AttFixed
Attenuator fixed mode is active.
The uninterrupted level settings are made in a fixed range without
attenuator switching. The variation range is set automatically when this
mode is activated. The range is displayed under Attenuator Fixed Range
in the Level menu.
UCorr
User Correction is active.
The level is corrected by the given values in the selected user correction
list. Correction is performed by the user-defined list values being added to
the output level for the respective RF frequency. With frequencies which
are not contained in the list, the level correction is determined by
interpolation of the closest correction values.
OvenCold
The reference oscillator has not yet reached its nominal frequency.
When switching on from the STANDBY mode, the specified frequency
accuracy is reached immediately. If the power switch was switched off,
the reference oscillator needs some warm-up time to reach its nominal
frequency. During this period of time, the output frequency does not yet
reach its final value either.
Error Messages
Messages indicate errors in the instrument. They are displayed in the info line in different colors
depending on their importance and display duration. Errors (e.g. no calibration data) are displayed in
red, information (e.g. file not found) and warnings in black. Warnings indicate less significant errors (e.g.
the instrument operates outside specified data).
Volatile messages
Volatile messages report automatic settings in the instrument (e.g. switching off of incompatible types of
modulation) or on illegal entries that are not accepted by the instrument (e.g. range violations). They are
displayed in the info line on a yellow background. They are displayed on top of status information or
permanent messages.
Volatile messages do not normally demand user actions and disappear automatically after a brief period
of time. They are stored in the history, however.
Remote-control command:
SYST:ERR? or SYST:ERR:ALL?
Permanent messages
Permanent messages are displayed if an error occurs that impairs further instrument operation, e.g. a
hardware fault. The error signaled by a permanent message must be eliminated before correct
instrument operation can be ensured.
The message is displayed until the error is eliminated. It covers the status display in the info line. After
error elimination, the message automatically disappears and is also recorded in the history.
Remote-control command:
SYST:SERR?
