Locate your problem

When troubles occur, the fastest way to find a solution is to read the context help (accessible by pressing F1). You can search the help using keywords such as the name of the dialog or window where the problem occurred, the text of error messages that appeared, or the used hardware. The following tables contain a summary of the most frequent errors, while the rest of this chapter contains information on how to solve them.

Note:

Names of the individual Clarity Instruments appear in the window headers instead of the common term “Instrument”.
