Measurement Integrity Indicator

Integrity Indicator Number

Integrity Indicator Message

0

Normal: Indicates the measurement completed successfully without error and the result is accurate.

1

No Result Available: Indicates that there is no measurement result and returns NAN (not a number).

2

Measurement Timeout: Indicates that a measurement has timed out. The measurement timeout state must be set to ON.

3

Hardware Not Installed: Indicates that a piece of hardware is not installed in the test set, or the hardware has failed in a way which leads the instrument controller to believe it isn't installed.

4

Hardware Error: Indicates that a hardware failure has occurred. These include failures such as a phase lock loop out-of-lock, defective DSP samplers, or power detectors that can not be calibrated.

5

Over Range: Indicates that the input signal level is too high. The amplitude of the device-under test's (DUT's) signal is causing the voltage at a DSP sampler to be above its maximum input level or the frequency is too high or the voltage measured is beyond the maximum voltmeter range, either positive or negative.

6

Under Range: Indicates that the input signal is too low. The amplitude of the DUT's signal is not high enough for the DSP sampler to produce accurate results with the measurement algorithm.

7

Burst Short: Indicates that the burst duration is too short, or part of the burst was not sampled due to improper triggering.

8

Trigger Early or Fall Early: Indicates that the DUT's burst amplitude fell prematurely or, due to an early trigger (early relative to a transmitted burst) the measurement sampling operation terminated before the falling edge of the burst.

9

Trigger Late or Rise Late: Indicates that either the rising edge of the DUT's burst was late or, due to a late trigger (late relative to a transmitted burst) the measurement sampling operation didn't start until after the rising edge of the transmitted burst.

10

Signal Too Noisy: Indicates that the measurement algorithm has found the signal measured to be too noisy to provide accurate results.

11

Sync Not Found: Indicates that the midamble was not found therefore the measurement was not synchronized.

13

Unidentified Error: Indicates errors which are not covered by the other integrity values. Examples include: parameter errors, algorithm memory errors (too many measurements), measurements unavailable (unable to control), autorange unable to converge, default calibration data used.

19

Uncalibrated Due To Temperature: Indicates that the measurement is uncalibrated because of temperature changes.

21

Parameter Error: Indicates that a measurement setup parameter has been set in a way that gives invalid measurement results.

24

Calibration Error: Calibration data was missing, invalid, or default calibration data was used.

30

Autoranging Failed To Converge: The autoranging algorithm could not converge. The signal was oscillating in power.

34

Error Requesting Samples: An error was returned when a request for samples was made.

38

Uncalibrated Due To Time: Indicates that the measurement is uncalibrated because of elapsed time since the last calibration.

41

Sampler Memory Overflow; Retry Measurement: Due to a race condition or system loading, sampler memory overflowed during the measurement. You should restart the measurement. This error may have occurred due to additional programs, other than the WCTS program, running on the test set or due to background processes controlled by the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.

42

State Machine Overflow; Retry Measurement: Due to a race condition or system loading, the measurement state machine overflowed during the measurement. You should restart the measurement. This error may have occurred due to additional programs, other than the WCTS program, running on the test set or due to background processes controlled by the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.
