Instrument Messages Introduction

The analyzer can generate various messages that appear on the display during operation. There are four types of messages.

This chapter describes the following types of messages displayed on the analyzer:

User Error

Messages

Informational Messages

Status Messages

Pop-up Messages

Instrument Messages

Beginning on page 36, User Error Messages appear when an attempt has been made to set a parameter incorrectly or an operation has failed (such as saving a file). These messages are often generated during remote operation when an invalid programming command has been entered. These messages appear in the status line at the bottom of the display. If you are using the default display colors, the message will appear in yellow. The message will remain until you preset the analyzer, press line.

Beginning on page 90, Informational Messages provide information that requires intervention. These messages appear on the status line at the bottom of the display. If you are using the default display colors, the message will appear in green (ESA) or yellow (PSA). The message will remain until you preset the analyzer, press line. The information provided in brackets, for example <filename> or <directory>, is a variable that represents a specific input provided previously.

Beginning on page 95, Status Messages appear on the right side of the analyzer display and/or set status bits in the SCPI Status Register system. These messages indicate a condition that may result in erroneous data being displayed. Most messages will only be displayed until the error condition is corrected. Multiple messages can be displayed and will be listed in the display area. In each case the name of the corresponding status bit is indicated in parenthesis. It will be noted if only a status bit is used (no message).

These messages indicate a condition that may require intervention. They appear in the middle of the display in a framed box. The message will remain until the appropriate intervention has taken place or the condition has been corrected.

Error Queues

There are two types of error queues, front panel and remote interface. These two queues are viewed and managed separately. Refer to Table 1-1. for more information on the characteristics of the Error Queue.

Front panel A summary of the last 11 error messages preceded by an error number

may be viewed in the Error Queue by pressing, When a remote interface initiates activity that generates an error, the messages are output to the remote bus. When output to the remote interface, they are preceded by an error number.

Remote interface (SCPI) When a user error condition occurs in the analyzer as a result of SCPI

(remote interface) activity, it is reported to both the front panel display error queue and the SCPI error queue. If it is a result of front panel activity, it reports to the front panel display error queue, and depending on the error, may also report to the SCPI error queue.

Instrument Messages Introduction

Error Message Format

The system–defined error numbers are chosen on an enumerated (“1 of N”) basis. The error messages are listed in numerical order according to the error message number. Status and Informational messages without numbers will be listed in alphabetical order following the numerical listing.

In this chapter, an explanation is included with each error to further clarify its meaning. The last error described in each class (for example, –400, –300, –200, –100) is a “generic” error. There are also references to the IEEE Standard 488.2-1992, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols and Common Commands for Use with ANSI/IEEE Std 488.1-1987. New York, NY, 1992.

Error messages are displayed at the bottom of the screen in the status line. If you are using the default display colors, the message will appear in green (ESA) or yellow (PSA). The error number is available through the remote interface and the show errors screen; it is not displayed in the status line.

Instrument Messages Introduction

Error Message Types

Events do not generate more than one type of error. For example, an event that generates a query error will not generate a device-specific, execution, or command error.

−499 to −400: Query Errors

−399 to −300: Device-Specific Errors

−299 to −200: Execution Errors

−199 to −100: Command Errors

These errors indicate that the analyzer output queue control has detected a problem with the message exchange protocol described in IEEE 488.2, Chapter 6. Errors in this class set the query error bit (bit 2) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1). These errors correspond to message exchange protocol errors described in IEEE 488.2, 6.5. In this case:

• Either an attempt is being made to read data from the output queue when no output is either present or pending, or

• Data in the output queue has been lost.

An error number in the range –399 to –300 indicates that the analyzer has detected an error where some device operations did not properly complete, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition. This is not a error in response to a SCPI query or command, or command execution. The occurrence of any error in this class will cause the device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register to be set.

These errors indicate that an error has been detected during analyzer execution.

These errors indicate that the analyzer parser detected an IEEE 488.2 syntax error. Errors in this class set the command error bit (bit 5) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1). In this case:

• Either an IEEE 488.2 syntax error has been detected by the parser (a control-to-device message was received that is in violation of the IEEE

488.2 standard. Possible violations include a data element which violates device listening formats or whose type is unacceptable to the device.), or

Instrument Messages

64 to 799: Device-Specific Errors

Greater than 10000: Measurement Applications Errors

• An unrecognized header was received. These include incorrect device-specific headers and incorrect or unimplemented IEEE 488.2 common commands.

These errors indicate that a device operation did not properly complete, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition. These codes are also used for self-test response errors. Errors in this class set the device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1).

The <error_message> string for a positive error is not part of the SCPI standard. A positive error indicates that the analyzer detected an error within the GPIB system, within the analyzer firmware or hardware, during the transfer of block data, or during calibration.

These errors indicate that an error has been detected while executing measurements requiring a personality option such as the GSM Measurement Personality or those measurements found under the key in SA mode.

–160 Block data error

This error, as well as errors –161 through –169, is generated when parsing a block data element. This particular error message is used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

Instrument Messages

–158 String data not allowed

A string data element was encountered, but not allowed by the device at this point in the parsing.

–151 Invalid string data

A string data element was expected, but was invalid (see IEEE 488.2,

7.7.5.2). For example, an END message was received before the terminal quote character.

