"Settings conflict (StatParmInconsistent)"
Description:
The user has passed a parameter that conflicts with other already configured parameters.
Example:
There are constrains for TLS sweep parameters: this error is generated when lambda step
size exceeds the difference between start and stop wavelength.
If error -221 is returned after you try to start a wavelength sweep, one of the following
cases of sweep parameter inconsistency has occurred:
Continuous Sweep mode AND l Start is less than l Stop.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Sweep Time is too short. Adjust Sweep Speed, l Start, or l
Stop.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Sweep Time is too long. Adjust Sweep Speed, l Start, or l
Stop.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Trigger Frequency is too high. Adjust Step Size. Trigger
Frequency is the Sweep Speed divided by the Step Size.
Stepped Sweep mode AND Lambda Logging Enabled.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Lambda Logging Enabled AND Output trigger mode not set
to STFinished (Step finished).
Continuous Sweep mode AND Lambda Logging is Enabled AND Modulation Source is not
set to OFF.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Lambda Logging is Enabled AND Sweep Cycles is not set to
1.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Coherence Control is Enabled.
"Not allowed while laser is on" -
Description:
The user tried to set grid spacing or reference frequency without switching off the laser.
"Not allowed while frequency auto mode is on"
Description:
The user tried to issue a command which is only supported in grid mode.
"Not allowed while frequency auto mode is off"
Description:
The user tried to issue a command which is only supported in auto mode.
"Settings conflict"
Description:
Returned if the laser module reports an invalid configuration
Standard
-222
"Data out of range (StatParmTooLarge)"
Description:
The user has passed a continuous parameter that is too large.
Example:
Wavelength 1800nm when maximum wavelength is 1700nm.
Standard
-222
"Data out of range (StatParmTooSmall)"
Description:
The user has passed a continuous parameter that is too small.
Example:
Wavelength 700nm when minimum wavelength is 800nm.
