Status Messages

Pop-up Messages

Beginning on page 34, 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 b otto m of t he d ispl ay. If yo u a re using the de fault d is pla y colors, the message will appear in yellow. The message will remain until you preset the analyzer, press line.

Beginning on page 82, 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 86, 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 th e characteri st i cs of the Error Que u e.

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 remo te interface in i t i a tes activity th a t g e n erates an erro r, 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) activi ty, i t 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 er ror messages are listed in numerical orde r accord ing to the e rro r message number. Status and Informational messages without numbers will be listed in alphabetical order following the numerical listing.

In this chapter, an explanation i s in cl u ded with each error to furth e r cla ri fy 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 yellow. The error number is available through the remote interface and the show errors screen; it is not display ed in the status line.

Instrument Messages Introduction

Error Message Types

Events do not generate more than one type of error. F or 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.

–430 Query DEADLOCKED

Indicates that a condition causing a DEADLOCKED query error occurred (see IEEE 488.2, 6.3.1.7). For example, both the input buffer and the output buffer are full and the analyzer cannot continue. The analyzer automatically discards output to correct the deadlock.

–420 Query UNTERMINATED

Indicates that a condition causing an UNTERMINATED query error occurred (see IEEE 488.2, 6.3.2.2). For example, the device was addressed to talk and an i n co mplete prog ra m message was re c e ived.

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

–119.

–109 Missing parameter

Fewer parameters were received than required for the header. For example, the *ESE common command re quires one pa ram eter, so receiving *ESE is not allowed.

–108 Parameter not allowed

More parameters were received than e xpected for the head er. F or example , the *ESE common command only accepts one parameter, so receiving *ESE 0,1 is not allowed.

–105 GET not allowed

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 encounter ed. F or examp le, a string was received when the dev i ce does not accept strings .

–101 Invalid character

A syntactic command contains a character which is invalid for that type. For example , a head er c ontaining an ampers and, suc h as “SETUP&”. This error might be used in place of error numbers –114, –121, –141, and some others.

787 WBIF Self Test Failed

Variable resistor 122 performs a loop-bac k 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 IF pc assemblies are either incorrectly installed or have a hardware failure. Call your Agilent Service Representative.

There is diagnostic information available for the CE. The self test can be run with DIAG:WBIF:TEST? This comm a n d re t u rns 4 values: pa ss ed, 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 signal-to-noise ratio is more than 50, there is probably a bad ADC.

This error is normally generated when attempti ng occupied bandwidth measurements. The “X dB” value you entered (

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 diff erence between the trace minimum and maximum will be less than “X dB”.)

3. Center the signal. (There must be a point on the trace that is “X dB” down from the maximum on both sides of that maximum.)

No Carrier > –50 dBm found at the analyzer input within the search span. Solution: Modify center frequency to be closer to actual carrier, or alternatively apply carrier of sufficient amplitude at the current center frequency.

10561 Signal Tracking disabled when measuring DANL Floor (Removal).

Measuring the DANL Floor with DANL Method set to Removal requires that the user remove the signal and attach a load to the analyzer RF Input. Signal Tracking requires that the carrier be measured many times per measurement, so the two are inherently incompatible.

2 Functional Tests

Functional Tests

What You Will Find in This Chapter

This chapter describes the functional tests and provides information on how to perform them.

What Are the Functional Tests?

Functional tests are tests of various instrument parameters that give a high degree of confidence that the analyzer is operating correctly. They are recommended as a chec k of analyzer operation for incoming inspection or after a repair. Measurement uncertainty analysis is not available for functional tests, and the analyzer is checked against limits that are wider than the published specificat ions. The functional tests are designed to test an analyzer operating within the temperatur e range def ined by the analyzer specifica tions using a minimum set of test equipment. If a test does not pass, performance tests must be run to confir m a p ro b l e m ex i sts.

Functional Test Versus Performance Verification

Functional tests use a minimum set of test equipment to check a much smaller range of parameters (and a limited number of data points for each paramet er) than do pe rformance verification tests. Functional tests use limits that are wider than the published specifications; measurement uncertainty analysis is not available for functional tests.

NOTE If a functional test does not pass , you must run p erformance ve rification te sts

to confirm that a proble m exists.

Performance verification tests span a wide range of instrument parameters and provide the highest level of confidence that the instrument conforms to published specifications. These tests can be time consuming and require extensive test equipment.

This chapter includes the following:

• Bef ore Performing a Functional Test on page 97 (what to do first).
