This chapter is a dictionary reference table of front and rear-panel connectors,
front-panel keys (hardkeys), softkeys, and display annotations. With the
exception of a few front-panel keys, softkeys control all instrument functions.
This chapter is designed for quick access of information. For example, during
operation you may find a softkey or hardkey whose function is unfamiliar to
you. Note the key name, find the key in this chapter, and note the applicable
function. Some keys will have more than one function. Keys that begin with a

Option 011
Option 075
Option 110
High Stability Frequency Reference. Option 1D5 offers ±0.05 ppm temperature stability from 0 to 60°C (referenced to 25°C).
Harmonic Mode. Provides measurement of second or third harmonics of the
test device’s fundamental output signal. Frequency and power sweep are supported in this mode. Harmonic frequencies can be measured up to the maximum frequency of the receiver. However, the fundamental frequency may not
be lower than 16 MHz.
Extends the maximum source and receiver frequency of the analyzer to
6GHz.
Receiver Configuration. Option 011 allows front panel access to the R, A, and
B samplers and receivers. The transfer switch, couplers, and bias tees have
been removed. Therefore, external accessories are required to make most
measurements.
75Ω Impedance. Option 075 offers 75 ohm impedance bridges with type-N
test port connectors.
Deletes Time Domain. This option
displays the time domain response of a network by computing the inverse
Fourier transform of the frequency domain response. It shows the response of
a test device as a function of time and distance. Displaying the reflection coefficient of a network versus time determines the magnitude and location of
each discontinuity. Displaying the transmission coefficient of a network versus
time determines the characteristics of individual transmission paths. Time
domain operation retains all accuracy inherent with the correction that is
active in the frequency domain. The time domain capability is useful for the
design and characterization of such devices as SAW filters, SAW delay lines,
RF cables, and RF antennas.

ASCII: MISSING ’DATA’ STATEMENT
Error Number 195
The citifile you just downloaded over the GPIB or via disk was not properly
organized. The analyzer is unable to read the “DATA” statement.
ASCII: MISSING ’VAR’ STATEMENT
Error Number 196
The citifile you just downloaded over the GPIB or via disk was not properly
organized. The analyzer is unable to read the “VAR” statement.
AVERAGING INVALID ON NON-RATIO MEASURE
Error Number 13
You cannot use sweep-to-sweep averaging in single-input measurements.
Sweep-sweep averaging is valid only for ratioed measurements (A/R, B/R, A/B,
and S-parameters). You can use noise reduction techniques, such as narrower
IF bandwidth, for single input measurements.
BAD FREQ FOR HARMONIC OR FREQ OFFSET
Error Number 181
You turned on time domain or recalled a calibration that resulted in start and
stop frequencies that are beyond the allowable limits.
BATTERY FAILED. STATE MEMORY CLEARED
Error Number 183
The battery protection of the battery-operated memory has failed. The memory has been cleared. Refer to the
Agilent 8753D Service Guide
for battery
replacement instructions.
BATTERY LOW! STORE SAVE REGS TO DISK
Error Number 184
The battery protection of the memory is in danger of failing. If this occurs, all
of the instrument state registers stored in memory will be lost. Save these
states to a disk and refer to the
Agilent 8702E User’s Guide
for battery
replacement instructions.
BLOCK INPUT ERROR
Error Number 34
The analyzer did not receive a complete data transmission. This is usually
caused by an interruption of the bus transaction. Clear by pressing the
LOCAL
key or aborting the I/O process at the controller.

BLOCK INPUT LENGTH ERROR
Error Number 35
The length of the header received by the analyzer did not agree with the size
of the internal array block. Refer to the
Agilent 8702E Programmer’s Guide
for instructions on using analyzer input commands.
CALIBRATION ABORTED
Error Number 74
You have changed the active channel during a calibration so the calibration in
progress was terminated. Make sure the appropriate channel is active and
restart the calibration.
CALIBRATION REQUIRED
Error Number 63
A calibration set could not be found that matched the current stimulus state
or measurement parameter. You will have to perform a new calibration.
CANNOT FORMAT DOS DISKS ON THIS DRIVE
Error Number 185
You have attempted to initialize a floppy disk to DOS format on an external
disk drive that does not support writing to all 80 tracks of the double density
(gray) and high density disks (usually black). The older single-sided disks
(blue) had only 66 tracks and some disk drives were limited to accessing that
number of tracks. To format the disk, either choose another external disk
drive or use the analyzer’s internal disk drive.
CANNOT MODIFY FACTORY PRESET
Error Number 199
You have attempted to rename, delete, or otherwise alter the factory preset
state. The factory preset state is permanently stored in memory and cannot be
altered. If your intent was to create a user preset state, you must create a new
instrument state, save it, and then rename it to “UPRESET”.
CANNOT READ/WRITE HFS FILE SYSTEM
Error Number 203
The disk is being accessed by the analyzer and is found to contain an HFS
(hierarchical file system). The analyzer does not support HFS.
CAN’T CHANGE-ANOTHER CONTROLLER ON BUS
Error Number 37
You must remove the active controller from the bus or the controller must
relinquish the bus before the analyzer can assume the system controller mode.

CAN’T STORE/LOAD SEQUENCE, INSUFFICIENT MEMORY
Error Number 127
Your sequence transfer to or from a disk could not be completed due to insufficient memory.
CH1 (CH2) TARGET VALUE NOT FOUND
Error Number 159
Your target value for the marker search function does not exist on the current
data trace.
CONTINUOUS SWITCHING NOT ALLOWED
Error Number 10
Your current measurement requires the power range to switch between channel 1 and channel 2. To protect the attenuator from undue mechanical wear, it
will not be switched continuously. The “tsH” (test set hold) indicator in the
left margin of the display indicates that the inactive channel has been put in
the sweep hold mode.
COPY: device not responding; copy aborted
Error Number 170
The printer or plotter is not accepting data. Verify the cable connections,
GPIB addresses, and otherwise ensure that the copy device is ready.
COPY OUTPUT COMPLETED
Information Message
The analyzer has completed outputting data to the printer or plotter. The analyzer can now accept another copy command.
CORRECTION AND DOMAIN RESET
Error Number 65
When you change the frequency range, sweep type, or number of points,
error-correction is switched off and the time domain transform is recalculated,
without error-correction. You can either correct the frequency range, sweep
type, or number of points to match the calibration or perform a new calibration. Then perform a new time domain transform.
CORRECTION CONSTANTS NOT STORED
Error Number 3
A store operation to the EEPROM was not successful. You must change the
position of the jumper on the A9 CPU assembly.
CORRECTION TURNED OFF
Error Number 66
