If any error information is available for a measurement channel, the icon
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.
The following keywords are used:

●
Increase the reference level.
INPUT OVLD

nector and reconnect the RF input to the mixer input.
