Solving Problems with Saving or Recalling Files
Solving Problems with Saving or Recalling Files If you encounter a problem when you are storing files to disk, or the analyzer internal
memory, check the following list for possible causes:
• Look in the analyzer display message area. The analyzer may show a message that will
identify the problem. Refer to the "Error Messages" chapter of the reference guide if you
view a message.
• Make sure that you are NOT using a single-sided floppy disk in the analyzer disk drive.
• Make sure that you are using a formatted disk.
• Make sure that the disk has not been formatted with the LIF-HFS (hierarchical file
system) extensions as the analyzer does not support this format.
If You Are Using an External Disk Drive
• Make sure that the analyzer is in system controller mode, by pressing
.
• Make sure that you have connected the disk drive to ac power, switched on the power,
and connected a GPIB cable between the disk drive and the analyzer.
• Make sure that the analyzer recognizes the disk drive's GPIB address, as explained in
"If You Are Plotting Measurement Results to a Disk Drive" on page 4-13.
• Make sure that the analyzer recognizes the disk (drive) unit that you selected (0 or 1).
• If the external disk is a hard disk, make sure that the disk volume number is set
correctly.
• If the disk drive is an older HP 9122, it may not recognize the newer high density disks.
• Substitute the GPIB cable.
• Substitute the disk drive.
