Device-Specific Error Messages

The following table contains all error messages specific for the instrument in alphabetical order, as well as an explanation of the error situation. The positive error codes mark the errors specific of the instrument.

The device-specific error messages set bit 3 in the ESR register.

The index provides a list of the error messages sorted according to their error codes.

Description

Remedy

50

Extern reference out of range or disconnected

External reference is selected but no external signal is applied or the signal is out of range.

  • Check the selected reference signal source (internal or external) in the "Setup > Reference Oscillator" dialog.
  • Change setting to 'internal' if no appropriate external source is available.

140

This modulation forces other modulations off

A modulation has been switched on which cannot be used at the same time as an already active modulation. The previous modulation has been switched off.

Example: Enabling FM modulation switches PM modulation off.

 

180

Adjustment failed

Adjustment could not be executed

The adjustment data have to be generated first by an internal or external adjustment or to be loaded into the device (see "Internal Adjustments".

182

Adjustment data missing

Adjustment data are missing.

The adjustment data have to be generated first by an internal or external adjustment or to be loaded into the instrument.

183

Adjustment data invalid

Adjustment data are invalid and must be restored.

The adjustment data have to be generated again by an internal or external adjustment or to be loaded into the instrument.

200

Cannot access hardware

The data transmission to a module was unsuccessful.

The module is not installed, not properly installed or missing.

201

Hardware revision out of date

A later version of certain parts of the instrument is necessary to execute the function selected.

The driver does not support the installed version of a module.

202

Cannot access the EEPROM

A error occurs when writing or reading a EEPROM.

The EEPROM might be defect and has to be replaced.

203

Invalid EEPROM data

Reading a EEPROM is possible, however the data are inconsistent.

 

204

Driver initialization failed

Initialization of a driver fails when booting the instrument firmware.

The driver is not compatible with the hardware or software configuration of the instrument.

241

No current list

There is no list selected. To execute the required operation, a list has to be selected in the related menu.

If no list is available, a new list must be created.

242

Unknown list type specified

The list type selected is not valid for the required operation.

For instance, the file extension for waveform list files is *.wv. It is not possible to enter another file extension when selecting a list.

Check the selected list type.

460

Cannot open file

The selected file can not be opened.

Check the path and file name.

461

Cannot write file

The file can not be written.

Check if the file is read-only.

462

Cannot read file

The file can not be read.

Check if the file contents are compatible with the file type.

463

Filename missing

The required operation cannot be executed because the file name is not specified.

A file name has to be entered when creating a new list.

464

Invalid filename extension

The file extension is not valid for the required operation.

Check the file extension.

For instance, the file extension for waveform list files is *.wv. It is not possible to enter another file extension when storing a list.

465

File contains invalid data

The selected file contains data that is not valid for the file type.

The file extension determines the data that is valid for this file type. If the file extension is changed the lists are no longer recognized and the data are therefore invalid.

Example: the extension of a waveform file (= *.wv) was changed to *.txt

Check the file extension.
