Error Number
Error Description [description/explanation/examples]
5005
desc = "Cal aborted: amplitude correction too large"
help = "An amplitude calibration was requested. The calibration was aborted since
the correction needed is more than +3dB or less than –10dB. Make sure you have
done an Auto-Align prior to calibration. If the amplitude error is still this large the
OSA may need to be serviced. The amplitude calibration function is not intended to
apply large arbitrary offsets. Use the amplitude offset function for this purpose."
5006
desc = "Cal aborted: cannot find an input signal"
help = "The calibration procedure cannot find an input signal close enough to the
wavelength and/or amplitude specified. Make sure the wavelength and/or
amplitude specified for calibration are correct and verify that an input signal of the
correct wavelength and/or amplitude is connected to the optical input."
5007
desc = "Calibration aborted: signal disappeared"
help = "The calibration procedure found a signal which subsequently disappeared.
Make sure the calibration signal is connected to the optical input and try again."
5008
desc = "Calibration was not successful"
help = "The requested calibration procedure did not complete successfully. Verify
the instrument setup and the presence of a valid calibration signal. This problem
can sometimes be caused by removing or changing the amplitude of the calibration
signal during the calibration procedure. In rare cases this error can occur after the
OSA has received a severe mechanical shock. Try running AutoAlign"
5009
desc = "I/O error"
help = "An error occurred while processing an input/output request"
5010
desc = "The floppy disk is full"
help = "There is not enough free space left on the floppy disk to contain the new
file(s). Either make room on the existing floppy by deleting unwanted files or try a
different floppy disk."
5011
desc = "There is no disk in the floppy disk drive"
help = "An operation was requested which uses the floppy disk. There is no disk
detected in the floppy disk drive. If there is a disk in the drive it may be of a format
which cannot be read. This problem can be fixed by inserting a disk in the floppy
disk drive or replacing the current disk with one which is properly formatted."
5012
desc = "The floppy disk is not formatted"
help = "An operation was requested which uses the floppy disk. The disk currently
in the drive does not appear to be formatted. Use the format utility to format the
disk or replace it with a formatted disk."
