8. System Error and Warning messages > 8.1. Errors
The system produces messages to alert you about situations which may cause problems in the
system or the treatment workflow. The messages are visible in the message area of the Hardware
Status Area. Clicking on a message opens a window which provides more information on the
situation and instructions on how to handle it. You can also view the messages through the system
log.
The messages are classified as
Errors
Warnings
Informational messages
The following chapters describe the three message types and the way they are distinguished from
each other in the user interface. A complete list of Error and Warning messages is available in
chapter 10.10. Error and Warning messages.
8.1. Errors
Errors are messages that halt the user interface and stop the current activity. When an error
message is issued, all functions of the User Interface, except for the message display and the
abort button, are locked.
Errors are classified as High, Medium or Low errors according to their priority. The priority depends
on the severity of the harm (to a person, usually the patient) and on how soon the user must react.
