Measurement
successful
Some applications visualize that the measurement was successful by show-
ing a message.
If any error information is available for a channel setup, an exclamation mark is dis-
played next to the channel setup name ( ). This is particularly useful when the Multi-
View tab is displayed, as the status bar in the MultiView tab always displays the infor-
mation for the currently selected channel setup only.
Furthermore, a status bit is set in the
STATus:QUEStionable:EXTended:INFO
reg-
ister for the application concerned (see
Chapter 9.2.2.8, "STATus:QUEStiona-
on page 560). Messages of a specific type can be quer-
ied using the
SYST:ERR:EXT?
