Bit no.*)
Problem concern-
ing external power
meter Pmet<i>
An external power meter has been configured, how-
ever, it cannot be controlled or provides error mes-
sages. If several power meters cause problems, the
lowest number is indicated.
Check whether the power meter is
properly connected and switched on.
Check the GPIB address; exclude
address conflicts when using several
external power meters or other equip-
ment.
11
Time grid too close The sweep points for a time sweep are too close,
the analyzer cannot process the measurement data
until the next sweep point starts.
Increase stop time, reduce no. of
points, increase IF bandwidth. If pos-
sible reduce number of partial mea-
surements, e.g. by restricting the
number of ports measured.
12
Overload at DC
MEAS <range>
The input voltage at one of the DC input connectors
on the rear panel is too high.
Reduce input voltage.
13
Port <i> output
power unleveled
The level control is unsettled or unstable, possibly
due to an external disturbing signal.
Change generator level at the port;
check external components.

9.2 Errors during Firmware Installation/Update
During firmware installation or update, if the installer encounters an error, the update is
cancelled and the analyzer firmware is rolled back to its previous state.
Currently there is only one exception to this rule, which was implemented to gracefully
recover from a failed FPGA update:
