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.”
