Table 3: Common information messages
Message Explanation and recommended action
Acq BW too small for current setup The display needs a wider acquisition bandwidth than the current data record
contains. This can be due to any of the following reasons:
A display other than the one you intended has been selected. The selected
display has requested a smaller acquisition bandwidth to achieve a better
accuracy or dynamic range for its particular measurement.
Select the display that contains the message. Click Run if the instrument
is not already acquiring data.
Acquisitions are not running and the measurement now requests a wider
bandwidth than the last acquisition.
Click Run to perform a new acquisition with a wider bandwidth.
The data is from a recalled fi le.
There is no way to increase the acquisition bandwidth for saved data. You
must adjust the measurement settings so that less bandwidth is required.
Need swept acq or larger Acq BW When any display requires a swept acquisition, the other displays are unable to
process the swept data. This is because the swept data is customized for the
selected display.
Select the display that you are interested in and the acquisition settings will
automatically change to meet the requirements of the selected display.
RBW increased to 100 kHz The current Spectrum Length or Analysis Length is not long enough to allow
a narrower RBW
fi lter.
If the Length control is set to Manual, try increasing it or setting it to Auto so
that the Analysis Length will increase to the required value.
