9 Error Messages 
The present chapter contains the error messages (short-term and long-term messages) of the R&S 
SML / R&S SMV03.  
 
Short-term message 
The short-term message is displayed in the status line. Part of it 
overwrites the status indications and disappears after approx. 2 seconds 
or in the case of a new entry. 
The instrument shows, e.g., short-term messages if the attempt is made 
to enter an overrange or if incompatible operating modes deactivate one 
another. 
 
Long-term message 
The long-term message is displayed in the status line by means of the 
message "Err". Pressing the [ERROR] key calls the ERROR page in 
which the messages are entered. Several messages can be entered at 
the same time. The long-term message remains existing until there is no 
cause any more. The ERROR page is exited using the [BACK] key. 
 
The ERROR page offers access to long-term messages if the [ERROR] key is pressed.

Notes: - An error message "Err" does not necessarily point to a defect instrument. There are 
various operating states which can cause an ERROR message, e.g. if the instrument is 
set to external reference but no external reference is connected. 
  -  Error -313 indicates the loss of calibration data and is also applicable in case of a cold 
start (key [PRESET] is pressed during switch-on). The calibration values can be 
restored with internal calibration routines. These routines are accessible via menu 
Utilities - Calib (see section on calibration).
