9 Error Messages
This chapter describes the error messages of the R&S SMC. The error messages are
output in the "Info" line on the screen and entered in the error/event queue of the status
reporting system.
A great variety of different messages such as status messages, error messages, warn-
ings or information are displayed in the header field of the screen. Some error messages
require that the error must be eliminated before correct instrument operation can be
ensured. The info window with a list of current messages and a detailed description of
each message can be opened with the INFO key.
In the remote control mode, error messages are entered in the error/event queue of the
status reporting system and can be queried with the command
SYSTem:ERRor?
. If the
error queue is empty, 0 ("No error") is returned.
9.1 Status Information
The status messages are displayed in the header section of the screen. The status infor-
mation gives the user an overview of the main operating states and settings of the instru-
ment. The states are indicated for information only and do not necessitate any action by
the user. Status information is displayed between the frequency and level fields, at the
left of the info line or in the info line itself.
9.1.1 Status information displayed between the frequency and level fields
This chapter gives an overview of the status messages displayed between the frequency
and level fields.
RF OFF
The RF output is switched off
MOD OFF
All modulations are switched off
FREQ OFFSET
A frequency offset is set.
The frequency entered and displayed in the "Frequency" field takes any set frequency
offset into consideration, e.g. an offset set for a downstream instrument. This means that
with a frequency offset the frequency displayed in the header does not correspond to the
frequency at the RF output, but rather to the frequency at the output of the downstream
instrument.
This allows the target frequency at the output of a downstream instrument to be entered
in the frequency field. The signal generator changes the RF output frequency according
to the entered offset.
