4.5.5 Analysis error messages
The following error messages will display in the message box at the bottom of the display if an error is
found in the analysis prior to the SBC sending the method to the oven.
Message Issue / Fix
Analysis not found (e.g.:
Name mismatch)
An Analysis has a trailing space on the end of name that has gone
undetected. One example: Remove space at end of Analysis Name.
TCF is outside Method A TCF non-End of Analysis script precedes the start of the first Method
defined in the Analysis.
Component TCF - Begin
crest time > 0
A Component TCF has a Crest Begin time offset that is less than zero.
Component TCF - Begin
time >= End time
A Component TCF cannot have a Crest Begin time offset greater than or
equal to its Crest End time offset.
Component TCF: 0 length
Component Name
A Component TCF cannot have an empty Component Name.
Bad oven address for
[DeviceName]
For a given TCF, the associated oven name could not be found in the
device lookup collection.
(Method's oven =
[Oven_Id]) != (TCF
[Sbst].[Node]
.[Type].[Chan])
Analysis has a Method assigned to one oven containing a TCF referring to
a device in another oven.
Component TCF: 0 length
Detector Name
A Component TCF cannot have an empty Detector name.
Non Sequence/TCF after
DoNext/SkipNext
Conditional TCF types must be followed by a legitimate TCF type (e.g.:
Not a Method or a Sequence).
DoNextIf is the last TCF in
Analysis
A Do Next TCF type cannot be the last TCF in an Analysis.
DoNextIf TCF precedes
Component TCF
A Do Next If TCF cannot precede Component TCF.
DoNextIf TCF precedes
DoNextIf TCF
A Do Next If TCF cannot precede another Do Next If TCF.
DoNextIf TCF precedes
TcfSkipNextIf
A Do Next If TCF cannot precede a Skip Next If TCF.
DoNextIf TCF precedes
StreamStep Tcf
A Do Next If TCF cannot precede Stream Step TCF.
DoNextIf TCF precedes
UnknownPeak TCF
A Do Next If TCF cannot precede an Unknown Peak TCF type.
Duplicate Component found
in same Method
A Component with the same Component Name was found in the same
Method.
Component TCF - End crest
time < 0
A Component TCF has a Crest End time offset less than zero.
[Num] Component TCFs,
exceeds max
spec:[MaxNum]

Message Issue / Fix
Too many script TCFs in
[Analysis Name]
The count of the Script TCFs in this Analysis exceeds the maximum limit.
Invalid min Method TCF
StartTime=%d < 0
A TCF at Method scope was found to have a time offset of less than zero
seconds.
Found more than one
Stream Step TCF.
Only one Stream Step is allowed in each Analysis.
More than one Stream Step
TCF in [AnalysisName]
No Analysis can have more than one Stream Step.
Missing Stream Step TCF Every Analysis must have a Stream Step.
NO TCFs in Analysis:
"[AnalysisName]"
Analysis did not contain any TCFs.
[Method Name] inside prev
Method
An Analysis was found containing a Method having no TCFs nor any
Sequences.
[Sequence Name] in prev
Sequence
An Analysis was found containing a Sequence having no TCFs.
All active STEP table items
have a bad ["Analysis"]
No Schedule Elements in the STEP table were found having a wellformed Analysis.
[Component Name] - bad
time values
A part of the named Component TCF is outside of its containing Method.
Malformed Method -> no
oven assignment
Every Method must have an Oven Name specified in that Method.
Sequence.TimeOffset >=
Method.CycleTime
No Sequence start time can be greater than the containing Method's
CycleTime.
SkipNextIf is the last TCF in
Analysis
A Skip Next TCF type cannot be the last TCF in an Analysis.
SkipNextIf TCF precedes
Component TCF
A Skip Next If TCF cannot precede Component TCF.
SkipNextIf TCF precedes
DoNextIf TCF
A Do Skip If TCF cannot precede another Do Skip If TCF.
SkipNextIf TCF precedes
TcfSkipNextIf
A Skip Next If TCF cannot precede a Do Next If TCF.
SkipNextIf TCF precedes
UnknownPeak TCF
A Skip Next If TCF cannot precedes an Unknown Peak TCF type.
Malformed Analysis: Startup
purge < 1
An Analysis's Startup Purge must be greater than zero.
[Method Name]:Skip then
StreamStep
In the named Method, a skip occurs before the Stream Step.
SkipNextIf TCF precedes
StreamStep Tcf
A Skip Next If TCF cannot precede a Stream Step TCF.
StreamStep TCF starts at
time < 1 second
A Stream Step TCF cannot start at a time of less than one second into
the CycleTime.
(MaxTcfEndTime = [Secs])
> (CycleTime= [Secs])
Some TCF in the Method exceeded this containing Method's CycleTime.
Not all TCFs have a valid
start time
A TCF's time offset is configured at less than one second before the end
of the Cycle Time. Note one exception: End-Of-Analysis scripts.
1st TCF not starting at
reasonable time
First TCF time offset is configured to start before one second into the
Cycle Time.
Invalid min Seq TCF
StartTime = %d < 0
A TCF at Sequence scope has a time offset of less than zero seconds.
[Description] TCF StartTime
<= 0
No TCFs are allowed to start at a start time of <= '0' (Inside a Method /
Sequence).
Same oven address in 2
Methods found Analysis:
"[AnalysisName]"
In one Analysis, two methods are configured to run in the same oven.
Same Component in two
different Methods
The same Component Name is found in two different Methods.
