3.7.2.8 AMH Error Messages
The AMH mass handler informs the PG9000 of certain error conditions.
An AMH error condition is indicated on the PG Terminal by an error message
and listing of the error number on the bottom right hand of the display.
An AMH error is indicated remotely by the PG9000 return string including the
character “E” in the third “Ready indicator position”. The “Ready” indication is
included in the “PR” and “STATUS” commands. When an “E” has been returned,
the error identification can then be retrieved using the “AMHERR” command.
See the PG9000 Operation and Maintenance Manual, Remote Operation for
additional information.
The possible errors are listed in Table 10.
