04504) and interconnect list (document 04496) in Appendix D.

11.1.1. Warning Messages

The most common and/or serious instrument failures will result in a warning message
displayed on the front panel. Table A-2 in Appendix A-3 contains a list of warning
messages, along with their meaning and recommended corrective action.
It should be noted that if more than two or three warning messages occur at the same
time, it is often an indication that some fundamental analyzer sub-system (power supply,
relay board, motherboard) has failed rather than an indication of the specific failures
referenced by the warnings. In this case, a combined-error analysis needs to be performed.
The analyzer will alert the user that a warning is active by displaying the keypad labels
MSG and CLR on the front panel and a text message in the top center line of the display as
shown in this example:
The analyzer will also issue a message to the serial port and cause the red FAULT LED on
the front panel to blink.
To view or clear a warning messages press:
<TST TST> keys replaced with
TEST key. Pressing TEST
deactivates warning messages
until new warning(s) are activated.
If warning messages re-appear,
the cause needs to be found. Do
not repeatedly clear warnings
without corrective action.

11.1.2. Fault Diagnosis with Test Functions

Besides being useful as predictive diagnostic tools, the TEST functions, viewable from the
front panel, can be used to isolate and identify many operational problems when combined
with a thorough understanding of the analyzer's theory of operation (Chapter 10). We
recommend to use the APICOM remote control program to download, graph and archive
TEST data for analysis and long-term monitoring of diagnostic data (
