# Message 15

## Message

"15. Item entry was limited to count characters."

## Description

This message indicates that a string entry contained too many characters. Reduce the length of the string. For example, if you were using the Find Bit Sequence tool on a PRBS-7 pattern (127 symbols) and the symbol-sequence that you entered to search for was 130 characters long, this message would read:

- "Search Pattern entry was limited to 128 characters"
