RFIC SFP error message cleans up automatically

In the RFIC SFP, when an error occurs, the error will sometimes get cleaned up automatically, which makes it difficult to know what went wrong. For example, when using MATLAB® digital predistortion on a machine that only has the basic MATLAB software installed (e.g. no additional toolbox is installed), the actual error message will only flash across the message box.

Workaround:

There is currently no known workaround for this issue.
