CORRECTION AND DOMAIN RESET

Error Number When you change the frequency range, sweep type, or number of points,

65error-correction is switched off and the time domain transform is recalculated, without error-correction. You can either correct the frequency range, sweep type, or number of points to match the calibration, or perform a new calibration. Then perform a new time domain transform.

CORRECTION CONSTANTS NOT STORED

Error Number A store operation to the EEPROM was not successful. You must change the

3position of the jumper on the A9 CPU assembly. Refer to the “A9 CC Jumper Position Procedure” in the “Adjustments and Correction Constants” chapter of the HP 8753E Network Andgzcr semvice Guide.

CORRECTIONON:AUXCHANNEL(S)RESTORED

Error Number This message is displayed when a calibration is restored and that calibration

214 previously had one or both auxiliary channels enabled.

CORRECTION TURNED OFF

Error Number Critical parameters in your current instrument state do not match the

6 6parameters for the calibration set, therefore correction has been turned off. The critical instrument state parameters are sweep type, start frequency, frequency span, and number of points.

CURRENT PARAMETER NOTINCAL SET

Error Number Correction is not valid for your selected measurement parameter. Either

64 change the measurement parameters or perform a new calibration.
