Operators Manual

5.9 Errors

During program operations, errors may appear. The error messages are grouped into input errors, a hardware error, and communication errors.

INPUT ERRORS

Input errors may appear while changing Item values. When these errors occur, press any key to clear the error and enter a different value. After clearing the error, you may press Escape to end editing. The input errors are:

Value must be greater than zero

Must specify at least one digit

Value must be less than 999.99

HARDWARE ERROR

A hardware error occurs when the program cannot perform a required hardware operation. The only hardware error is a printer error. If the Customization software cannot send information to the printer, the following message appears.

Printer Error

Press any key to clear the error. Correct the problem causing the error (for example, out of paper or the printer is not on-line), and try printing again.

COMMUNICATION ERRORS

These errors indicate that the communications between the computer and the instrument is faulty. Generally, the icon in the upper right corner indicates the status of the RS-232 connection. The following errors indicate problems during actual communication. Press any key to clear the error.

Dosimeter is not connected

If the RS-232 connection becomes severed during communication, this error appears. Re-connect the line and try the download again.

Upload/Download mismatch

If the information received from the 35360A does not match that sent by the Customization software, this error appears. Generally, the downloaded information was out of the boundary given for the specific Item. The Customization software retains the ORIGINAL text or value.

Finally, the Customization software checks the RS-232 connection at the beginning of the program. If it detects that no instrument is connected, the program ends and an error message occurs. Check the cable for breaks and confirm that the connections are solid. The program defaults to COM1: for the communications port. If that port is in use, specify COM2: by placing /2 on the command line:

custom /2

Also, make sure that the instrument has been on for at least five seconds.
