Trace Monitor Span Warning Messages
The Trace Monitor screen will provide an error message if the frequency span is too large for the selected RBW as shown in Figure: Trace Monitor Span Warning Message. The error message warns that the sweep will be blocked when the sweep is initiated in Trace Acquire.For specific sweep conditions, see Maximum Frequency Span. Once the error condition is corrected, the message will no longer be displayed.
Trace Monitor Span Warning Message
Data Sweep Blocked
When the sweep parameters are set up in Trace Monitor, initiating a sweep with Trace Acquire will sweep only when the sweep parameters set in Trace Monitor are valid.
Figure: Error Message Example for Invalid Frequency and Span Entries shows and example with two monitors. Each monitor has its own sweep criteria limitations:
• Monitor 1 is an MS27102A. The stop frequency is set to 8 GHz in Trace Monitor. The limitation for this MS27102A is a stop frequency of 6 GHz. In this example, the sweep will not start due to an invalid stop frequency.
• Monitor 2 is an MS2090A. The Start Frequency is set at 50 GHz and a Stop Frequency of 54 GHz. In this example, the sweep will not start due to an invalid span. Refer to Maximum Frequency Span. The Frequency span of 4 GHz is too large.and must be reduced to less than 100 Hz or the RBW must be increased to 3 kHz.
Error Message Example for Invalid Frequency and Span Entries
1. Open Trace Acquire: Press Sweep Monitors or Sweep once to initiate sweep
2. Error Message: Captures sweep span parameter errors when Monitor 1 sweep is initiated.
3. Error Message: Captures sweep frequency parameter errors when Monitor 2 sweep is initiated.
