Table 5.1: Example of a log entry (when error 11 occurs).<br />

error detection mechanism detects an error, appropriate recovery action are invoked, <strong>and</strong> an error is<br />

logged. The following section describes the error that is logged by the error detection mechanism.<br />

5.2.2 The Error of the Beam Propeller Movement<br />

The error that is logged by the error detection mechanism contains information about the state of<br />

the system, at the moment the failure occurred. The target system only includes those components<br />

that this state refers to.<br />

Table 5.1 shows an example of the error message. Such a message is logged each time one of<br />

the Geometry’s mechanical movements malfunctions. Among the Geometry developers it is known<br />

as error 11. A log entry typically contains diagnostic information about a part of the system. In this<br />

case, an occurrence of error 11 pinpoints to a failure of one of the mechanical movements within<br />

the Geometry subsystem. The field Description of Table 5.1 indicates what movement’s error<br />

detection mechanism has detected the error: the beam propeller movement of the frontal st<strong>and</strong>. In<br />

addition to that, it would help if the error message contains information about the system’s state at<br />

the time the error occurred. In this case were are quite lucky: there is a Exception Description<br />
