Error Messages
The analyzer can generate various messages that appear on the display
during operation. There are four types of messages.
• Status Messages appear on the right side of the analyzer display
and/or set status bits in the SCPI Status Register system. These
messages indicate a condition that may result in erroneous data
being displayed. Most messages will only be displayed until the error
condition is corrected. Multiple messages can be displayed and will
be listed in the display area.
• Informational Messages provide information that requires no
intervention. These messages appear in the status line at the bottom
of the display, in green if you have a color display. The message will
remain until you preset the analyzer, press
ESC, or another message
is displayed in the status line.
• User Error Messages appear when an attempt has been made to set
a parameter incorrectly or an operation has failed (such as saving a
file). These messages are often generated during remote operation
when an invalid programming command has been entered. These
messages appear in the status line at the bottom of the display, in
yellow if you have a color display. The message will remain until you
preset the analyzer, press
ESC, or another message is displayed in
the status line. A summary of the last 11 error messages may be
viewed by pressing,
System then Show Errors. When generated by
activity on the remote interface, the messages are output to the
remote bus. When output to the remote interface, they are preceded
by an error number. Note that the error number is not displayed
under the
System, Show Errors key sequence.
• Pop-up Messages indicate a condition that may require intervention.
They display in the middle of the display in a framed box. The
message will remain until the appropriate intervention has taken
place or the condition has been corrected.
