Appendix C: Error Messages
Error Number Error Message String Error Causes
0 "No error"
-100 "Command error" Generally the result of sending a
command that uses incorrect syntax.
This same error may result from the
inability of the AC source to process
successive GPIB non-query commands
sent to it. To avoid this condition, it is
necessary for the application
programmer to insert a 20 msec delay
between commands.
-200 "Execution error" Generally the result of sending a value
that is out of range, i.e., a VOLT 200
command when the unit is in the 150 V
(Low) range.
-300 "Device specific error" Generally the result of an over current
(current limit trip) or over temperature
condition.
-350 "Queue overflow" Generally caused by too many errors
being generated without reading error
status, causing error buffer to overflow.
-400 "Query error" Generally caused by sending a query
followed by another command without
accepting the query response first.
