Warning and Error Messages
Introduction
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 or 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 Offset + Sum + level may cause clipping
16 Undoing unsaved amplitude or offset edit for <waveform name>
23 Offset will clip the waveform
24 Instrument not calibrated
26 Wrong channel count found <count1>, require <count2>. Issued when an attempt is
made to recall a set-up file with a different channel count to that of the current
instrument. The option is given to continue or cancel.
30 Amplitude will clip the waveform
42 Trigger source is fixed to external in SLAVE mode
59 Trigger slope is fixed to positive in SLAVE mode
81 The programmed mod depth cannot be set
83 Numeric value too large - switching to sample period
