14 Error Messages and Troubleshooting
This chapter describes the error messages of the R&S
SGT. The error messages are
output in the "Info" line on the screen and entered in the error/event queue of the sta-
tus reporting system.

ings or information are displayed in the header field of the screen. Some error mes-

be ensured. The "Info" window with a list of current messages and a detailed descrip-
tion of each message can be opened with the "Info" button (see also
