4. Initial Operation
4.6 Alarm functions
If a user action on the instrument is required, an informational
message is first displayed on the screen (
Fig. 61 ) and an acoustic
alarm is emitted. This message describes what must be done and
provides further information about the situation.
When the user confirms this message by pressing the YES but-
ton, this message disappears from the screen. No other alarm
is triggered.
If the user does not confirm the message within the specified time by pressing the YES key, an instrument
alarm is triggered. This instrument alarm is an acoustic signal (sound file) that can also be played back cyclically.
This setting (the cyclic repetition of instrument alarms) is configured by the users and is valid for all messages.
The user can also configure the repetition time.
When the instrument alarm is confirmed with the YES button, the alarm sound is switched off and the message
disappears from the screen. No other alarm takes place (no local alarm and no remote alarm).
The alarm sound can also be disabled using the SUSPEND ALARM button. This disables the alarm sound, but
the message remains displayed on the screen. If the user then does not confirm the message within a certain
time by pressing the YES key, the alarm sound is output once again.

Informational messages
Instrument alarm
The Leica ASP6025 is equipped with 3 different acoustic alarm functions:
In the ASP6025, states can occur that require the attention of, or a decision on the part of, the user. In the sim-
plest case, these are confirmations for continuing in the infiltration program. In addition, however, during con-
tinuous monitoring of the hardware, errors can be identified that must be eliminated as soon as possible for a
running infiltration program to be finished successfully. Correspondingly, all messages are classified according
to their severity.
