When using AnyWave software the dimensions of a waveform can be changed by selecting the Modify item in the Waveform menu. Then select the Waveform Dimensions item in the Edit menu. #\ \Conflicting instrument settings. When a waveform is sent to the instrument, the instrument is set in a new state. With the selected waveform the state in which the instrument is placed is not possible. \ \Error writing sequence data.7 An error occured while writing sequence data to the instrument. This can be caused by an illegal setting in the data that is sent to the generator. Eg. an arbitrary waveform memory location is specified that is too high. Also check if the cable is connected properly. Another reason can be that the selected baud rate is too high. Select Connect in the Instruments menu and choose a lower baud rate from the Baud Rate list box. Note: When using PM5150 with RS232 interface make sure that Handshaking is set to Hardware on the instrument. :\ \Not enough free memory in\Arbitrary Waveform Generator. The memory in the Arbitrary Waveform Generator has a fixed size. There is not enough free memory in the instrument to send the selected waveform. Use the DEL function of the generator to free instrument memory (refer to instrument manual) or reduce to number of samples of the waveform. To change the dimensions of a waveform, select the Modify item in the Waveform menu. Then select the Waveform Dimensions item in the Edit menu. I\X Size does not equal the\selected acquisition length of\the instrument.c The number of samples of the waveform must match the acquisition length of the instrument. D\The initialization of the\acquisition in the instrument\has failed. To receive a waveform from the instrument, an initialization of the acquisition takes place. This initialization has failed. Check if the instrument is placed in the proper state to perform this operation. When that is not the case, check if the cable is connected properly. Another reason can be that the selected baud rate is too high. Select Connect in the Instruments menu and choose a lower baud rate from the Baud Rate list box. ^ Pass/fail test can not be done by\ the instrument.\ This can also occur when\ instrument is a CombiScope with no\ Math Plus software option.E The option Test by Instrument has been turned on for the pass/fail testing with envelopes.
