For the most part error messages are bad. The user must track down the source of all error messages
and eliminate them before running and acquiring data from a project.
Unless the user knows a particular error message and they are sure it is benign, they shouldn’t ignore
error messages.
STATUSBAR
The status bar has information about the project as well as current time and date.
ProjectNameandFlightId
Provides a quick look at the current project name and flight id, that is entered in the project display
tab. Not that the project name displayed here is not related in any programmatic way to the project
folder or configuration files. It is for user-defined purposes only.
BufferTimeandDate
The buffer time and date display current time and date from M300 data source.
If the M300 is in play mode and new data is arriving the time should be incrementing. If the system
is stopped or paused, the time will not increment.
The time is the end time from the sync 1 hz buffer. In acquisition mode this would increment once
per second (1 hz). In playback mode the time might increment slower or faster than one 1 hz,
depending on the playback speed setting.
All the M300 display windows have time and date display in the top left corner. The time displayed
there some times can vary from the M300 main window, depending on the particular trigger used for
the display windows.
