Error Code Description
-161 Invalid block data
The expected number of data values was not received.
-200 Execution error
An error/event number in the range [-299, -200] indicates that an error has
been detected by the instruments execution control block. The occurrence
of any error in this class shall cause the execution error bit (bit 4) in the
Event Status Register to be set. An execution error can be the result of:
•
A <program data> element out of range, such as programming 35 volts in
a 33-volt device.
•
A command could not be executed due to the current condition of the
device .
-203 Command protected
Attempted to store calibration values to EEPROM without unlocking.
-221 Settings conflict
Attempted to set output greater than soft limits or to set soft limits less than
output
.
-222 Data out of range
Parameter exceeded range of valid values.
-241 Hardware missing
A legal command or query could not be executed because of a hardware
fault.
-340 Calibration failed
Error during calculation of calibration values occurred.
-350 Queue overflow
The error queue can contain up to 10 entries. If more than 10 error/event
conditions are logged before the SYSTem:ERRor? query, an overflow will
occur; the last queue entry will be overwritten with error -350. When the
queue overflows, the least recent error/events remain in the queue and the
most recent error/events are discarded.
-360 Communication error
Communications to a channel was disrupted.

Serial Poll Operation
Performing a serial poll will not modify the SCPI Status Byte other than to clear the SRQ
(bit 6) for a Asterion DC Multioutput power Supply requesting service. Queries affecting
the Status Registers and subsequent serial poll are described below:
*ESR?
clears the ESR and bit 5 of the SCPI Status Register
SYSTem:ERRor?
clears bit 2 of the SCPI Status Register if the queue is empty
SCPI Conformance Information
The syntax of all SCPI commands implemented by the Asterion DC Multioutput Series
power supplies and documented in this manual, are either SCPI confirmed, or they are
customized commands not part of the SCPI definition. None of the commands
