Error Messages
Error Messages
If an error condition occurs in the signal generator, it is reported to both the
front panel display error queue and the SCPI (remote interface) error queue.
These two queues are viewed and managed separately; for information on the
SCPI error queue, refer to the
Keysight Signal Generators Programming
Guide
.
NOTE
When there is an unviewed message in the front panel error queue, the
ERR
annunciator appears on the signal generator’s display.
Error Message File
A complete list of error messages is provided in the file
errormessages.pd f
, on
the CDROM supplied with your instrument.
In the error message list, an explanation is generally included with each error
to further clarify its meaning. The error messages are listed numerically. In
cases where there are multiple listings for the same error number, the
messages are in alphabetical order.
Error Message Format
When accessing error messages through the front panel display error queue,
the error numbers, messages and descriptions are displayed on an enumerated
(“1 of N”) basis.
