Range Errors

A listing of Range Error messages is given in Table 2-3.

Error Message

Description

RANGE
ERROR:F1 > F2

The start (F1) frequency is greater than the stop (F2) frequency.

RANGE
ERROR:D1 > D2

The start (D1) distance is greater than the stop (D2) distance.

RANGE
ERROR:D2 >
DMax=xx.x ft (m)

The stop distance (D2) exceeds the maximum unaliased range. This
range is determined by the frequency span, number of points,
and relative propagation velocity:

Where:

dp is the number of data points (130, 259, or 517)
V

f

is the relative propagation velocity

F2 is the stop frequency in Hz
F1 is the start frequency in Hz
Maximum Unaliased Range is in meters

RANGE ERROR:
TOP<=BOTTOM

The SWR scale parameter top value is less than or equal to its bottom
value.

RANGE ERROR:
TOP>=BOTTOM

The RL scale parameter top value is greater than or equal to its bottom
value.

CAL
INCOMPLETE

A complete open, short, and load calibration must be performed bef-
ore calibration can be turned on.

DIST REQUIRES
F1 < F2

Valid distance to fault plots require a non-zero frequency span.

DIST REQUIRES
CAL

Distance-to-fault measurements cannot be performed with CAL OFF.

NO STORED
SWEEP AT THIS
LOCATION

Attempting to recall a display from a location that has not been previ-
ously written to. That is, the location does not contain stored sweep.

USE OPTIONS

Attempting to print a display with no printer selected. Select a printer,
then retry.
