Chinese term

提示

Chinese to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
当所述第一校验处理、所述第二校验处理和/或所述第三校验处理失败时,停止配置处理过程、输出报警信息、输出提示信息和/或重新从存储器中读取所述预处理配置数据。

I felt this part is a bit redundant:
"输出报警信息、输出提示信息" (output alarm message, output (the presented?) message)

and am not sure what 提示 exactly means here.

Thank you.

notification

In my understanding “提示信息” here could be 2 kinds of information:

1, details describing the previous “警告信息” as a further explanation;
2, instruction on how to operate after “警告信息” appears.

In either case, “提示” could be just literally translated to be "notification".

prompt

报警信息 refers to text in error messages (This went wrong! Could be shown in a prompt or on a crash screen.)
提示信息 refers to text in message prompts (Hello! Please input/fix/make a decision on/take note of this. Pops up on the screen.)

These two often overlap, but the second term is much broader while the first can refer to BSOD-like failures and such. What prompts are referred to as varies from system to system. 'Notification' (as Randy suggests) and 'alert' (as jyuan_us suggests) are two such names that may work in this context, but 'prompt' is the broadest term as far as 提示 goes specifically.
Example sentence:

Follow the prompts on the screen.

Copy the text from any prompts that you're given.
