|
ADDITIONAL STANDARDS NEEDED (error #68). |
|
|
Error correction for the selected calibration class cannot be computed without measuring the necessary standards. |
|
ADDRESSED TO TALK WITH NOTHING TO SAY (error #31). |
|
|
An enter command was sent to the HP 8753 without first requesting data with an appropriate output command (such as OUTPDATA). The HP 8753 has no data in the output queue to satisfy the request. |
|
AIR FLOW RESTRICTED: CHECK FAN FILTER (error #20). |
|
|
An inadequate air flow condition has been detected. Clean fan filter. For most efficient cooling, the instrument covers should be in place. If problem persists, troubleshoot power supplies. |
|
AVERAGING INVALID ON NON-RATIO MEASURE (error #13). |
|
|
Sweep to sweep averaging is only valid for ratioed measurements: AI R, BI R, AfB. Other noise reduction techniques are available for single input measurements. |
|
BLOCK INPUT ERROR (error #34). |

|
The HP 8753A did not receive a complete data transmission, usually caused by an interruption of the bus transaction: pressing the [LOCAL] key, or aborting the 10 process at the controller. |
|
BLOCK INPUT LENGTH ERROR (error #35). |
|
|
The length header received by the HP 8753A did not agree with the size of the internal array block. |
|
CALIBIRATION ABORTED (error #74) |
|
|
The calibration in progress was terminated due to change of active channel. |
|

|
CONTINUOUS SWITCHING NOT ALLOWED (error #10) |
|
|
The current measurement states require the S-parameter test set to automatically switch between a forward and reverse measurement, driving test port 1, then test port 2. To guard against undue mechanical wear in the RF switch, continuous switching is not allowed. The tsH indicator in the left margin of the display indicates that the instrument has been put in the sweep hold mode due to the test set. Turn dual channel OFF and make one measurement at a time by discretely activating each channel, or use NUMBER OF GROUPS trigger type to enable a limited series of dual channel measurements. |
|
CORRECTION CONSTANTS NOT STORED (error #3) |

|
INPUT OVERLOAD, ATTENUATOR SET TO MAX (error #160) |
|
|
This message occurs only with an HP85047A test set when the instrument is in 6 GHz mode. The power level at the A or B input has exceeded the maximum allowed, and the attenuator has been set automatically to 70 dB to reduce the power. The annotation P?appears in the left margin of the display to indicate that power trip has been activated. |

A logarithmic sweep is only valid if the stop frequency is greater than 4 times the start frequency. For frequency spans of less than two octaves, the sweep type automatically reverts to linear sweep. |
|
LOW-PASS: FREQ LIMITS CHANGED |
|
|
The frequency domain data points must be harmonically related from DC to the stop frequency. If this condition is not true when a low pass mode is selected, the end points of the frequency range are modified as necessary. |

The store operation will overflow the available disc space. Insert a new disc or purge the files appearing last in the directory, to create free disc space. |
|
NOT VALID FOR PRESENT TEST SET (error #62) |
|
|
The calibration requested is inconsistent with the test set type. This message occurs when (1) a full two port calibration is requested with any test other than an HP 85046A/B, or (2) a 1 port, 2 path calibration is requested with an HP 85046A (this is typically used with transmission/reflection test sets). |

|
OVERLOAD ON INPUT A, POWER REDUCED (error #58) |
|
|
Whenever the power level at one of the three receiver inputs exceeds approximately + 2 dBm, the RF OUT power level is reduced to the minimum possible level. A P? appears in the left margin of the display to indicate that the power trip function has been activated. To remedy this condition, decrease the power level at the input below 0 dBm. Then turn the power trip off. |
|
OVERLOAD ON INPUT B, POWER REDUCED (error #59) |
|
|

Then turn the power trip off. |
|
PHASE LOCK CAL FAILED (error #4) |
|
|
An internal phase lock calibration routine is automatically executed at power-on, when a drift in pretune values has been detected, and anytime a phase lock problem is detected (loss of lock). This message indicates that phase lock calibration was initiated and the first IF detected, but a problem prevented the calibration from completing successfully. Refer to the Troubleshooting Reference section of the service manual and execute test 48, Pretune Correction. |
|
PHASE LOCK LOST (error #8) |
|
|
Phase-lock was acquired but then lost. Refer to the Troubleshooting reference section of the Service Manual and execute the phase lock diagnostic routine. See Service Modes. |

|
|
Memory was taken for other functions. Reduce memory usage (see chapter 10), then redo sliding loads. |
|
SOURCE PARAMETERS CHANGED (error #61) |
|
|
Some of the stimulus parameters of the instrument state have been changed. This is usually due to a request to turn correction on. A calibration set for the current measurement parameter was found and activated. The instrument state was updated to match the stimulus parameters of the calibration state. |
|
SWEEP TIME INCREASED (error #11) |
|
|
Sweep time is automatically increased to compensate for other instrument state changes. Some parameters which cause an increase in sweep time are an increase in the number of points, narrower IF bandwidths, and sweep type. |
|

|
The HP 8753 is in local mode. In this mode, the HP 8753 will not respond to HP-IB commands with front panel key equivalents. It will however, respond to commands which have no such equivalents, such as status requests. |
|
TARGET VALUE NOT FOUND |
|
|
The target value for the marker search function does not exist on the current data trace. |
|
TEST ABORTED (error #113) |
|

|
|
Refer to the Adjustments and Corrections Constants section of the Service Manual for the appropriate equipment set up for this routine. |
|
WAITING FOR CLEAN SWEEP |
|
|
In single sweep mode, the instrument ensures that all changes to the instrument state, if any, have been implemented before taking the sweep. The HP-IB command that the instrument is currently processing will not complete until the sweep completes. |
|
WAITING FOR HP-IB CONTROL |
|
|
The HP 8753A has been instructed to use pass control (USEPASC). When the instrument next receives an instruction requiring active controller mode, it requests control of the bus and simultaneously displays this message. If the message remains, the system controller is not relinquishing the bus. |
|
WAITING FOR DISC |
|
|
This message is displayed between the start and finish of a read or write operation to a disc. |
|
WRITE ATTEMPTED WITHOUT SELECTING INPUT TYPE (error #32) |
|
|
The data header for the HP 8753, "#A" , was received with no preceding input command (such as INPUDATA). The instrument recognized the header but did not know what type of data to receive. |
|
WRONG DISC FORMAT, INITIALIZE DISC (error #77) |
|
|
A command to store, load, or read file titles has been received, but the disc format does not conform to the Logical Interchange Format (LlF). The instrument must initialize the disc before reading or writing to it. |
