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."
