data or wrong settings, so that the measurement cannot be started or com-
pleted correctly.

ger match the displayed results, or the connection to an external device was

No errors
No message displayed - normal operation.

Measurement
successful
Some applications visualize that the measurement was successful by show-
ing a message.
If any error information is available for a channel, an exclamation mark is displayed
next to the channel name ( ). This is particularly useful when the MultiView tab is dis-
played, as the status bar in the MultiView tab always displays the information for the
currently selected channel only.
For a description of possible errors, see the R&S
FSV/A user manual.
