Error Codes

The LDC-3926339 indicates general operational error conditions on the display or
through the GPIB. This section contains descriptions of the errors that are specific
to the LDC-3926339 module. Refer to the LDC-3926 Manual, for a list of
mainframe error codes and descriptions.

Front panel Error Indicators

When an error occurs, the error code appears on the Status page, the Chan page,
or the respective channel's setup pages on the front panel display.
The error code clears when you exit any page where it appears. Error indicator
codes are summarized in Table 5.6. These are the only error codes that appear on
the display. See Remote Accessible Error Codes on page 80 for a complete list of
all possible error codes.
The output drive shuts off when any error in Table 5.6 occurs.

Explanation
Pins 1 and 2 (interlock pins) are not connected properly or the
LASER ENABLE key lock is turned off on the front panel.
The laser current source pins are open, or some condition caused
the laser voltage to exceed the voltage limit (Vlim) setting.
The current limit (Ilim) was reached. This condition causes error
code E504 and shut down the source only when enabled through
the GPIB interface; otherwise, a current limit will only clip the drive
current at the Ilim value and indicate ILIM on the display.
The voltage on the laser current source is approaching the Vlim
value. This condition will cause Error Indicator Code E405 or E505
and shut down the source only when enabled through the GPIB
interface.
Software calculated optical output power limit (Plim) was detected.
Hardware has detected an error.
Laser source is off without hardware or software indicating a
reason.
Operating mode was changed while the laser current source was
on.
