10.1.1 Error Code Messages

Error Code messages appear on the screen while you are displaying measurements. When logs appear in graph

form, errors are indicated by a vertical gray bar at the point of error. When they appear in a spreadsheet format,

errors are indicated by their number in the last row, called “Error.”The Error Code messages are only general

descriptions of the possible problems. Use Table 8 to isolate and remedy the problem. If you are unable to remedy

the problem, contact Panametrics Sensing.

Note:

We suggest that, in order to isolate the indicated problem more easily, you obtain a test flowcell. Contact

Panametrics Sensing for details.
