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 m (ft)
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 (128, 256, or 512)
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
Refer to Figure 3-16, page 3-27, for a plot of maximum range versus
frequency span.
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 or a complete open,
short, load isolation and thru calibration must be performed before
calibration can be turned on.
DIST REQUIRES
F1<F2
Valid distance to fault plots require a non-zero frequency span.
