10417  

This operation requires a measurement to be active.

 

The analyzer cannot perform this operation, because it requires a 
measurement to be running and no measurement is running.

10418  

Demod Format setting does not allow this value for 

Points/Symbol. 

Invalid Points/Symbol selection attempted for the given Demod Format 
setting.

10419  

Carrier Not Present.

A carrier signal/burst is expected at the analyzer input. This signal cannot 
be found; however, the measurement will still run. Check input signal 
connection. 

10420  

Valid burst not found. 

This error only occurs when 

RF Amptd

 is selected for 

Burst Sync

. It 

indicates that a valid burst envelope which meets the specified Burst 
Search Threshold was not found within the specified Burst Search Length. 
Note that the demodulation measurement will proceed by attempting to 
demodulate the signal without Burst Sync alignment. Possible causes may 
be: 

1. Carrier signal is not actually bursted.
2.  Burst Search Threshold and/or Burst Search Length may need to be 

adjusted.

10421  

Cannot lock to carrier.

This error only occurs when attempting to demodulate OFFSET QPSK 
signals. It indicates that the demodulation algorithm is unable to lock to 
your signal. Possible causes may be: 

1. There is no carrier signal. 
2. Carrier signal is present, but Demod settings do not match the 

modulation format of the OFFSET QPSK signal being measured. 

3. OFFSET QPSK signal is too noisy to achieve carrier lock.

10425  

B7D DSP Code Install Fail Opt.231. Contact your Service 

Center.

The Digital Signal Processor algorithm files required to for the 89600 VSA 
SW are not present in the analyzer. Reinstall the measurement 
personality and contact your service center.

10426  

Opt 231 DSP algorithm code file requires upgrade.

The Digital Signal Processing algorithm code file revision is not supported 
by the currently loaded personality version. Refer to the user guide for the 
personality in use for more information on installation/upgrade.
