The instrument attempts to center the pulse before making it two divisions high.
These messages indicate that the waveform could not be properly placed on the
display. This usually means that the offset or gain circuitry on the Main board is
not working properly.

The instrument must be repaired. If it is possible to adjust the pulse vertically on
the display and no other error messages have been displayed, it might be possible
to make measurements. If the pulse is not two divisions high, do not make
measurements.

This message can occur at power on initialization only. These are common error
messages because they are triggered by many kinds of failures and come from
one of the very first routines that the instrument executes. They are usually fatal