–150 String data error

This error, as well as errors –151 through –159, is generated when parsing a string data element. This particular error message is used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

–148 Character data not allowed

40 Chapter 1

A legal character data element was encountered where prohibited by the device.

–144 Character data too long

The character data element contains more than twelve characters (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.1.4).

–141 Invalid character data

Either the character data element contains an invalid character or the particular element received is not valid for the header.

–140 Character data error

This error, as well as errors –141 through –149, is generated when parsing a character data element. This particular error message is used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

–138 Suffix not allowed

A suffix was encountered after a numeric element which does not allow suffixes.

Instrument Messages

–134 Suffix too long

The suffix contained more than twelve characters (see IEEE 488.2,

7.7.3.4).

–131 Invalid suffix

Attempt to send a SCPI command with a suffix that does not match the current units for the function.

The suffix does not follow the syntax described in IEEE 488.2, 7.7.3.2, or the suffix is inappropriate for this device.

–130 Suffix error

This error, as well as errors –131 through –139, is generated when parsing a suffix. This particular error message is used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

–128 Numeric data not allowed

A legal numeric data element was received, but the device does not accept one in this position for the header.

–124 Too many digits

The mantissa of a decimal-numeric data element contained more than 255 digits excluding leading zeros (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7.2.4.1).

−120 Numeric data error; VGR

Numeric data error

This error, and errors −121 through −129, is generated when parsing a data element that appears to be numeric, including non-decimal numeric types. This message is used if the device cannot detect a more specific error.

–114 Header suffix out of range

The value of a header suffix attached to a program mnemonic makes the header invalid.

–113 Undefined header

The header is syntactically correct, but it is undefined for this specific device. For example, *XYZ is not defined for any device.

–112 Program mnemonic too long

The header contains more than twelve characters (see IEEE 488.2,

7.6.1.4.1).

–111 Header separator error

A character which is not a legal header separator was encountered while parsing the header.

–110 Command header error

An error was detected in the header. This message is used when the device cannot detect the more specific errors described for errors –111 through –119.

–109 Missing parameter

Instrument Messages

Fewer parameters were received than required for the header. For example, the *ESE common command requires one parameter, so receiving *ESE is not allowed.

–108 Parameter not allowed

More parameters were received than expected for the header. For example, the *ESE common command only accepts one parameter, so receiving *ESE 0,1 is not allowed.

–105 GET not allowed

A Group Execute Trigger was received within a program message (see IEEE 488.2, 7.7). Correct the GPIB controller program so that the GET does not occur within a line of GPIB program code.

–104 Data type error

The parser recognized a data element that is not allowed. For example,

42 Chapter 1

numeric or string data was expected, but block data was encountered.

–103 Invalid separator

The parser was expecting a separator and encountered an illegal character. For example, the semicolon was omitted after a program message unit.

–102 Syntax error

An unrecognized command or data type was encountered. For example, a string was received when the device does not accept strings.

–101 Invalid character

A syntactic command contains a character which is invalid for that type. For example, a header containing an ampersand, such as “SETUP&”. This error might be used in place of error numbers –114, –121, –141, and some others.

−100 Command error

787 WBIF Self Test Failed

Option 122 or 140 performs a loop-back self-test on power up. It does an ADC image calibration, then stores a sine wave in RAM and plays it out the DAC. It then measures the carrier power, image rejection and signal-to-noise ratio. If this test fails, the wideband digitizer hardware is either incorrectly installed or has a hardware failure. Call your Agilent Service representative.

There is diagnostic information available. The self test can be run with DIAG:WBIF:TEST? This command returns 4 values: passed, carrier power, image rejection and signal to noise ratio.

First look at the carrier power. If it is below –50, the LVDS cable is probably missing or faulty. If the carrier power is above 0 dBm, image rejection less than 40 but SNR more than 50, there is probably a bad ADC.

788 WBIF ADC Image Calibration Failed

Instrument Messages

The wideband digitizer hardware uses two ADC's that must be kept in perfect synchronization to avoid unwanted images appearing in the spectrum. The instrument will occasionally perform an ADC Image Calibration (formerly known as Step Cal) to resynchronize the ADC's. This calibration is only known to fail if there is a hardware problem.

789 WBIF Firmware Reset

The wideband digitizer hardware has a local microprocessor controlling the hardware trigger. If this microprocessor resets, it will automatically restart and begin taking data again, and will send this error message. While this should never happen, it is a self-recovering error that requires no action on the part of the user. If, however, it starts to occur frequently, contact your Agilent service representative to find out if there is a firmware upgrade to solve the problem.

10227 Measurement suspended until carrier is turned off.

The receive channel power and the receive spur measurements are specified with the attenuation set to 0 dB. To prevent overload, the frequency spectrum of interest is monitored for signal levels which exceed a specified threshold before setting the attenuator to 0 dB. If a carrier is found, this message is displayed and the completion of the measurement will not occur until the carrier is removed. The carrier check may be turned off using the properties form under the front-panel

Mode Setup key.

You may also change the signal threshold which determines a carrier on the properties form.

10228 Cannot correlate to input signal.

This error is normally generated because of one of the following reasons:

1. Connect a signal to the input. (If there is no signal present, the difference between the trace minimum and maximum will generally be less than “X dB”.)

2. Increase the span. (If the signal is wide, the shoulders of the signal might not be present on the screen, and again, the difference between
