Primary Interval must range from 0 to 24 hours (86400 seconds)!
You tried to enter a Primary Interval greater than 86400 or tried to enter
extraneous characters.
Enter numbers only between 00000.000 and 86400.000 for the Primary Interval.
RAM Constants Corrupted! Continue?
Your instrument has detected a fault during internal performance monitoring.
This message does not appear under normal operating conditions. Note the
message and click Yes to continue or No to terminate operations. If the fault
recurs, stop operations, and cycle instrument power. If the fault still persists,
remove the instrument from service and return it to a Fluke Service Center for
repair, along with a description of the error message.
