ESG-D Series Signal Generator Instrument-Specific Error Messages
513 Het VCO unlocked
Indicates that the VCO used to generate output frequencies below 250 MHz is unlocked.
The instrument may require service.
514
Reference Oven cold
Indicates that the reference oven is not at the required operating temperature. This is
normal if the instrument has been powered down for a while. If the error persists, the
instrument may require service.
515
Reference board: 10 Mhz reference signal bad or missing
Indicates that the instrument’s reference is unlocked. If an external reference is
connected, check the frequency and power. It is possible for this to occur during a poor
connection/disconnection of an external reference. If this error reoccurs when no
external reference is connected, the instrument may require service.
516
Baseband Generator unlocked; refer to manual.
Indicates that the digital modulation board is unlocked. If this error occurs and the status
indicator on the front panel is not on, the board is operational. There are legitimate
reasons for the front panel indicator to be on: if External Data mode was selected and no
clock was provided for the data clock input, or if there was an incorrect setting selected
for data clock/symbol clock.
517
Calibration failure;DCFM DC overrange
Indicates that the instrument was unable to perform a DCFM or DCM calibration due
to the input signal being outside of the offset range that can be calibrated for.
Calibration failure;Upgrade calibration failed. Data not stored.
Indicates that the calibration stage of the instrument upgrade was not executed
successfully. The calibration data has not been stored. The upgrade is not functional.
Contact the nearest HP Sales and Service office.
Calibration failure;Cal aborted by user.
Indicates that, while executing the internal I/Q calibration, the user sent a DCAS over
the HP-IB or pressed the
Abort key on the front panel.
Calibration failure;I/Q cal failed to allocate memory.
Indicates that, while executing the internal I/Q calibration, the attempt to allocate
memory for the calibration failed.
