OSC: Show message history
11775
The [History] tab lists all messages which occurred during the operating time of the device. The
messages are shown in chronological order. The device displays messages regarding events,
warnings and errors.
The messages are stored in a ring buffer. The ring buffer can store 2000 messages. If full, the
device overwrites the oldest message(s) (time stamp).
There is a message pair for each failure (warning, error). It indicates the time of occurrence of the
failure and the time at which the cause of the failure was rectified. The symbols of the messages are
correspondingly marked.
Example: Error message
= Time at which the error occurred
= Time at which the cause of the fault was rectified.
