Error Messages in Alphabetical Order
hold will be activated. The “tsH” (test set hold) indicator in the left margin of the display indicates that the
inactive channel has been put in the sweep hold mode.
This message is also displayed if a mechanical switch test set is in use and channels are measuring
parameters that require the test set to switch continuously, for example S11 on Channel 1 and S22 on
Channel 2
COPY: device not responding; copy aborted. Error Number 170. The printer or plotter is not accepting data.
Verify the cable connections, GPIB addresses, and otherwise ensure that the copy device is ready.
COPY OUTPUT COMPLETED. Information Message. The analyzer has completed outputting data to the printer
or plotter. The analyzer can now accept another copy command.
CORRECTION TURNED OFF. Error Number 66. Critical parameters in your current instrument state do not
match the parameters for the calibration set, therefore correction has been turned off. The critical
instrument state parameters are sweep type, start frequency, frequency span, and number of points.
CURRENT PARAMETER NOT IN CAL SET. Error Number 64. Correction is not valid for your selected
measurement parameter. Either change the measurement parameters or perform a new calibration.
D2/D1 INVALID WITH SINGLE CHANNEL. Error Number 130. You can only make a D2/D1 measurement if both
channels are on.
D2/D1 INVALID: CH1 CH2 NUM PTS DIFFERENT. Error Number 152. You can only make a D2/D1 measurement if
both channels have the same number of points.
DEADLOCK. Error Number 111. A fatal firmware error occurred before instrument preset completed. Call your
local Agilent Technologies sales and service office.
DEMODULATION NOT VALID. Error Number 17. Demodulation was selected when the analyzer was not in CW
time mode. Select demodulation only after putting the analyzer into CW time mode.
DEVICE: not on, not connect, wrong addrs. Error Number 119. The device at the selected address cannot be
accessed by the analyzer. Verify that the device is switched on, and check the GPIB connection between
the analyzer and the device. Ensure that the device address recognized by the analyzer matches the GPIB
address set on the device itself.
DIRECTORY FULL. Error Number 188. There is no room left in the directory to add files. Either delete files or
get a new disk.
DISK HARDWARE PROBLEM. Error Number 39. The disk drive is not responding correctly. If using an external
disk drive, refer to the disk drive operating manual.
DISK IS WRITE PROTECTED. Error Number 48. The store operation cannot write to a write-protected disk.
Slide the write-protect tab over the write-protect opening in order to write data on the disk.
DISK MEDIUM NOT INITIALIZED. Error Number 40. You must initialize the disk before it can be used.
DISK MESSAGE LENGTH ERROR. Error Number 190. The analyzer and the external disk drive aren't
communicating properly. Check the GPIB connection and then try substituting another disk drive to isolate
the problem instrument.
DISK: not on, not connected, wrong addrs. Error Number 38. The disk cannot be accessed by the analyzer.
Verify power to the disk drive, and check the GPIB connection between the analyzer and the disk drive.
