Reference > Troubleshooting Error and Information Messages
An acquisition was completed even though a hardware failure was detected. This message refers to the
acquisition data currently being analyzed, but not necessarily to the current status of the instrument. See
the explanation for "Hardware Failure".
If this data is from a saved fi le, the error cannot be cleared.
Data acquired during RF ADC overrange
An acquisition was completed but the signal was outside the range of the analog-to-digital converter at the
time this data was acquired. This message refers to the acquisition data currently being analyzed, but not
necessarily to the current status of the instrument. See the explanation for "RF ADC overrange".
If this data is from a saved fi le, this error cannot be cleared.
Data acquired during RF digital gain over fl ow
This data was acquired when the input signal contained peaks greater than 6 dB above the Reference
Level setting.
See the de fi nition for "RF digital gain over fl ow".
If the data is from a fi le, this error cannot be cleared.
Data acquired during warm-up
This data was acquired while the instrument was warming up. The warm-up period is 20 minutes. Until
this warm-up period is completed, the instrument is considered uncalibrated.
Data from unaligned instrument
The acquisition data was captured when the instrument was not aligned. This message refers to the
acquisition data currently being analyzed, but not necessarily to the current status of the instrument.
Measurements made on this data might not be accurate.
Data from uncalibrated instrument
The acquisition data was captured when the instrument was not calibrated. This message refers to the
acquisition data currently being analyzed, but not necessarily to the current status of the instrument.
See the de
fi nition for "Not calibrated".
If this data is from a fi le, the error cannot be cleared.
Data acquired with 3 GHz preamp
This is a warning that signals above 3 GHz are likely to be severely attenuated because the Preamp was on
when the data was acquired. The (optional) Preamp is not speci
fi ed for operation above 3 GHz.
Disabled: data is from swept acquisition
The display needs to run in real-time mode. The display associated with this message cannot run now
because it is not the selected display, and the selected display is performing multiple acquisitions (it is
in swept mode).
Change the settings of the selected display so it is performing real-time acquisitions.
Select the associated display to make it the selected display. When it is selected, it will force the
acquisition parameters to change to meet its own needs.
