Page 45: To Change The Measurement Display
Chapter 3, Operating Overview To Change the Measurement Display To Change the Measurement Display To Use the On/Off Function The on/off function is used for the following operations. • Measurements that are displayed as numbers, or as meters using the METER function, can be turned on and off.
Page 46 Chapter 3, Operating Overview To Change the Measurement Display To Use the METER Format The METER function displays measurements graphically. The METER format is available for most measurements. To determine if the METER format is provided for a measurement, position the cursor in front of the measurement’s units field and press the knob.
Page 47 Chapter 3, Operating Overview To Change the Measurement Display To Set a Measurement Reference The REF SET function establishes a measurement reference point. This allows you to make a direct comparison between two measurement results, or between a measurement standard and the actual measurement results. Referenced measurements are displayed as either a ratio (dB) or difference between the measured value and the reference.
Page 48 Chapter 3, Operating Overview To Change the Measurement Display To Use Measurement Averaging The AVG (average) function allows you to reduce the effects of a rapidly changing measurement by displaying the average value of a number of measurements. 1. Position the cursor in front of the measurement’s unit-of-measure. 2.
Page 49 Chapter 3, Operating Overview To Change the Measurement Display To Set Measurement Limits The LO LIMIT and HI LIMIT functions are used to define a measurement “window” to alert you to measurements that are outside these limits. When limits are assigned, and/or appear by the measurement.
Page 50 Chapter 3, Operating Overview To Change the Measurement Display Front-Panel Example This example sets limits for the measurement. These limits will Avg Power − indicate if the power level is between 5 dBm and +5 dBm. 1. Position the cursor in front of the unit-of-measure for the Avg Power measurement (the default is dBm).
Page 51: To Enter And Change Values
Chapter 3, Operating Overview To Enter and Change Values To Enter and Change Values To Enter Decimal Values Values can be entered and changed using various methods, depending on your testing needs. 1. Position the cursor in front of the numeric entry field to be changed. 2.
Page 52 Chapter 3, Operating Overview To Enter and Change Values To Enter Hexadecimal Values Hexadecimal (Hex) values are used for entering some signaling parameters, such as MIN (Mobile Identification Number). No unit-of-measure is associated with these values. Hexadecimal values are either entered from the keypad (using the A-F shifted functions), or by using the menu.
Page 53 Chapter 3, Operating Overview To Enter and Change Values To Increment/Decrement Values Incrementing and decrementing values on the Test Set can be performed from the front panel with the CURSOR CONTROL knob or the up/down arrow keys., or ÷ × the INCR 10 and INCR 10 keys.
Page 54: Saving And Recalling Instrument Setups
Chapter 3, Operating Overview Saving and Recalling Instrument Setups Saving and Recalling Instrument Setups The save and recall functions allow you to store different instrument setups and retrieve them later, eliminating the task of re-configuring the Test Set.

Page 333 Error −251 Missing mass storage Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed because of missing mass storage. For example, an option that was not installed. Error −252 Missing media Indicates that a legal program command or query could not be executed because of a missing media.
Page 334 Error −260 Expression error Indicates that an expression program data element related error occurred. Error −261 Math error in expression Indicates that a syntactically legal expression program data element could not be executed due to a math error. For example, a divide-by-zero was attempted. Error −270 Macro error Indicates that a macro-related execution error occurred.
Page 335 Error −275 Macro definition too long Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence could not be executed because the string of block contents were too long for the device to handle (see IEEE 488.2, 10.7.6.1). Error −276 Macro recursion error Indicates that a syntactically legal macro program data sequence could not be executed because the device found it to be recursive (see IEEE 488.2 10.7.6.6).
Page 336 Error −284 Program currently running Certain operations dealing with programs are illegal while the program is running. For example, deleting a running program is not possible. Error −285 Program syntax error Indicates that syntax error appears in a downloaded program. Error −286 Program runtime error Error −300...

This code is entered into the queue in lieu of the code that caused the error. Error −400 Query error This code indicates only that a Query Error as defined in IEEE 488.2 11.5.1.1.7 and 6.3...
Page 338 Indicates that the Test Set was not able to initialize the Input Module Relay Switch Count EEPROM file during installation of a new input module. This error is most probably generated as a result of a hardware error or failure. Refer to the HP 8924C Assembly Level Repair Manual for diagnostic information.
Page 339 Error −1303 Page attempted while not in Active state. Indicates that an attempt was made to Page a mobile station when the Call Processing Subsystem was not in the Active state. Error −1304 Origination attempted while not in Active state. Indicates that a mobile station attempted to originate a call to the simulated Base Station when the Call Processing Subsystem was not in the Active state.
Page 340 Failure to zero the power meter can result in erroneous RF power measurements. See “Using the Analog Call Processing Subsystem” chapter in the HP 8924C Application Guide for information on zeroing the RF Power meter. Error −1312 Data from RVC contains invalid bits in word [1,2,3].
Page 341 Error −1315 Data from RECC contains invalid bits in word [1,2,3]. Indicates that the decoded data received on the reverse control channel contains invalid bits in word 1 and/or word 2 and/or word 3. The raw decoded data is displayed in top right-hand portion of the screen.
Page 342 List of Text Only Error Messages Operation errors generally occur when you try to do something the Test Set was not designed to do. Most messages tell you what to do to correct the problem, (turn something off, reduce a field’s value, press a certain key, and so forth). Some common messages are listed here: All self tests passed.
Page 343 Change RF Gen Amplitude, Output Port or Atten Hold (if on). This message appears when the RF Generator’s Amplitude field is set too high when using the RF IN/OUT port or when adjusting the amplitude with the Atten Hold field set to On.
Page 344 Direct latch write occurred. Cycle power when done servicing. The SERVICE screen was accessed and one or more internal latch settings were changed. Turn the instrument off and back on to reset the latches. (This condition can occur during periodic calibration.) Input value out of range.
