PHASE LOCK FAILURE. Error Number 7. The first IF signal was detected at pretune, but phase lock could not
be acquired. Check the signal level to the R channel input to make sure it is -35 dBm or higher.
PHASE LOCK LOST. Error Number 8. Phase lock was acquired but then lost.
PLOT ABORTED. Error Number 27. When you press the Local, key, the analyzer aborts the plot in progress.
PLOTTER: not on, not connect, wrong addrs. Error Number 26. The plotter does not respond to control. Verify
power to the plotter, and check the GPIB connection between the analyzer and the plotter. Ensure that the
plotter address recognized by the analyzer matches the GPIB address set on the plotter itself.
PLOTTER NOT READY-PINCH WHEELS UP. Error Number 28. The plotter pinch wheels clamp the paper in
place. If you raise the pinch wheels, the plotter indicates a “not ready” status on the bus.
POSSIBLE FALSE LOCK. Error Number 6. Phase lock has been achieved, but the source may be phase locked to
the wrong harmonic of the synthesizer.
POWER METER INVALID. Error Number 116. The power meter indicates an out-of-range condition. Check the
test setup.
POWER METER NOT SETTLED. Error Number 118. Sequential power meter readings are not consistent. Verify
that the equipment is set up correctly. If so, preset the instrument and restart the operation.
POWER OUT MAY BE UNLEVELED. Error Number 179. There is either a hardware failure in the source or you
have attempted to set the power level too high. The analyzer allows the output power to be set higher or
lower than the specified available power range. However, these output powers may be un-leveled or
unavailable. Check to see if the power level you set is within specifications.
POWER SUPPLY HOT!. Error Number 21. The temperature sensors on the A8 post-regulator assembly have
detected an over-temperature condition. The power supplies regulated on the post-regulator have been
shut down.
POWER SUPPLY SHUT DOWN!. Error Number 22. One or more supplies on the A8 post-regulator assembly
have been shut down due to an over-current, over-voltage, or under-voltage condition.
PRINT ABORTED. Error Number 25. When you press the Local, key, the analyzer aborts output to the printer.

PRINTER: busy. Error Number 176. The parallel port printer is not accepting data.
PRINTER: error. Error Number 175. The parallel port printer is malfunctioning. The analyzer cannot complete
the copy function.
PRINTER: not connected. Error Number 173. There is no printer connected to the parallel port.
PRINTER: not handshaking. Error Number 177. The printer at the parallel port is not responding.
PRINTER: not on line. Error Number 172. The printer at the parallel port is not set on line.
PRINTER: not on, not connected, wrong addrs. Error Number 24. The printer does not respond to control. Verify
power to the printer, and check the GPIB connection between the analyzer and the printer. Ensure that the
