Error Message Descriptions
Device-Specific Error Messages
[
−
399 to
−
300]
An error number in the range [
−
399 to
−
300] indicates that the
instrument has detected an error where some device operations did not
properly complete, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware
condition. This is not a error in response to a SCPI query or command,
or command execution. These errors are also used for self-test response
errors. The occurrence of any error in this class will cause the
device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register to be set.
Device-Specific Error Message Descriptions
(Number) Description
(-362) Framing error in program message
Indicates that a stop bit was not detected when data
was received (for example, a baud rate mismatch).
(-361) Parity error in program message
Indicates that the parity bit was not correct when data
was received (for example, an incorrect parity bit on a
serial port).
(-360) Communication error
This is the generic communication error for devices
that cannot detect more specific errors.
(-350) Queue overflow
This is a specific code entered into the queue in lieu of
the code that caused the error. This message indicates
that there is no more room in the queue and an error
occurred but was not recorded.
(-340) Calibration failed
Indicates that the device has detected a failure during
its calibration procedure.
(-330) Self-test failed
Indicates that the device has detected a failure during
its self-test procedure.
