instrument commands.
SELF TEST #n FAILED. Service Error Number 112. Internal test #n has failed. Several internal test routines are
executed at instrument preset. The analyzer reports the first failure detected.

the Local, key.
SEQUENCE MAY HAVE CHANGED, CAN'T CONTINUE. Error Number 153. When you pause a sequence, you
cannot continue it if you have modified it. You must start the sequence again.
SLIDES ABORTED (MEMORY REALLOCATION). Error Number 73. You cannot perform sliding load
measurements due to insufficient memory. Increase the available memory by clearing one or more
save/recall registers and pressing Preset, or by storing files to a disk and then deleting them from internal
memory.
SOURCE POWER DISABLED, EDIT LIST MODE TBL. Information Message. When list power has been enabled
and swept list mode is on, you will not be able to change the power level using the Power, key. To change
the power level, edit the swept list table.
SOURCE POWER TURNED OFF, RESET UNDER POWER MENU. Information Message. You have exceeded the
maximum power level at one of the inputs and power has been automatically reduced. The annotation P?
indicates that power trip has been activated. When this occurs, reset the power and then press Power,
SOURCE PWR on OFF, to switch on the power.
