Instrument Messages and Status Bar
The Status Bar Area is used for instrument wide messages to show Status, Warnings, Errors, etc. Typically,
any warning messages displayed in this area will be shown until you perform some action on the interface.
Error indicators are persistent until you have viewed (and cleared) the error log.
General Status Messages
The status bar indicates the status of items, such as calibration in progress, FFT is in acquisition or
computation, startup, self test, etc. General status messages are displayed in the left field of the status
bar, for example, EXT REF.
Warning Messages
Warning messages are displayed in the center field of the status bar. These messages indicate that there
is an internal error, such as, ERR!
Calibration Messages
If the instrument detects that a calibration needs to be performed, an UNCAL indicator appears in the
status bar. If you click on the message, you are given the option to perform the calibration now or to defer
the action until a later time. If the calibration is performed, the message is cleared.

Note: UNCAL messages may be automatically cleared if the software determines that the instrument becomes
within tolerance.
