Error Number

Error Description [description/explanation/examples]

 

 

5032–5043

desc = “I/O Error”

 

help “An unexpected error occurred during the I/O operation. Please try the

 

operation again. If the operation involves the floppy disk drive, try a different

 

floppy disk. If the error persists, please make a note of the error number and

 

contact the nearest Hewlett-Packard Instrument support center for assistance.

 

In the U.S., call (800) 403-0801. See the HP 86140 series Users Guide for a

 

listing of the HP sales and service offices.

5044

desc = “Please cycle power to synchronize system time”

 

help = “The system time clock has been set backwards. Due to internal system

 

requirements it is necessary to cycle power before continuing. Please turn

 

power off and back on again. This must be done to ensure proper system

 

operation.”

5045

desc = “Sweep limit markers too close together”

 

help = “The sweep limit function is on and the line markers are too close

 

together. The OSA cannot limit the sweep range to such a small value. The

 

current sweep may be using a wider range than requested. Move the line

 

markers farther apart or turn off sweep limit to resolve this problem.”

5046

desc = “AutoAlign cannot find input signal at marker”

 

help = “The auto-align procedure could not find a usable input signal. If there is

 

an active marker auto-align will attempt to align at the marker wavelength

 

without searching for a signal peak. This error can also occur if the input signal

 

amplitude is very low or if the OSA has received a large mechanical shock or if

 

the input signal is removed after the auto-align procedure has begun. Be sure a

 

signal is connected to the optical input. If there is an active marker make sure it

 

is placed on the input signal or turn off all markers.”

5047

desc = “Signal disappeared during AutoAlign”

 

help = “The auto-align procedure did not complete. The input signal disappeared

 

during the auto-align procedure. Make sure the input signal is connected to the

 

optical input and try again.”

5048

desc = “Wrong trace X axis units for peak to center”

 

help = “The peak-to-center function was requested. This function will only

 

execute if the active trace X axis has units of meters (um nm pm). Change the

 

active trace to one with an X axis in meters or re-measure the active trace in a

 

non-zero span.”
