"nan" means "not a number."  It sounds like somehow the span value got
set to an illegal floating-point number.  Try doing a "Parameter
Initialization" as described in the manual.  (Basically hold the LABELS
key and tap the POWER key.)  Be aware that a param init resets all your
function keys and other settings.

No I've never heard of that one before.  Congratulations on being the
first. :=)
