Operators Manual
6-16
A zero value is returned when the error queue is empty. To read the entire contents of the
error queue, repeat ERR? until the response 0,“No Error” is returned. For terminal users,
the error queue return for ERR? is always 0,“No Error” because error messages are
returned instead of queued.
Response:
<value>, (error code value)
<string> (text string explaining the error)
Example:
ERR? returns 0,“No Error”
Return 0,“No Error” when the error queue is empty.
ERR_UNIT
(IEEE-488, RS-232, Overlapped)
(UUT Error Unit Thresh Hold command) Chooses how UUT error is shown (this in
nonvolatile).
Parameter:
GT1000 UUT error is displayed in % above 1000 ppm, ppm below
GT100 UUT error is displayed in % above 100 ppm, ppm below
GT10
UUT error is displayed in % above 10 ppm, ppm below
PPM
UUT error is displayed in ppm always
PCT
UUT error is displayed in % always
ERR_UNIT?
(IEEE-488, RS-232)
(UUT Error Unit Thresh Hold query) Returns presently selected values of ERR_UNIT as
one of the choices.
Responses: GT1000 UUT error is displayed in % above 1000 ppm, ppm below
GT100 UUT error is displayed in % above 100 ppm, ppm below
GT10
UUT error is displayed in % above 10 ppm, ppm below
PPM
UUT error is displayed in ppm always
PCT
UUT error is displayed in % always
*ESE
(IEEE-488, RS-232)
(Event Status Enable command) Loads a byte into the Event Status Enable (ESE)
register. (See Chapter 5 for more information.)
Parameter: <value>
(decimal
equivalent of the 8-bit binary number to load into the
register.)
Example: *ESE
140
Enables bits 2 (QYE), 3 (DDE), and 7 (PON), and disables all the other bits.
