The Special Function display can only be accessed from the Main Selection Level.
A
reverse power error was detected on an output board. (Disconnect the affected output from any
external equipment and re-enter the key sequence that originally resulted in the error. If an error is still
detected by the instrument, a reverse power problem still exists.)
The recalled Save Register does not contain a SAVE setting.
The selected function cannot be performed in the present mode. (For example, the FREQ function
cannot be executed directly from the Main Selection Level.)
An invalid Special Function number was entered. (Only Special Functions
0
-
15
(decimal) may be
entered.)
The Special Function number input was too large for the instrument to recognize it as data. This
condition occurs when the data input is greater than
65535.
(Refer
to
Error Message
17
concerning the
range of Special Functions available.)
The number entered was too large for the function selected.
Increment Set is not available with the function selected.
An operation was directed to an
output
board which does not exist.
There are no setable modes or functions at this instrument level. (For example, in Hop Mode Operation
the Hop Parameter display lists only four keys that will perform a function in this mode; f
,
f2, f3 and f4.
Any other key, such as AMPTD, has no meaning in this mode and will result in this error.

Unique data was received via HP-IB when none was expected. (Refer to Error
44
for an explanation of
unique data.)
An invalid terminator for the present data type was received via HP-IB. (A data terminator specifies the
units of the data entered; i.e., Hz, Degrees, Volts, Seconds, Percent, etc; the ENTER command is also
included in this group.)
