# What does NextSeq 1000/2000 status bar color mean?

The NextSeq 1000/2000 instrument includes a light-emitting diode (LED) status bar beneath the touch screen monitor that surrounds the instrument. The status bar provides an at-a-glance indication of the instrument state. The light color progresses as the system moves through its workflow.

* **Blue and purple**: indicate interactivity (eg, pre-run checks)
* **Multicolor**: indicates notable moments and data (eg, sequencing completion)
* **Red**: critical errors

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/instrumentation/nextseq-1000-2000/instrumentation-nextseq-1000-2000-reference_material-list/000002448.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
