ESG-D Series Signal Generator Instrument-Specific Error Messages
attempting to copy items in the list editor when the list is already at its maximum length.
-230
Data corrupt or stale;RAM copy of <filename>.
The non-volatile RAM copy of a file is either corrupt or is out of date with the EEPROM
master copy (if one exists). The system automatically re-initializes the file from
EEPROM (if appropriate) or from a default algorithm. A potential cause is a failing
backup battery.
Data corrupt or stale;EEPROM copy of <filename>.
The EEPROM copy of a file is either corrupt or otherwise unusable. The system
automatically updates the non-volatile RAM copy of the EEPROM copy using a default
initialization. The actual EEPROM file is left as it is. Report this problem to the factory.
-231
Data questionable;RAM copy of <filename>.
Indicates that the non-volatile RAM copy of a file has a correctable error. The system
automatically performs the correction. A potential cause is a failing backup battery.
Data questionable;EEPROM copy of <filename>.
Indicates that the EEPROM copy of a file has a correctable error. The system
automatically performs the correction. A potential cause is a failing EERPOM. Report
this problem to the factory.
-241
Hardware missing; <card_name>
Indicates that a test communication to a hardware card failed. The instrument is most
likely not functional. Contact the nearest HP Sales and Service office.
Hardware missing; Installed option boards do not match
configuration information.
Indicates that a set of option boards have been installed that do not match the
information that was given to the instrument as part of the installation. If this is the result
of a customer installed option, the wrong option was specified during installation. If this
is seen at any other time, the likely cause is an EEPROM failure on the option card.
-250
Mass storage error; EEPROM write timeout on <filename>.
Indicates that the system was not able to program new data to an EEPROM. The system
is
still functional, but files written to EEPROM (such as updated calibration data) may
be lost when the instrument’s line power is cycled. Contact the nearest HP Sales and
Service office.
