Appendix 1. Warning and Error Messages
Warning messages are given when a setting may not give the expected result, e.g. DC Offset
attenuated by the output attenuator when a small amplitude is set; the setting is, however,
implemented.
Error messages are given when an illegal setting is attempted; the previous setting is retained.
The last two warning/error messages can be reviewed by selecting LAST ERROR from the
UTILITY screen, the latest is reported first.
Warning and error messages are reported with a number on the display; only the number is
reported via the remote control interfaces.
The following is a complete list of messages as they appear on the display.
Warning Messages
00
No errors or warnings have been reported
13
DC offset changed by amplitude
14
DC level may cause clipping
23
Offset will clip the waveform
24
This instrument is not calibrated
30
Amplitude will clip the waveform
37
Trigger generator maximum resolution is 20ns
40
Arb length less than 10 points. May give unpredictable result
42
Trigger source is fixed to external in TONE/SWP/SLAVE mode
43
Arb repeated in two seq segs so SEQ SYNC may not be correct
59
Trigger slope is fixed to positive in SWEEP/SLAVE mode
