Power badge error and warning messages (optional)
These tables provide information to help resolve error or warning messages that appear on the power measurement badges.
Error messages displayed on the power measurement badges
Error Message Cause Suggestion
Empty input The oscilloscope is waiting for
a Single Seq trigger.
Check that the oscilloscope has a valid input waveform.
Input source mismatch Incorrect combination of live
(active) and Ref source
waveforms.
In the case of two Ref
waveforms, the two waveforms
recalled must have the same
record length and have been
acquired with the same
timebase setting.
Acquire two waveforms of the same type (active or ref)
Reacquire the Ref waveforms with the same time base and
record length.
Too few edges No edges found on the input
waveform as the waveform
could be very noisy.
Increase the Hysteresis band and rerun the measurement. The
Hysteresis values are set in the measurement configuration
menu Reference Levels panel.
Change the Acquisition mode and BW limit to reduce the noise
in the waveform.
Error from Frequency
measurement
Not able to measure frequency
value on the input waveform
due to noisy waveform.
Adjust the measurement Hysteresis band to compute edges
properly so that frequency can be measured. The Hysteresis
values are set in the measurement configuration menu
Reference Levels panel.
Error from RMS measurement Not able to measure RMS
value on the input waveform
due to noisy waveform.
Adjust the measurement Hysteresis band to compute edges
properly so that RMS can be measured. The Hysteresis values
are set in the measurement configuration menu Reference
Levels panel.
Error from MaxElement
measurement
Not able to measure MIN/MAX
value on the input waveform
due to noisy waveform.
Adjust Hysteresis band to compute edges properly so that MIN/
MAX can be measured. The Hysteresis values are set in the
measurement configuration menu Reference Levels panel.
Invert probing points Polarity mismatch between the
probe to test points on the
DUT
Check and inverse the probe polarity to match with DUT test
points.
Too few edges The oscilloscope has acquired
less than one complete SW
cycle.
Increase time base to capture more than one complete cycle.
Use Power Autoset to optimize the oscilloscope settings for
power measurements.
