Message state
Most messages have to be acknowledged. If they occur, they are in the state ’not acknowledged’. By pressing
ACK
they change to the ’acknowledged’ state. The state is indicated by the texts ’NACK’ for ’not acknowledged’
and ’ACKD’ for ’acknowledged’ at the end of the first line of the message.
Messages which do not have to be acknowledged do not have these texts.
