not put into the SCPI error queue by default. Normally the status bit is the only way for detecting these
errors remotely.
It is possible to enable Input Overload reporting to the SCPI queue, by issuing the
:SYSTem:ERRor:OVERload ON command. To return to the default state, issue the
:SYSTem:ERRor:OVERload OFF command. In either case, Input Overloads always set the status bit.
For versions of firmware before A.10.01, the Input Overload was only a Warning and so was never available
in the SCPI queue, although it did set the status bit. For A.10.01 and later, the Input Overload is an error
and can be enabled to the SCPI queue using this command.
Key Path
SCPI only
Remote Command
:SYSTem:ERRor:OVERload[:STATe] 0|1|OFF|ON
Example
:SYST:ERR:OVER 1 Enable overload errors
Preset
Set to OFF by Restore Misc Defaults (no Overload errors go to SCPI)
State Saved
Saved in instrument state.
Initial S/W Revision
A.10.01
Power Up (Remote Command Only)
This serves to show the errors encountered during the application boot-up, such as: mismatch FW-FPGA,
missing Calibration data, missing hardware and construction errors.
Remote Command
:SYSTem:ERRor:PUP?
Notes
If no error occurs, the return value will be: “No Power Up Errors.”
Return Value: <list of error strings>.
<List of error strings> is an <IEEE488 Block> format.
Return Value Example:
“Power up errors, see details in Windows Event Log”
"Unmatched FPGA Version(s), See details in Windows Event Log”
