Warning message- BFAST

[CS Student]

Dear all,

I am getting the below warning message when trying to run the BFAST program. I would appreciate any help explaining for me the reason for getting this message?

Thanks.

The default is to auto-detect the range you wish to index etc. You can safely ignore these warnings if you were not trying to manually set the region of interest.
