Error Messages

The data analyzer indicates an error by displaying "E." followed by a 2-digit
hexadecimal number. The first digit indicates the command that caused the
error, while the second digit indicates the parameter that caused the error
message (first parameter indicated by 1, second parameter by 2, and so on).
Sample Error Message
When an error occurs, press the data analyzer's [HALT] key to clear the error
condition and message. Note that error messages must be cleared from the
data analyzer before it can receive any other commands from a connected
graphic scientific calculator.

Probes

This section provides technical information about the probes that come with
the data analyzer. It also includes general technical information about probes
that can be connected to the data analyzer.

Light Probe

The light probe that comes with the data analyzer uses a photosensitive ele-
ment called a Cds to measure brightness, which is then converted to a nu-
meric value. The value produced does not correspond to any standard unit of
measurement, but simply indicates a relative measure of brightness in the
range of 100 to 999.
