# Potential Warnings & Errors

## Licensing errors

The following license errors may appear when checking for NavVis System Software updates in the command line interface:

> **Note:**If one of the following errors appears on the NavVis device, the **INSTALL** will be disabled.
> 
> - **404 Not found** appears if the NavVis device tries to access a non-existing software repository.
> - **403 Forbidden** appears if the NavVis device tries to access another existing software repository, but with the same login credentials.
> - **401 Unauthorized** appears when the login credentials for the NavVis device are invalid.

## Warning Types

If the mobile mapping system detects a problem, a notification, warning, or error is displayed.

Warnings can be resolved by the operator without stopping the current scan, while errors cannot be resolved without restarting the scan.

## Error Types

The following error messages can appear while scanning:

| **Code** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **ERR_IMU_RATE_LOW ERR_LASER_HORIZ_RATE_LOW ERR_LASER_VERT_LEFT_RATE_LOW ERR_LASER_VERT_RIGHT_RATE_LOW** | **Message**: Sorry, something went wrong. Please finish your current dataset and reboot the device |
| **Cause:** The mentioned sensor is not running with the expected rate. A long Mapping time might be the cause for this behavior. |
| **ERR_TF_RATE_LOW** | **Message**: Sorry, something went wrong. Please finish your current dataset and reboot the device |
| **Cause:** A software component is not running with the expected rate. A long Mapping time might be the cause for this behavior. |
| **ERR_IMU_NO_MSGS_YET ERR_LASER_HORIZ_NO_MSGS_YET ERR_LASER_VERT_LEFT_NO_MSGS_YET ERR_LASER_VERT_RIGHT_NO_MSGS_YET** | **Message**: Sorry, something went wrong. Please finish your current dataset and reboot the device |
| **Cause:** The motion sensor did not send any data yet. This is most likely a hardware problem. |
| **ERR_TF_NO_MSGS_YET** | **Message**: Sorry, something went wrong. Please finish your current dataset and reboot the device |
| **Cause:** A software component did not send any data yet. This is most likely a hardware problem. |
| **ERR_IMU_MSG_TOO_OLD ERR_LASER_HORIZ_MSG_TOO_OLD ERR_LASER_VERT_LEFT_MSG_TOO_OLD ERR_LASER_VERT_RIGHT_MSG_TOO_OLD** | **Message**: Sorry, something went wrong. Please finish your current dataset and reboot the device |
| **Cause:** The mentioned sensor stopped sending data. This is most likely a hardware problem, but a long Mapping time might be the cause for this behavior. |
| **ERR_TF_MSG_TOO_OLD** | **Message**: Sorry, something went wrong. Please finish your current dataset and reboot the device |
| **Cause:** A software component stopped sending data. This is most likely a software problem, but a long Mapping time might be the cause for this behavior. |
| **ERR_NODE_NOT_RUNNING** | **Message**: Sorry, something went wrong. Please finish your current dataset and reboot the device |
| **Cause:** A critical software component is not running. |
| **ERR_IMU_VALUES_NAN** | **Message**: Sorry, something went wrong. Please finish your current dataset and reboot the device |
| **Cause:** The IMU is sending invalid data. This is most likely a hardware problem. |
