The type of message determines which manual to refer to for more information. There
are four types of messages:
•
Positive numbered error messages
•
IBASIC error messages
•
HP-IB error messages
•
Text only messages
The following paragraphs give a brief description of each message format and
direct you to the manual to look in for information about error messages displayed
in that format.
Messages are always accompanied by a BEEP from the internal speaker, unless
the Beeper field on the CONFIGURE screen is set to Off.
TURN THE INSTRUMENT OFF! This warns of a situation that will eventually
damage the Test Set. Remove any connections to the front panel RF IN/OUT,
DUPLEX OUT, and ANTENNA IN connections. Turn the Test Set back on; the
instrument should power up in its factory preset state (unless a POWERON Save/
Recall register was saved). The siren should not come back on.
