Error and Status Messages

See Chapter 10, "Customizing Your Work Environment," in the OpenWindows Advanced User's Guide, for error and status messages that Calibrator Tool displays. For example, a message would be displayed if the loadable module did not finish collecting data. This situation would occur if, for example, the hardware failed to complete measurement or the end user cancelled the measurement. In such a case, the loadable module returns a nonzero status to Calibrator Tool and the entire measurement process must be restarted.

It is up to the writer of the loadable module to provide the end user with any special status or error messages.
