Error messages
ETCLink provides advisory messages for a wide variety of conditions,
including information regarding your dimmers, racks, system, data, ports,
and loads. These messages fall into two categories, fatal messages and
secondary messages.
Fatal messages deal with anything that could potentially terminate or dras-
tically change the look of your show. You may set fatal messages to be
displayed even when secondary messages have been disabled.
Secondary messages deal with individual dimmer problems and warnings
of potential rack temperature problems. These messages are generally
less critical than the fatal messages. If you wish, secondary messages
may be disabled without disabling fatal messages. See
Disabling second-
ary messages on page 230 for more information.
Insight 2x displays error messages in advisory windows that appear
regardless of which display mode you have chosen. They may also appear
in abbreviated forms on the Status and About screens. Advisories are
cleared as soon as you enter any keystroke.
For example, suppose the dimming system detects a problem with
dimmer 1. As shown on the screen below, an advisory message appears,
informing you of the problem.
See
ETCLink errors on page 323 for a list of possible error messages.
