Interpreting Analyzer Messages

Interpreting Analyzer Messages
The analyzer firmware displays error messages and informational
prompts to warn the user of instrument failure or improper use.
There are three types of messages: hardware-error messages (H),
informational messages (M), and user-created error messages (U).
• Hardware-error messages indicate that the firmware has detected a
fault in the analyzer hardware.
• Informational messages provide prompts or messages to inform the
user of the analyzer status during a specific routine.
• User-created error messages indicate the analyzer is being used
incorrectly. They are usually generated during remote operation.

information is provided, where applicable:
• The message type, identified by an H, M, or U.
