Error Messages in Alphabetical Order
NO SPACE FOR NEW CAL. CLEAR REGISTERS. Error Number 70. You cannot store a calibration set due to
insufficient memory. You can free more memory by clearing a saved instrument state from an internal
register (which may also delete an associated calibration set, if all the instrument states using the
calibration set have been deleted). You can store the saved instrument state and calibration set to a disk
before clearing them. After deleting the instrument states, press Preset, to run the memory packer.
NOT ALLOWED DURING POWER METER CAL. Error Number 198. When the analyzer is performing a power
meter calibration, the GPIB bus is unavailable for other functions such as printing or plotting.
NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON DISK FOR STORE. Error Number 44. The store operation will overflow the available
disk space. Insert a new disk or purge files to create free disk space.
NO VALID MEMORY TRACE. Error Number 54. If you are going to display or otherwise use a memory trace, you
must first store a data trace to memory.
NO VALID STATE IN REGISTER. Error Number 55. You have requested the analyzer, over GPIB (or by
sequencing), to load an instrument state from an empty internal register.
ONLY LETTERS AND NUMBERS ARE ALLOWED. Error Number 43. You can only use alpha-numeric characters
(and underscores) in disk file titles or internal save register titles. Other symbols are not allowed, except
for the “underscore” symbol.
OVER ILLUMINATION IN OPTICAL INPUT. Warning Message. This message warns that too much optical power
is entering the OPTICAL RECEIVER INPUT. If optical power is not reduced, damage may occur.
OVERLAP! LIST TYPE CHANGED TO STEPPED. Error Number 211. The list type changed to stepped because one
or more frequency segments in the swept list table overlapped. Change the frequency ranges of the
overlapping segments and switch back to swept list mode.
OVERLOAD ON INPUT A, POWER REDUCED . Error Number 58. See OVERLOAD ON INPUT R, POWER
REDUCED (error number 57).
OVERLOAD ON INPUT B, POWER REDUCED . Error Number 59. See OVERLOAD ON INPUT R, POWER
REDUCED (error number 57).
OVERLOAD ON INPUT R, POWER REDUCED. Error Number 57. You have exceeded approximately +14 dBm at
one of the test ports. The RF output power is automatically reduced to -85 dBm. The annotation P?
appears in the left margin of the display to indicate that the power trip function has been activated. When
this occurs, reset the power to a lower level, then toggle the softkey to switch on the power again.
PARALLEL PORT NOT AVAILABLE FOR GPIO. Error Number 165. You have defined the parallel port as COPY for
printing in the GPIB menu. To access the parallel port for general purpose I/O (GPIO), set the selection to
PARALLEL [GPIO].
PARALLEL PORT NOT AVAILABLE FOR COPY. Error Number 167. You have defined the parallel port as general
purpose I/O (GPIO) for sequencing. The definition was made under the Local, key menus. To access the
parallel port for copy, set the selection to PARALLEL [COPY].
PHASE LOCK CAL FAILED. Error Number 4. An internal phase lock calibration routine is automatically
executed at power-on, preset, and any time a loss of phase lock is detected. This message indicates that
phase lock calibration was initiated and the first IF detected, but a problem prevented the calibration from
completing successfully.
