### 2.3.5. Data diagnostics

After moving to calculations, data diagnostics are carried out and a list of messages of varying significance is displayed in the “Diagnostics results” window. If there are no messages to display calculations are started immediately and the “Diagnostics results” window is not displayed. To identify the component to which a message applies, click on the message text and the component will be highlighted in yellow on the drawing.

The following hierarchy of messages has been adopted:

- Errors – displayed in upper case letters. Indicate deficiencies or incorrectness of data that have to be rectified before making calculations. If any error has occurred, calculations cannot be continued – you have to go back to editing and correct the error.

- Warnings – issued if a presumable incorrectness is encountered. Warnings do not exclude making calculations. Nevertheless it is advisable to check them and ensure that there is no incorrectness.

- Hints – messages of the least significance. They draw your attention to some data, which, however, may be correct.

After having analysed diagnostics results, you can go back to the editor to amend data or proceed further to the first stage of calculations.
