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 measurement only.
Furthermore, a status bit is set in the
STATus:QUEStionable:EXTended:INFO
reg-
ister for the application concerned (see
Chapter 11.2.2.8, "STATus:QUEStiona-
on page 785). Messages of a specific type can be quer-
ied using the
