Explanations
50 "Fatal sensor error"
A sensor signalled a serious error. If the problem persists, please contact the R&S servicing
center.
51 "Overload"
A sensor signalled that the signal applied has exceeded the permissible maximum power.
CAUTION!
Sensor overload can destroy the electronic measurement system.
52 "Overrange"
This error is signalled if a sensor detects that one of its measurement channels is overranged.
The result is then probably incorrect. This error can occur if the automatic range function is
deactivated (SENSe:RANGe:AUTO OFF) and the manually selected measurement channel is
not suitable or the cross-over level (SENSe:RANGe:AUTO:CLEVel) was incorrectly selected.
53 "Truncated measurement"
In the BurstAv mode, the samples for the power are stored in an internal buffer until the end of
the power pulse is detected. If the buffer overflows the measurement is terminated and error
53 "Truncated measurement" is generated.
54 "Sample error"
Samples were lost while sampling the signal applied. The measured value can thus be incor-
rect.
55 "Sensor hardware error"
A sensor signalled an error in the sensor hardware. If the problem persists, please contact the
R&S servicing center.
56 "Filter truncated"
With the automatic filter function activated, a sensor tries to set the filter length such that the
required accuracy is obtained. If the measurement time required for this exceeds the value set
with SENSe:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO:MTIMe (max. time), the filter length is shortened such
that a measurement does not last more than the max. time and error message 56 "Filter trun-
cated" is generated.
57 "Standard settings incomplete"
The R&S NRP2 can be configured for measuring standardized signals with
SYSTem:STANdard:PRESet <string>. This command sets a number of predefined param-
eters. If a sensor does not support a specific parameter (e.g. a measurement mode), execution
error message 57 "Standard settings incomplete" is generated.
8.3 Bootmenu
The boot menu of the R&S NRP2 offers service and troubleshooting functions. It is pass-
word protected.
The start display indicates the "Bootmenu" button for a few seconds after power-on. The
bootmenu requires a password.
