An error occurred at the start or during a measurement, e.g. due to
missing data or wrong settings, so that the measurement cannot be
started or completed correctly.
Orange
Warning
An irregular situation occurred during measurement, e.g. the set-
tings no longer match the displayed results, or the connection to an
external device was interrupted temporarily.
Gray

Information on the status of individual processing steps.
No color
No errors
No message displayed - normal operation.
Green
Measurement
successful
Some applications visualize that the measurement was successful
by showing 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 displayed, as the status bar in the MultiView tab always dis-
plays the information for the currently selected channel only.
For a description of possible errors, see the R&S
FSV/A user manual.
