Introduction
This chapter contains information about the power meter’s error messages. It
explains how to read the power meter’s error queue and lists all of the power
meter’s error messages and their probable causes.
When there is a hardware related problem, for example, a power sensor
overload, the error message is displayed on the status line at the top of the
display. In addition, the errors are also written to the error queue. If there are
any errors in the error queue, the front panel error annunciator is displayed
as shown in
Figure 4- 1 .
Other errors can also be generated when the power meter is being operated
over the remote interface. These errors also display the error annunciator and
are written to the error queue.
