0xBFFC08F7 ERR_EXT_DET_POWER_LIMITS
This error will be generated if the user enters
power meter readings into the
HPE6432_EnterCalExtDetPowerMeterReadin
g routine that exceeds the +/- 35 dB limits. If a
power meter reading value is seen outside this
range during calibration, the configuration is not
within the limits of calibration. You should refer
to the specification on the valid external detector
configurations and verify that the configuration
being used for the calibration process is proper.
This could also occur if the external loop is not
properly physically connected or a connection is
broken. Verify that the connections are proper and
working, and attempt the calibration again.
"Power reading
exceeds the expected
limit"
0xBFFC08F8 ERR_EXT_DET_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
This error is generated if the user enters power
meter readings into the
HPE6432_EnterCalExtDetPowerMeterReadin
g function that indicates the current external
detector configuration can not be calibrated. This
could occur if there are problems with the external
configuration connections, or if the equipment
used is not within the range specified for this
system.
"Calibration range of
system exceeded"
0xBFFC08F9 ERR_POWER_SEARCH_FAIL_LIMITS
This error will occur during a power search
function. It indicates that the system was not able
to get a stable DAC setting that drove the
integrator voltage to a small number. The power
search attempts to drive the integrator voltage
level down. This has an effect of keeping the
power level stable between open and closed loop
operation. Contact an Agilent Technologies
Service Center for more information.
