OPTIONAL FUNCTION; NOT INSTALLED

Error Number
1

The function you requested requires a capability provided by an option to the
standard analyzer. That option is not currently installed. (Refer to

Options Available”

Chapter 7 , “Options and Accessories”

for a description of

the available options.)

OVERLAP!LIST TYPE CHANGED TO STEPPED

Error Number
211

The list type changed to stepped because one or more frequency segments in the
swept list table overlapped. Change the frequency ranges of the overlapping
segments and switch back to swept list mode.

OVERLOAD ON INPUT A, POWER REDUCED

(ES only)

Error Number
58

See OVERLOAD ON INPUT R, POWER REDUCED (error number 57).

OVERLOAD ON INPUT B, POWER REDUCED

(ES only)

Error Number
59

See OVERLOAD ON INPUT R, POWER REDUCED (error number 57).

OVERLOAD ON REFL PORT, POWER REDUCED

(ET only)

Error Number
58

See OVERLOAD ON INPUT R, POWER REDUCED (error number 57).

OVERLOAD ON TRANS PORT, POWER REDUCED

(ET only)

Error Number
59

See OVERLOAD ON INPUT R, POWER REDUCED (error number 57).

OVERLOAD ON INPUT R, POWER REDUCED

Error Number
57

You have exceeded approxi14 dBm at one of the test ports. The RF
output power is automatically reduced to

−

85 dBm. The annotation P

⇓

appears

in the left margin of the display to indicate that the power trip function has been
activated. When this occurs, reset the power to a lower level, then toggle the
softkey to switch on the power again.

PARALLEL PORT NOT AVAILABLE FOR GPIO

Error Number
165

You have defined the parallel port as COPY for sequencing in the HP-IB menu.
To access the parallel port for general purpose I/O (GPIO), set the selection to
