5.1 Error information
The noise figure analyzer uses two methods to record the errors during measurement: the front panel
operation interface displays the error message queue and the SCPI (remote control mode) error
message queue, which are separately stored and managed.

5.1.1 Local error information
1) Error information viewing
Use the interface operation method:
If an error message is displayed on the bottom right corner of the noise figure analyzer during use, this
indicates that the software operation or the hardware of the noise figure analyzer encounters a problem.
You can roughly determine the type of the problem based on the error code and take appropriate
measures to eliminate the problem.
At one moment, one error message can only be displayed in the error display area of the noise figure
analyzer. Since the instrument may have several problems at the same time, you can view all the error
information by performing the following operations:
Step 1.
Press the
【
System
】
and then press the [Error List]. The error list window will pop up.
Step
2.
The prompt information is displayed in the window.
Step 3.
Use the mouse to browse the error information and close the dialog window.
Step 4.
Select the Clear List button to clear the history error information.
2) Description of error messages
If an error is detected during the measurement of the noise figure analyzer, a warning or an error
message (error code + error abbreviation) will appear on the right side of the status display area, as
shown in the figure below:

For the description of specific local error information,
refer to “
Appendix B Lookup Table of Error
”.
5.1.2. Remote control error information
1) Format and description of error information
Under the remote control mode, the error information will be recorded in the error/event queue of the
status reporting system. The error information can be queried with the command “SYSTem:ERRor?”,
and the format is as follows:
“<Error Code>, "<Error Information in the Error Queue>; <Detailed Description of Error Information>”
Example:
“-110, "Data out of Range; Inputted Parameter out of Lower Bound.”
