Error Number Error Description [description/explanation/examples]
5000 desc = "AutoMeasure cannot find an input signal"
help = "The auto-measure procedure cannot find a usable input signal. Make
sure you have a signal connected to the optical input. Auto-measure will not
work with very small input signals. They must be measured manually."
5001 desc = "AutoAlign cannot find an input signal"
help = "The auto-align procedure cannot find a usable input signal. Make sure
you have a signal connected to the optical input."
5002 desc = "Cal aborted: there is no active marker"
help = "A wavelength calibration using the wavelength of the active marker was
requested. The calibration cannot be made because all markers are turned off.
Place a marker on the calibration signal and try again."
5003 desc = "Cal aborted: trace resolution is inadequate"
help = "A wavelength calibration using the wavelength of the active marker was
requested. The calibration cannot be done because the resolution of the
marker's trace is inadequate. Trace resolution is defined as wavelength span
divided by (trace points – 1) and must be less than 10pm. This problem can be
corrected by one or more of the following steps:
1. Reduce wavelength span
2. Increase number of trace points"
5004 desc = "Cal aborted: wavelength correction too large"
help = "A wavelength calibration was requested. The calibration was aborted
since the correction needed is larger than 2nm. Make sure you have the correct
index of refraction set. If the wavelength error is still this large the OSA may
need to be serviced. The wavelength calibration function is not intended to
apply large arbitrary offsets. Use the wavelength offset function for this
purpose."
