SERVICE LOG ERROR MESSAGES APPENDIX B
B-12 373XXA MM
Error Message Description
Bad filename The supplied filename was bad. The filename can have 8 characters maximum. No
extensions. The filename must start with and alpha type character (A thru Z). After
that the allowable characters are alpha, numeric (0 thru 9) and underscore (_).
Conflict with rotary knob You should not be using the rotary knob and the GPIB at the same time.
Too many data points for exter
-
nal source
A 6700B series external source can handle 501 data points.
A 68000 series external source can handle 999 data points.
Recalled setup corrupted
Hardware mismatch in recalled
setup
Software mismatch in recalled
setup
These are problems with the recalled setup.

crete Fill
The maximum number of data points in discrete fill is 1601.
Not enough data points for Dis-
crete Fill
The minimum number or data points in discrete fill is 2.
Discrete Fill end frequency out of
range
The number of points for discrete fill puts the end frequency out of range.
Step is too large When setting up a time domain harmonic sweep, cannot get 2 data points because
the start frequency is too high for the approximate stop frequency. In a group delay
display, the delay aperture percent of sweep is less than one step size.
Range too small An attempt was made to set a distance or time span value too small. This can also be
done via inappropriate values for start and stop.
Start or stop out of range An attempt was made to set a distance or time start or stop value out of range. This
can also be done via inappropriate values for center and span.
No bands defined An attempt was made to turn on multiple source mode with no band definitions.
Out of frequencies for new band
definition
Source out of range by equation
External source out of range by
equation
The current set of multiple source mode bands use up all the frequency range of the
373XXA. Therefore, no more bands can be defined.
File is read only An attempt was made to write to a write protected file.
File not found An attempt was made to access a non-existent file.
Floppy drive not ready An attempt was made to access the floppy drive with no floppy disk installed.
Floppy disk full
Hard disk full
An attempt was made to write to a floppy disk or the hard disk when no space was left
on the disk.
