Appendix 1. Warning and Error Messages
Warning messages are given when a setting may not give the expected result, e.g. DC Offset
attenuated by the output attenuator when a small amplitude is set; the setting is, however,
implemented.
Error messages are given when an illegal setting is attempted; the previous setting is retained.
The last two warning/error messages can be reviewed by selecting
last error
from the
UTILITY screen, the latest is reported first.
Warning and error messages are reported with a number on the display; only the number is
reported via the remote control interfaces.
The following is a complete list of messages as they appear on the display.
