Error
Number String
-221 "Settings conflict (StatParmInconsistent)"
Description:
The user has passed a parameter that conflicts with other already config-
ured parameters.
Example:
There are constrains for TLS sweep parameters: this error is generated
when lambda step size exceeds the difference between start and stop
wavelength.
If error -221 is returned after you try to start a wavelength sweep, one of
the following cases of sweep parameter inconsistency has occurred:
Continuous Sweep mode AND l Start is less than l Stop.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Sweep Time is too short. Adjust Sweep
Speed, l Start, or l Stop.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Sweep Time is too long. Adjust Sweep
Speed, l Start, or l Stop.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Trigger Frequency is too high. Adjust Step
Size. Trigger Frequency is the Sweep Speed divided by the Step Size.
Stepped Sweep mode AND Lambda Logging Enabled.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Lambda Logging Enabled AND Output trig-
ger mode not set to STFinished (Step finished).
Continuous Sweep mode AND Lambda Logging is Enabled AND Modula-
tion Source is not set to OFF.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Lambda Logging is Enabled AND Sweep Cy-
cles is not set to 1.
Continuous Sweep mode AND Coherence Control is Enabled.
-222 "Data out of range (StatParmTooLarge)"
Description:
The user has passed a continuous parameter that is too large.
Example:
Wavelength 1800nm when maximum wavelength is 1700nm.
-222 "Data out of range (StatParmTooSmall)"
Description:
The user has passed a continuous parameter that is too small.
Example:
Wavelength 700nm when minimum wavelength is 800nm.
