Help with an SPC Error on Tektronix DPO3034
« on: March 04, 2021, 04:49:39 am »
I had not run SPC on my DPO3034 for a very long time and today i realize that it fails SPC  :palm: :palm:
It fails at almost the end of the SPC. But self tests always pass even in loops of 10 never fail.
I ran the SPC in manufacturing mode and no difference but I can now get a slightly more meaningful error message in the error log
which unfortunately goes beyond the window  :palm: the morons who wrote the FW didn't wrap the text so that it continues on the second line instead of disappearing out of the window....

anyways, using :ERR:FIR? command from the scope's web page I can finally extract the error message as this:
Code: [Select]
846: 3 0 0 Calibrate 22:52:11 03/03/2021 CH4 NREJ comparator A 2mV/div -FAILED- 2mV Trig Hyst Rslt too hi

any ideas? any suggestions as to where I should be looking at? I believe NREJ means Noise Reject mode in Trigger setup
and the rest are pretty much self explanatory except the last two words "too hi"? what is "too high"?

I noticed that if I change down to 2mv/div or 1mv/div on all channels, CH4 has more noise (some spikes actually) than the other 3 channels
Those other 3 channels dont show spike noise

any suggestion is appreciated
