Calibration Messages

C-1

Introduction

This appendix lists all calibration errors that may occur dur-
ing calibration as well as the :CAL:PROT:DATA? response.

Error summary

Table C-1 summarizes Model 2001 calibration errors. The 
error string returned over the bus by the :SYST:ERR? query 
include the error ID code and message separated by a 
comma and the message surrounded by quotes. For exam-
ple:

+438, “Date of calibration not set”

Calibration data query response

Table C-2 lists the response to the :CAL:PROT:DATA? 
query. The response is an ASCII string of 99 numbers sepa-
rated by commas, and is not affected by the FORMAT com-
mand. Constants listed in Table C-2 are shown in the order 
they are sent.
