### 8.3.1. Types and syntax of messages

There are several windows and lists that display messages regarding the various stages of editing and calculating the heating system. All of them are uniform with respect to syntax and the manner of finding components to which these messages pertain.

The syntax of the message is as follows:

[Message_type] Component_to_which_message_refers Message_text

There are following types of messages:

Errors

These are the most important messages, they are displayed in capital letters. All errors that occur in the course of creating a project must be rectified; otherwise it will not be possible to obtain all results for the project.

Warnings

These messages are of lesser importance than errors. They are displayed in small letters and they do not block further calculations or display of results. Warnings are usually associated with data or results that are presumably incorrect and should be checked.

Hints

The purpose of these messages is only to remind you of or draw your attention to some data or results. Like warnings, hints do not block further calculations or display of results and are also displayed in small letters.

Connections

These messages are warnings, which may appear after calculations are finished. They apply to automatic sizing of connections in the system and describe cases, where no connection or junction has been sized.

You can display information on the errors in the windows that show messages. To do this click on the error and press the F1 key, or press the right mouse button and from the pop-up menu select “More info on message”.

A more detailed description of diagnostic messages is given in an appendix at the back of this manual.
