error messages
Software reaction to errors
When an error is detected, the software displays its error code on screen and saves it to the "error
buffer".

If the error is a critical error, the instrument is stopped immediately.

If the error is a non-critical error, the instrument is only stopped:

if you have defined a maximum number of permissible errors in the
Options Settings
Error Handling menu
and

the maximum number has been exceeded defined in
Options > Settings > Error
Handling
.
On-screen error message
When an error is detected the "Error information window" is displayed on screen. Here, the name of
the module which has detected the error as well as the error number is displayed.
Interpreting error code
Proceed as follows:

Open the "Error buffer" dialog by selecting
Options > Diagnostics > Error Buffer
.

Double-click on the error code you want to interpret in the "Event" column.
This displays the "Error display" dialog that is automatically open at the appropriate tab. The
causes of the error are indicated by a red dot.
The error texts have different colors.

red: Critical error. Requires immediate correction.

blue: Warning. Requires no activity for now. If occuring repeatedly with succeeding
analyses, look for the cause and find a remedy.

green: Hint. Informs about an unusual behaviour, however, under normal circumstances no
activities are necessary.
