APPENDIX C. PC208 ERROR MESSAGES
C-3
Signature error detected...will repeat.
A signature error was detected while receiving a
datalogger program stored in the SM. The request
for program will be repeated automatically.
x
A signature error was detected while receiving a
block of data collected with the F, D, C, or P
collection methods. The block will be repeated. A "."
is used to display a block with no signature errors.
Error in program number prefix.
The prefix directs a .DLD file to 1 of 8 areas in
the SM. Legal prefixes are #1 to #8. If no
prefix is used, the .DLD file will be stored in SM
program area 1.
C.4 PC208E/TELCOM ERROR
MESSAGES:
RF Modem Set Link failed!
Communication with the base RF modem was
established, but the base station could not get a
response from a remote RF station. Check the
base radio, battery and antenna connections,
also, check remote radio, battery, RF modem
and antenna connections.
Communication broken with RF Modem
Communication was established with the base
RF station but now no response is coming back.
Communication failure with RF Modem!
The base RF modem is responding incorrectly.
Check baud rate of computer, the RF modem
will only work at 300 or 1200 baud.
Communication failure with Smartmodem!
The Smartmodem is responding incorrectly.
Check baud rate of computer, the correct baud
rate of the modem and datalogger must be 300,
1200 or 9600 baud.
Communication not established with RF
Modem!
Communication was not established with the
base RF modem. Check baud rate, cable
connections, and power to RF modem.
Communication not established with
Smartmodem!
Communication was not established with
Smartmodem. Check baud rate, cable
connections, com port and power to modem.
Out of memory!
The RAM in the computer was exceeded.
Remove any RAM resident programs to give
more room for TELCOM or expand the RAM in
the computer.
Smartmodem did not detect carrier!
The modem dialed but received no response
from the answer modem. Check that your
phone line is plugged into the Smartmodem.
Also, listen to your speaker on the
Smartmodem to verify that the dialed number is
calling the correct number.
Checksum error!
A block of data received by the computer was
incorrect. Check for other modems connected
to the same phone line as the calling computer.
If frequent checksum errors occur then have the
phone line checked. Or, if another type of link
then have the link checked.
Signature error!
A block of data received by the computer was
incorrect. Check for other modems connected
to the same phone line as the calling computer.
If frequent signature errors occur then have the
phone line checked. Or, if another type of link
then have the link checked.
Communication failure with datalogger!
The datalogger is responding incorrectly.
Check the .STN file that the proper datalogger
has been specified, also, check the baud rate.
If a 21X or CR7 datalogger uses security, it may
be left unlocked if communication fails.
Communication broken with datalogger!
Communication was established but now the
datalogger is not responding at all. Check that link
has not been broken or the battery has gone down.
If a 21X or CR7 datalogger uses security, it may be
left unlocked if communication fails.
Communication not established with
datalogger!
Communication was not established at all with
the datalogger. Check the cables, battery, baud
rate and datalogger type in the .STN file.
Datalogger Reset by Watchdog XX times!
The datalogger has had a hardware reset. Consult
Campbell Scientific whenever this happens. To reset
the E08 counter get into the telecommunications mode
and issue an '8888A' and it will reset to zero.
Datalogger Area 2 was not selectable!
In the .STN file you selected Final Memory Area
2 and the datalogger has not had memory
allocated to Area 2. See datalogger manual for
instructions to allocate Area 2 memory.
