Measurement
successful
Some applications visualize that the measurement was successfull by show-
ing a messsage.
If any error information is available for a measurement channel, an exclamation mark is
displayed next to the channel name ( ). This is particularly useful when the MultiView
tab is displayed, as the status bar in the MultiView tab always displays the information
for the currently selected measurement only.
Furthermore, a status bit is set in the
STATus:QUEStionable:EXTended:INFO
reg-
ister for the application concerned (see
"STATus:QUEStionable:EXTended:INFO Reg-
on page 270). Messages of a specific type can be queried using the
SYST:ERR:EXT?
command, see
