18.1 Error Messages
While using the Model 9100 in its manual operating
mode it is possible that error messages will be
displayed on the screen. Some of these messages
simply inform the operator that the adjustments he/
she has made to the Model 9100's front-panel controls
would result in an invalid instrument condition — for
example, the requested AC output voltage and
frequency would exceed the Model 9100's volt-hertz
profile specification — while others warn of possible
failures within the instrument. The action which must
be taken when each of these messages appears
depends on the type of message displayed.
The Model 9100's error messages are therefore
broken down into different types as follows:-
Type A Fatal System Errors
This type of error occurs when the Model 9100's
microprocessor detects illegal conditions in the
calibrator's analog circuits or in its own hardware
and software operating environment. When this type
of error occurs, a hardware 'watchdog' circuit activates
the microprocessor's reset line to restart the Model
9100, and the appropriate fatal error message is
continuously displayed.
Action required:
Press the RESUME screen softkey or power the
Model 9100 off and then on. If the error message
recurs, note it and contact your local Wavetek Service
Center.
Type B General Operating Errors
These errors warn the user that he/she has requested
an operating condition which is beyond the normal
operating limits of the Model 9100.
Action required:
Adjust the requested operating conditions until they
lie within the Model 9100's specified limits and
proceed.
