Error Messages
Error messages are a series of text messages which appear in your software.
These messages notify you that either the spectrophotometer is not
functioning correctly or, in case you are using your own customized
programs, that you have made a mistake in the commands which you have
given to the spectrophotometer.
The following is an overview of the error messages. For suggestions
regarding causes and courses of action, see Table 20 through Table 34.
• Multicell Transport Home Position Not Found
• No Filament Current On Deuterium Lamp
• Deuterium Lamp Ignition Failed
• No Current Sensed On Deuterium Lamp
• No Voltage Sensed On Deuterium Lamp
• No Current Sensed On Tungsten Lamp
• No Voltage Sensed On Tungsten Lamp
• Cooling Fan Defective
• Lamp Door Open (Lamps are switched off)
• Digital Signal Processor Error
• Wavelength Calibration Data Rejected
• Excessive Dark Current Detected On Photodiodes
• Raw Data Buffer Overflow
• Power Fail
Most of these error messages are stored with the Agilent 8453
spectrophotometer logbook and can be recalled through the operating
software.
Table 20 through Table 34 show the error messages with their meanings. The
tables explain the instrumental conditions required to generate the message
and potential causes which lead to generation of the message. There is a list
of suggested actions to correct the instrument state when necessary.
